Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-5 Severity: normal When I use "C" (View a package's changelog) on clang-15 from the aptitude TUI, I get a warning that is immediately erased, so that it is impossible to read it.
I suppose that aptitude should redirect stderr from aptitude-changelog-parser so that it can display its contents (when non empty) in a clear way. Enabling the terminal's logs allows me to get the text of this warning: aptitude-changelog-parser: warning: /tmp/aptitude-root.7707:EXkCUB/aptitude-download-4-bORTciGPJi,..uo2EeQnZD7WBcD+L6_aptitude-download-cbF3RCIRNjR7d%D7+V.DiRimX__YaCHL(l105): found start of entry where expected more change data or trailer This text seems to come from /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm: unless ($expect eq FIRST_HEADING || $expect eq NEXT_OR_EOF) { $self->parse_error($file, $., sprintf(g_('found start of entry where expected %s'), $expect), "$_"); } About this unexpected warning, there may be some other bug. But note that "apt changelog clang-15" is fine. -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm-256color $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.8.13 Compiler: g++ 12.1.0 Compiled against: apt version 6.0.0 NCurses version 6.3 libsigc++ version: 2.10.8 Gtk+ support disabled.
