Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.7p1-12 Severity: minor In /usr/share/doc/openssh-client/faq.html I read that, in order to copy a file with a colon in the file name, one needs to use an absolute file name, like this:
$ scp ./source:file sshserver: However, I argue that this should be present in the man page, not only in a faq. The reason is that it is part of the specification of how the program works, and cannot be deduced from any other documentation contained in the man page. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.108 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.20 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.8-2 common error description library ii libedit2 2.11~20080614-1 BSD editline and history libraries ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080308-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-10.1 SSL shared libraries ii passwd 1:4.1.1-2 change and administer password and ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii openssh-blacklist 0.4.1 list of default blacklisted OpenSS ii openssh-blacklist-extra 0.4.1 list of non-default blacklisted Op ii xauth 1:1.0.3-2 X authentication utility -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
