Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.46
Severity: minor

Hi,

When using debchange on a host where my uid has an empty gecos field (that 
is, /etc/passwd contains this):
thijs:x:1000:1000::/home/thijs:/bin/bash

I get the following warning:

| dch warning: passwd full name field for uid 1000
| is not UTF-8 encoded; ignoring
| dch: Did you see that warning?  Press RETURN to continue...

You could argue for or against the empty string being UTF-8 encoded, but I 
guess triggering on an empty gecos wasn't the intention of the warning..


cheers,
Thijs

     libwww-perl aren't installed.
   * debdiff:
     + Don't treat an absence of differences as an error when comparing
       source packages. (Closes: #515683)
     + Set the exit status correctly when comparing source packages.  If
       differences were found, debdiff will now exit with a status of 1, as
       per debdiff(1).
     + Support bzip2 and lzma compressed orig tarballs. (Closes: #473969)
   * debuild: Support bzip2 and lzma compressed orig tarballs.
     (Closes: #473974)
   * licensecheck:
     + Document --no-conf.
     + Fix an uninitialised variable warning when --no-conf is used. Thanks.
       Cristian Greco. (Closes: #515047)
   * nmudiff:
     + Rework the arguments passed to mutt in order to avoid problems
       attaching the diff with recent versions of mutt.  Thanks, Adeodato
       Simó. (Closes: #518127)
     + Allow the specification of a particular DELAYED queue, rather
       than including the "DELAYED/XX" placeholder.  May be specified as
       0 to remove mention of DELAYED. (Closes: #518126)
   * rc-alert: Modify the description of the "I" flag to reference the
     squeeze-ignore tag rather than etch-ignore.
   * debian/control, README: Add liburi-perl to the description of dcontrol.
 .
   [ James Vega ]
   * bts: Include the module name when calling MIME::Base64::encode_base64
     since MIME::Base64 is only being 'require'd not 'use'd.  Thanks Євгеній
     Мещеряков. (Closes: #516117)
   * debchange: Do not use an empty gecos field when trying to determine the
     maintainer's name. (Closes: 516423)
