No! No bug report necessary. Your system is behaving correctly. "freevo
cache --thumbnail" is supposed to throw the error message you got, since
it does need a directory as a compulsory argument. On my system
the "--thumbnail" gets stripped out and freevo does a normal cache update
(freevo cache), so I don't get the error message you do.
So the conclusion is that it is working correctly in pure Debian, so I
guess my problem is coming from some difference in Ubuntu which breaks the
Debian wrapper script.
Thanks very much for clearing that up.
