--- Begin Message ---Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.85.12 Severity: serious apt-listchanges now needs a dependency on dpkg-dev. If you don't have dpkg-dev installed, when apt-listchanges attempts to execute dpkg-architecture it results in this traceback and error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 250, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 148, in main (news, changelog, binnmu) = pkg.extract_changes(config.which, fromversion, config.reverse) File "/usr/share/apt-listchanges/DebianFiles.py", line 143, in extract_changes arch = subprocess.check_output(['dpkg-architecture', '-qDEB_HOST_ARCH']).rstrip() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 566, in check_output process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, *popenargs, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 709, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1326, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Installing dpkg-dev solves the problem.
