Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6+deb7u2
Severity: minor
When dch is processing the output of dpkg-parsechangelog, it barfs if
the line introducing the Changes field does not have a trailing space
after the colon.
To reproduce: put the attached script as "dpkg-parsechangelog"
somewhere on your path, and run dch. For example, in a test repo I
have, the invocation
dch -v1.1 --distribution unstable 'Commit a forbidden thing'
produces this message:
dch: fatal error at line 641:
Don't understand dpkg-parsechangelog output: Changes:
But if at line 27 of my script I add a single trailing space, all is
well.
I don't think this bug is of any immediate practical relevance to most
people, and I can easily work around it. But it would probably be
worth fixing in case dpkg-source ever changes the output format.
Thanks,
Ian.

We're now using libdpkg-perl to do this parsing instead of performing it
manually, so this is fixed.
