proxmox-backup-client task log command outputs to STDERR

[BuzzKillingtonne]

I've noticed that since updating to proxmox-backup-client 2.3.1-1 that the command: proxmox-backup-client task log <UPID> --repository <user>@<PBS IP address>:<datastore> no longer outputs to STDOUT. I've found that I now need to add 2>&1 after the command to redirect the output from stderr to stdout in order for it to work in my backup script (can't pipe or run the command in a variable without 2>&1 because of this). This seems strange that it outputs to stderr when looking at a log file, is this a mistake or by design?

Should I be making a bug report? If so, where should I look to make that report?

mhmm i cannot imagine why we would want that output on stderr... if you want you can open a bug report on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com
(but maybe i don't know all the details and it makes sense somehow?)
