[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This is sent to the bug address for both split and help2man because I don't
really know where the fault lies.  Both help2man and split are GNU
software, though, so I hope you can cooperate and figure it out.

In any event, there's a bit of the output that is challenging to read
because line breaks have been lost.  The output of "help2man split" joins
the nines in the poriti that begins

I have no clue what that means.

The coreutils project uses a Bug Tracking System (aka BTS) for
tracking bugs.  It is an instantiation of the Debian BTS.  A month ago
on Sun, 30 Nov 2014 09:06:32 -0800 you sent in a bug report.  It was
assigned bug number Bug#19228 at that time.

Today you sent in a duplicate of that previous report.  It was
assigned Bug#19476.  As far as I can tell the report today was
identical to the previous report.  Therefore Pádraig merged the two
bug ticket numbers together.  They are identical and therefore merging
duplicates is standard operating procedure for any bug tracking
system.

You can see the web interface to the bug log here:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/19228
  http://debbugs.gnu.org/19476

To browse all of the bugs that are being tracked that are associated
with coreutils visit this URL:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=coreutils

After opening a bug ticket if you have further comments simply
follow-up to the previous message and send those further comments to
the existing bug ticket rather than opening a new ticket.

Bob
