Package: openrc
Version: 0.45.2-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
when I run the command 'openrc --help' the description of the functions is not correct.
$ openrc --help
Usage: openrc [options] [<runlevel>]
Options: [ a:no:s:SChqVv ]
  -n, --no-stop                     do not stop any services

  -o, --override <arg>              override the next runlevel to change into
                                      -s, --service <arg>               when leaving single user or boot runlevels

  -S, --sys                         runs the service specified with the rest
                                    of the arguments

  -h, --help                        output the RC system type, if any <-- INCORRECT
  -C, --nocolor                     Display this help output <-- INCORRECT

  -V, --version                     Disable color output <-- INCORRECT

  -v, --verbose                     Display software version <-- INCORRECT

  -q, --quiet                       Run verbosely <-- INCORRECT

steps to reproduce: run command 'openrc --help'.

There appears to be a problem with the newlines in the usage. I will forward
upstream.

Thanks

Actually, I can no longer reproduce this with  version 0.51-1. So I think it has
been fixed.
