• Bug#1103990: -quiet shows informational messages

    From martin f krafft@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 23 19:20:02 2025
    Package: xclip
    Version: 0.13-4
    Severity: minor
    File: /usr/bin/xclip

    From the manpage:

    -quiet show informational messages on the terminal and run in the foreground

    No. Just no. ;)

    (it actually does do this, but that is not being -quiet)
