           Summary: cleanse needs a little more intellegence when dealing
                    with options . . .
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.x Series
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Cleanse
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: jflatt AT sourcemage.org


Running 'cleanse --help' as a normal user gives the help text for su: 
 
jason@jason:~$ cleanse --help 
You must be root to run this command. 
Switching to root user... 
Usage: su [OPTION]... [-] [USER [ARG]...] 
Change the effective user id and group id to that of USER. 
 
  -, -l, --login               make the shell a login shell 
  -c, --commmand=COMMAND       pass a single COMMAND to the shell with -c 
  -f, --fast                   pass -f to the shell (for csh or tcsh) 
  -m, --preserve-environment   do not reset environment variables 
  -p                           same as -m 
  -s, --shell=SHELL            run SHELL if /etc/shells allows it 
      --help     display this help and exit 
      --version  output version information and exit 
 
A mere - implies -l.   If USER not given, assume root.

Also, running cleanse as a normal user with an invalid option gives an error 
message for su: 
 
jason@jason:~$ cleanse --sdlkfjldsfjl 
You must be root to run this command. 
Switching to root user... 
su: unrecognized option `--sdlkfjldsfjl' 
Try `su --help' for more information. 
jason@jason:~$

Also, this may not be a bug, but it was a bit of a surprise when I was 
testing 
the options.  Running 'cleanse --' as a normal user ends up running cleanse 
as 
if no options were specified (i.e.: exec $0 --packages --delint --prune 
--sweep 
--fix), once the password is given.  When running the same command as root, 
the 
help/usage text is listed. 
 
jason@jason:~$ cleanse -- 
You must be root to run this command. 
Switching to root user... 
Password: 
Fixing packages... 
Pass 1 (bad lines) 
Pass 2 (non-existant spells) 
Pass 3 (duplicate entries) 
Done fixing packages. 
Delinting... 
Pass one (malformed lines) 
Pass two (stale entries) 
        0 bad lines, 1586 good lines in your depends file. 
Pass three (duplicate entries) 
Delint done. 
Pruning... 
dispel 
cast 
For future reference, lines are stored in /tmp/prune.200405301085940865 
Pruning done. 
Generating list of files to keep... 
etc.
