Package: at
Version: 3.1.10.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
A friend of mine wrote a script for recording streams from radiostations; in
that script he did used at but his version on Ubuntu 9.10 is at 3.1.11 while
the at on Debian Lenny and Ubuntu LTS is 3.1.9:
there seems to be an incompatibility between both versions and that
incompatibility renders the at package unusable because the scripts using it
are made incompatible, so unusable.
The error is still the same:
at: invalid option -- t
and then the Usage: lines
But nothing shall help as long as there isn't an universal param ...
PLEASE fix this problem by providing us with a standard "for ALL" versiosn
compatible timespec parameter;
or Debian should urgently publish a more recent version of at !

No, at is perfectly usable without the -t option.

Debian testing/sid both ship version 3.1.11 which introduced the -t
option.

The -t option is just another way to specify the time, other formats are
also supported by the old version (e.g. `at 17:00 2010-01-02').
