No the problem is not in OpaL::action. Instead it is the severity level of the
problem that is wrong. It is set to 4 which means informational message. The
informational messages are not printed by default.
A fix will be to change the level to 3 which means warning.
If you change line the lines that contain "Loading config file" in the
debarchiver
command from:
pdebug(4, "Loading config file...
to
pdebug(3, "Loading config file...
it will solve this problem.
If you could verify this soltion, it would be good. If it works for you, I'll
upload a new version with that fix.
