Since today's upgrade to 2.10.17 debchange inserts an empty line before the new " * " entry. From looking through the code this seems related to the fix for #452806, i.e. the changed reading of the changelog; if I chomp $CHANGES the empty lines disappear again: # Open in anticipation.... unless ($opt_create) { open S, $changelog_path or fatal "Cannot open existing $changelog_path: $!"; # Read the first stanza from the changelog file # We do this directly rather than reusing $changelog{'Changes'} # so that we have the verbatim changes rather than a (albeit very # slightly) reformatted version. See Debian bug #452806 while(<S>) { last if /^ --/; $CHANGES .= $_; } chomp $CHANGES; # Reset file pointer seek(S, 0, 0); } I'm not sure if this affects other parts but it least it works for (explicit or implicit $opt_a and for dch $TEXT). Cheers, gregor, now going back to actually using dch again :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHyHaKOzKYnQDzz+QRAgElAKCYj7jEC5xsT/4qppgW1Gi7Iu0OFQCgy9VH 8qJkbi04eh33pSA7akQNEvc= =bsSB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
