Options have to precede non-option arguments, so what you're asking dpkg-split to do is to split into files starting `--msdos', eg `--msdos.1of3.deb' or whatever. However ... > Transcript: > Splitting package emacs into 11 parts: 1 mv: unrecognized \ > option `--msdos.1of11.deb' > Try `mv --help' for more information. ... dpkg-split should have been happy to do that. The problem is that there is a bug in the libc. I first noticed this bug when trying to use rsh - it would take the option arguments to the remote command and try to interpret them locally. `mv' is affected, too: -chiark:~> mv spong bar mv: spong: No such file or directory -chiark:~> mv spong --bar mv: unrecognized option `--bar' Try `mv --help' for more information. -chiark:~> This is a really stupid feature of the GNU implementation of getopt, which we should disable. I'm reassigning this bug to the libc package.
