Package: src:bash
Version: 2.01-0
Severity: minor

Hello,

a malformed line in changelog.Debian.gz triggers a warning when trying
to open said changelog inside aptitude. To reproduce it, open aptitude
(the ncurses interface), go to the "bash" package and press C (capital
C). The warning message is interspersed within the aptitude window, so
it can't be pasted here. I can't seem to reproduce it calling
aptitude-changelog-parser from the command line.

The guilty line seems to be:

"-- James Troup <[email protected]>  Thur, 19 June 1997 19:13:34
+0100"

(yes, that's 1997, a whopping 23 years ago). It belongs to bash version
2.01-0, hence the "Version:" header.

I suspect that changing "Thur," into "Thu," would fix the issue.

Sorry for digging up such an archeological find.

Regards,
Gabriele Stilli
