Bug#806915: stow: chkstow -l only works for 'stow'

[Nathaniel Morck Foley-Beaver]

I have reported the bug upstream here:

https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/61

Bug#806915: stow: chkstow -l only works for 'stow'

[Nathaniel Morck Beaver]

Package: stow
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The `chkstow --list` command only works when the stow directory is 
called 'stow'. This is mentioned in a "FIXME" comment in the current 
version of the source code.


http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stow.git/tree/bin/chkstow.in?id=cc0767597e5f9e23400323b42550e4672160b3c0#n97

I have also attached a shell script to reproduce the behavior. The 
`chkstow` invocation outputs only



package1


when it should output


package1
package2


Suggested fix: let the `chkstow` command take a `--dir` flag like `stow` 
does.


Sincerely,

Nathaniel Beaver
