Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.94.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
If there is an upgradable package which is availabe in two repositories
e.g. lenny and lenny/updates, the changelog from the older
source version would be downloaded. This leads to an empty changelog.
The apt.package.Package.get_changelog method tries to get the correct
section from the source record, but it only checks the first source
record of a binary package name and doesn't check if it is older than the
binary version.
Cheers,
Sebastian
