Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.15 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dpkg-parsechangelog
Dear Maintainer, The dpkg-parsechangelog manual page says: --file file Set the changelog filename to parse. Default is ‘-’ (standard input). That is, however, not the case. It actually reads the debian/changelog file, even when stdin is a pipe: $ git show esr45/master:debian/changelog | dpkg-parsechangelog --file - -S Version 45.6.0esr-1 $ git show esr45/master:debian/changelog | dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 50.1.0-1 $ dpkg-parsechangelog --file debian/changelog -S Version 50.1.0-1 $ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version 50.1.0-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.27.51.20161212-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.15 ii make 4.1-9 ii patch 2.7.5-1 pn perl:any <none> ii tar 1.29b-1.1 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 12.2 ii fakeroot 1.21-3 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:6.2.1-1 ii gcc-6 [c-compiler] 6.2.1-6 ii gnupg 2.1.16-3 ii gpgv 2.1.16-3 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: pn debian-keyring <none> -- no debconf information
