Package: apt Version: 2.5.4 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-Cc: Debhelper Maintainers <debhel...@packages.debian.org>
debhelper recently started removing older changelog entries from binary packages, but the way to get them with apt does not work: $ zcat /usr/share/doc/apt/changelog.gz | tail -5 -- Julian Andres Klode <j...@debian.org> Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:26:10 +0200 # Older entries have been removed from this changelog. # To read the complete changelog use `apt changelog apt`. $ apt changelog apt | tail -5 WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. -- Julian Andres Klode <j...@debian.org> Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:26:10 +0200 # Older entries have been removed from this changelog. # To read the complete changelog use `apt changelog apt`. Fetched 42.8 kB in 0s (0 B/s) $ Somehow apt fails to download the other 21 years of changelog entries, and performs the useless task of showing the truncated shipped changelog.
