Package: procps
Version: 2:4.0.2-2

Dear Maintainer,

skill's -p flag seems to have stopped working as a selector.

In version 2:3.3.17-5, this did what I expected:

% echo $$
3004161
% skill -n -p $$
3004161

In 2:4.0.2-2 in unstable:

% echo $$
50078
% skill -n -p $$
[list of ALL pids, including 50078]

Looks like -p pid has become a "match any" selector. That seems
unlikely to be the intended effect.

I believe in 2:3.3.17-7.1 this also still worked fine.

Thank you for maintaining procps.

Best,
Chris
