** Description changed:
Binary package hint: dpkg
According to the dpkg-dev changelog, some significant changes were made
to the Dpkg::Changelog::Entry clas. One of the significant recent
changes is the removal of the init method from that class. So, instead
of instantiating new entry objects using Dpkg::Changelog::Entry->init(),
new Dpkg::Changelog::Entry should be used instead.
The problem is that most of the code was updated accordingly except for
one line in /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm:
$entry = newDpkg::Changelog::Entry->init();
This is causing applications depending on this code such as alien to
fail horribly:
Can't locate object method "init" via package "Dpkg::Changelog::Entry" at
/usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog/Debian.pm line 260, <STDIN> line 8.
This is a simple problem to fix, please check it out.
TEST CASE:
apt-get source man-db
cd man-db-*
dpkg-parsechangelog --all
- The command will fail on hardy, and work with the hardy-proposed
- version.
+ The command will fail on hardy, and work with the hardy-proposed version
+ of dpkg-dev.
