Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.83
Severity: normal
A rare but possible construct in debian packages is for a source to
build binaries with a different version to the source. Examples may be
located by grepping for packages containing parentheses in their Source
control field:
grep-available -FSource -e '\('
When this happens, apt-listchanges logic for locating the 'since' point
in the changelogs is broken. What needs to happen is when reading a
binary package's Version control information, it must first check for a
Source field, and if present, check whether the Source field contains a
parenthesized version, and if so, use that version in preference to the
Version field whereever the *source* version is the important datum -
i.e. in determining changelog cutoff point.
