shutter --man displays source code

[Andrew]

Binary package hint: shutter

The manpage for shutter claims:

    --man Prints the manual page and exits.

but running

    shutter --man

fills the screen with what I assume must be the Perl source code of Shutter. Is this some kind of joke?

It's a bug not a joke ;-)

Thanks for reporting.

It would have been a very good one...

You have to install the package perl-doc for this to work.
The package has a size of 7.113 kB. I think we should consider to remove this option instead of adding the package as a dependency, because you can also use 'man shutter' without having the perl-doc package installed.

sounds good
