Package: units
Version: 2.20-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
from the debian/changelog entry of units 2.20-1:
* Fix day-of-week for changelog entry 1.55-2.
To my surprise, the very same changelog causes date parsing errors when
showing it aptitude's changelog viewer (invoked by pressing Shift-C in
the TUI) before upgrading it:
> LINE: -- John Hasler <[email protected]> Thur, 29 May 2003 20:30:00 -0500
> aptitude-changelog-parser: warning:
> Hj:%AC4%7Z0wFYc9_aptitude-download-ochbAzXbL=5eW0lsLIqhSYulwy2^fzF+(l346):
> ignoring invalid week day
If aptitude shows a changelog of an to-be-upgraded package, it
highlights the differences between installed and to-be-installed package
versions and for that parses the changelog with
aptitude-changelog-parser (using Dpkg::Changelog::Parse). This caused
the above warnings to be garbled into aptitude's TUI.
Reason for this is that there are at least two date lines which have the
four-letter "Thur" instead of the expected three-letter "Thu". The
debian/changelog entries in question are:
units (1.81-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Closes: #195260 FTBFS with gcc-3.3: Uses multiline strings
Removed example script from end of units.c. gcc 3.3 was
choking on it despite it being inside a '#if 0 ... #endif'.
-- John Hasler <[email protected]> Thur, 29 May 2003 20:30:00 -0500
units (1.81-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Closes: #168132 FTBFS: missing build-depends
Added texi2html
-- John Hasler <[email protected]> Thur, 7 Nov 2002 8:00:00 -0600
The second cases also misses a second space (instead of a leading zero)
before the day of the month. Instead of "Thur, 7 Nov 2002 8:00:00 -0600"
the date should read "Thu, 7 Nov 2002 8:00:00 -0600".
For the sake of a properly parsable debian/changelog, it would be nice
if you could fix those two lines in one of the next few uploads, too.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Currently thinking about if it makes sense to have a lintian check
to detect such cases as this package seems not the only one. Found 11
other packages — funnily only with week days starting with a "T",
i.e. "Tues" and "Thur" — including one my own one packages. ;-)
