Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
I’ve tried to use nmudiff on a package with a slightly weird previous
changelog entry:
transmission (2.52-3) unstable; urgency=high (fixes CVE-2012-4037)
Apparently this is valid, but nmudiff chokes on the double parenthesis.
Since dpkg-parsechangelog includes necessary options to parse previous
entries, I’m attaching a simple patch to just remove the manual parsing
and use dpkg-parsechangelog instead.
