BUG: invalid option -- '8'

[Michael Glembotzki]

Hi Stefano,

Most likely, hardly anyone will use this, but the new short parameters (-6, -7, -8) and old (0..5) don't work.

/usr/bin/swupdate -8 opensslAES
/usr/bin/swupdate: invalid option -- '8'
[DEBUG] : SWUPDATE running :  [read_module_settings] : Reading config settings for module logcolors
[DEBUG] : SWUPDATE running :  [read_module_settings] : No config settings found for module processes
/usr/bin/swupdate: invalid option -- '8'

Let's remove them or make it work, what do you think?

Best regards,
Michael

The short parameters are not supposed to work - a "-8" or whatever is
undocumented, and it has no connection with the real parameter. If -k
can be associated to --key, -8 has no association (if we don't play
billiard..).

Remove them is the best option.
