Package: mtp-tools
Version: 1.1.6-51-g1a2669c~ds0-1
Followup-For: Bug #658367
Dear Maintainer,
Here's what -h actually does: <quote>
eddy:1:vortex> mtp-detect -h
mtp-detect: invalid option -- 'h'
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
Found 1 device(s):
Samsung: Galaxy models (MTP) (04e8:6860) @ bus 4, dev 6
Attempting to connect device(s)
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Unable to open raw device 0
OK.
</quote> This takes several minutes. Given that it is doing freaky things to my
phone - reset ? what ? eek ! - a reasonable ignorant user may be distinctly
nervous both of letting it run and of interrupting it. Not a nice experience;
definitely bad news to have the man page mislead one into it.
Note that -V, -v and --version also get errors, similar to those above for
-h. Running strings /usr/bin/mtp-detect didn't reveal anything useful,
either. However, strings does find Usage messages for some (but by no means
all) other /usr/bin/mtp-*, albeit the messages omit the mtp- prefix from the
command names (e.g. mtp-hotplug has a usage message for "hotplug") rather than
having a %s to be filled in by basename(argv[0]).
The mtpfs man page (separate package, mtpfs) makes the same bogus claim, with
similar results when I actually try to use -h or --help. But that package
appears to be obsolete now.
Eddy.
