Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.16.6 Severity: normal Somewhere in the bowels of the perl code, dpkg-parsechangelog is calling 'tail' without an absolute pathname. The 'tail' on my $PATH is not option-for-option compatible with GNU tail, and failure results. The perl code should be modified to call /usr/bin/tail. (The bad call is not in the script itself, and I don't know enough perl to find the module in which it may be lurking.)
