Package: apt-listchanges Version: 3.18 Severity: normal Usertags: hardcoding
apt-listchanges hard-codes /var/lib/dpkg/status instead of using the
apt Dir::State::status option, which means if that option has been
customised, possibly by setting the APT_CONFIG variable to a config file that
has a Dir::State::status option that points at a location that is not the
Debian rootfs, then apt-listchanges will return results
for the Debian rootfs instead of the custom location.
status = DebianFiles.ControlParser()
status.readfile('/var/lib/dpkg/status')
status.makeindex('Package')
Likewise, apt-listchanges hard-codes /etc/apt instead of using the apt
Dir::Etc option to locate the apt-listchanges.conf file.
config.read('/etc/apt/listchanges.conf')
