ssh untest wget untest: unable to extract package and version from 'wget'

ssh untest wget untest: unable to extract package and version from 'wget'

[Brian Inglis]

I had problems getting clean tests of upgraded wget locally for some 
reason, but the build and test worked well on scallywag.
So I set SCALLYWAG=deploy, pushed to master, and that worked properly, 
with calm upload email, and upgraded wget in x86{,_64}/setup.ini the 
only release under [test].
But I cannot run 'untest wget': what have I forgotten, or am I missing, 
to be able to run this?

	$ ssh cygwin@cygwin.com untest wget
	untest: unable to extract package and version from 'wget'
	$ ssh cygwin@cygwin.com 'untest --help'
	usage: untest.py [-h] [PACKAGE [PACKAGE ...]]

	test hint remover

	positional arguments:
	  PACKAGE

	optional arguments:
	  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

You must include the version-release you wish to untest as well.

e.g 'untest wget-1.21.3-1'

See https://cygwin.com/package-upload.html#untest

I'll fix the help text to reflect that.

Thanks for that example and link: noted for future ref; worked great!

That would be appreciated, and also maybe if you could please clarify 
the current error message text, I might have clued in (or not!) e.g.

"unable to extract package, version, release from 'wget' argument"
