 TK> Is this intentional behaviour? In the docs there is:

There is also in the docs:

-p <integer>
    purge after n days: used by purging utilities like sqpack (*); default value is 0;

So, in your first example '-nopack' says not to purge, but after that '-p 366' says "Do purge" and cancels the previous command not to purge. It is the intentional behaviour. I have changed the documentation to reflect this fact. Thank you for paying attention to that.
