Bug#548010: cupt: shell prints wrong error messages on unknown commands
Package: cupt Version: 1.0.0~beta1 Severity: minor Hi, when someone enters an unknown command into the cupt shell it says: cupt? E: unrecognized command 'x' It should probably say which command is unknown instead.

Thats also a good idea, but no, what I suggested is that if I enter xyz that it prints E: unrecognized command 'xyz' and not E: unrecognized command 'x' x is not a placeholder here. It is always printed, regardless of what the user enters. For the above example this would mean to print E: unrecognized command '?'

Now I reproduced with '?' too. It appears to be a strange shell behavior. I made cupt print help output however to make it not happen. -- Eugene V.
