Bug Description

I am trying to backup a CD to a single flac file with an embedded cuesheet using the following command:

$ abcde -1 -M -o flac

abcde exits after the first track. It should rip the entire album to a single flac file. The cue file is succesfully generated and references all 15 tracks though.

Running dapper, abcde version: 2.3.99.2-1

This is the full output from abcde:

I am using a dvd-rom in an external usb2 enclosure for extraction, but I don't think that makes a difference as I don't have any problems ripping this cd to flac without the single-track option.

Mystery solved. It would appear that the man page is slightly ahead of
abcde's capabilities. According to the upstream changelog, CD backup to
a single flac file was implemented in 2.3.99.3. Current version in
dapper is only 2.3.99.2, yet the man page describes this feature. I have
installed 2.3.99.5 from sid and this feature works as described.
