Hi Guillem, Sandro, I am about to upload (via my sponsor) an NMU of apt-listchanges fixing the bug to DELAYED-7. I've attached the diff of my changes. Essentially, the patch uses the package's Architecture field to find the binNMU changelog file rather than using dpkg-architecture, and removes the dependency on dpkg-dev as a result. Please let me know if you would rather I withdrew the upload. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Boot deb...@bootc.net GPG: 8467 53CB 1921 3142 C56D C918 F5C8 3C05 D9CE EEEE
