NAME

       popbugs - find RC bugs in packages you commonly use

SYNOPSIS

       popbugs [options] [popularity-contest log]

DESCRIPTION

       The  popbugs  program fetches the list of release critical bugs from the Debian bug tracking system on the internet.  It correlates the bug
       log with the popularity-contest data from your system to obtain a list of release critical bugs in packages, which  are	commonly  used	on
       your  system.   Normally  this  list  is displayed in a web browser.  Helping to resolve these bugs is a good idea, if you want to see your
       favourite programs in the next stable release of Debian.

OPTIONS

       -h

       --help Show a very short usage message.

       -ooutputfile

       --output=outputfile
	      Place the output in outputfile instead of displaying it in a browser.

       -d

       --debug
	      Output debugging information.
