a/glibc-solibs-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-16.txz: Rebuilt.
upgradepkg: clean up --help output and add options
upgradepkg: accept -help option (not just --help)
upgradepkg: don't omit error messages in --terse mode
upgradepkg: only print missing new package in old%new mode
upgradepkg.8: move information about config file handling from BUGS to the
DESCRIPTION section
Thanks to Xsane.
ap/vim-8.1.0039-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/glibc-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
When installing the package, remove old versions of the glibc shared
libraries. In addition to eliminating residue on the system from old
package versions, this change will make it possible in the future to
revert to older glibc packages using upgradepkg.
l/glibc-i18n-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
l/glibc-profile-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
n/gnupg2-2.2.8-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in verbose mode.
By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status
messages. Using this technique it was for example possible to fake the
verification status of a signed mail.
