Bug Description

Binary package hint: wajig

using ubuntu karmic
wajig version 2.0.43

$ wajig install
wajig: Error: INSTALL requires a list of packages, .deb files, or url

$ wajig installlolcats
wajig: Error: INSTALLLOLCATS requires a list of packages, .deb files, or url

this error message is misleading because it gives the impression that INSTALLLOLCATS is a valid command

compare this with following behaviour

$ wajig detail
wajig: Error: DETAIL requires a list of packages or package file

$ wajig detaillollerskates
The command `detaillollerskates' was not recognised.
Perhaps it is not yet implemented or you misspelt the command.
Try `wajig help' for further information.
Try `wajig list-commands' for list of all commands.

This bug was fixed in the package wajig - 2.1

---------------
wajig (2.1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Tshepang Lekhonkhobe ]
  * Change versioning from 3 digits to 2. There wasn't much meaning there.
  * Remove gjig; it was more an experiment than a serious app, and:
    - more complete alternatives exist (e.g. synaptic and software-center)
    - UI is cranky and weird
  * Remove deps that were needed by gjig:
    - python-gtk2, python-glade2, python-gnome2, and gnome-terminal
  * INSTALLR, INSTALLRS: 'apt-get install' now installs Recommends by default,
    making these options redundant.
  * INSTALL, INSTALLS: add -r|--recommends and -R|--norecommends options.
  * INSTALLS: add -n|--noauth and -y|--yes options.
  * Add meself to Uploaders field in debian/control.
  * CHANGELOG: change -x to -P; it's a more meaningful short option for --pager
  * POLICY: more than one person has complained about removal of the alias of
    this command, AVAILABLE; I put it back.
  * SHOW: add -f|--fast to offer apt-cache's much faster implementation
  * INSTALL/DIST: fix brokenness, fixes LP: #540740.
  * SOURCE: don't run the command unless 'dpkg-dev' is installed,
    fixes LP: #662018
  * BUILD, BUILDDEP: add -y|--yes and -n|--noauth options.
  * AUTOREMOVE: add back after more than one request. (Closes: #590089)
  * Add --dist, an alias for apt-get -t|--target-release.
  * Slightly simplify the build: getting rid of dynamic bash completion
    generator.
  * Fix a Lintian complaint (add dependency on python).
