Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 4.2
Severity: normal
Hi Jonathan,
two other cases of ancient NEWS items being show, this time with
apt-listchanges 4.2 and when upgrading falkon from 23.08.1-1 to
23.08.2-1 and multiple src:libdrm packages from 2.4.115-1 to 2.4.116-1:
$ dpkg -l 'libdrm*'

I got shown three NEWS entries, one from a few days ago (correct), one
from 2018 (falkon) and one from 2007, seemingly for libdrm2, but I
suspect that at least the multiarch setup (libdrm2:amd64 vs
libdrm2:i386, see above) might have played a role:
--- News for falkon ---
falkon (3.0.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
===========================================
Falkon is a replacement for the former package Qupzilla. If you, or some
other user of this computer were using Qupzilla formerly, it is possible
to restore bookmarks which were gathered with Qupzilla, so they become
available for Falkon users.
Here is a method for user John Doe, in shell language:
# USER_HOME=/home/johnDoe;
# cp ${USER_HOME}/.config/qupzilla/profiles/default/bookmarks.json \
${USER_HOME}/.config/falkon/profiles/defaults/
Please notice that doing so will erase any previous file
${USER_HOME}/.config/falkon/profiles/defaults/bookmarks.json

[Inbetween was NEWS for xca 2.5.0-1 which was current as I upgraded from
2.4.0-2+b1]
--- News for libdrm2 ---
libdrm (2.3.0-4) experimental; urgency=low
* We are now shipping libdrm with the default permissions set to 666,
rather than the upstream default of 660. If you have untrusted users,
you should configure the X server to explicitly use a mode of 660 in
the xorg.conf.
