Package: apt-listchanges Version: 4.8 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, Emails from apt-listchanges for today's thunderbird update in trixie-security contain the stanzas in a different order to the changelog and this order does not make sense. apt-listchanges sent me: thunderbird (1:140.3.0esr-1) unstable; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.3.0esr-1~deb13u1) trixie-security; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.2.0esr-1) experimental; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.1.1esr-1) experimental; urgency=medium [...] while /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/changelog.Debian.gz contains: thunderbird (1:140.3.0esr-1~deb13u1) trixie-security; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.3.0esr-1) unstable; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.2.0esr-1) experimental; urgency=medium thunderbird (1:140.1.1esr-1) experimental; urgency=medium [...] Note the ordering of the first two entries. The most recent entry of changelog has a lower version string than the next one because this package is taking security updates into stable directly from unstable as the package is based on an upstream-supported LTS branch. The version in trixie-security needs to be lower than the version in forky/sid so that upgrades work. The changelog entries should be presented in the same order as the changelog so that they make sense. thanks Stuart -- Package-specific info: ==> /etc/apt/listchanges.conf <== [apt] frontend=mail confirm=true email_address=<....> save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges which=both no_network=false headers=true reverse=false email_format=html -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (60, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.38+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/22 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 3.0.3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.91 ii python3 3.13.5-1 ii python3-apt 3.0.0 ii python3-debconf 1.5.91 ii sensible-utils 0.0.25 ii ucf 3.0052 apt-listchanges recommends no packages.
