Public bug reported: Release: 12.04
I pulled this package from the quantal repository to a precise installation but I believe this unusual configuration is not a factor in the following report. Version of the package: amavisd-new_2.7.1-2ubuntu2 Expected results: a NEWS.Debian.gz file containing all the latest information from upstream. Actual results: a NEWS.Debian.gz file which lacks the latest information from upstream. Explanation and steps to reproduce: $ dpkg-source -x amavisd-new_2.7.1-2ubuntu2.dsc Go into: amavisd-new-2.7.1/debian You'll find two "NEWS files": $ ls -l *NEWS* -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldd ldd 4232 Aug 29 13:07 amavisd-new.NEWS -rw-rw-r-- 1 ldd ldd 272 Aug 29 13:07 NEWS NEWS contains the latest news, but amavisd-news.NEWS is the file actually packaged. This is verifiable by building the package and looking at the /usr/share/doc/amavisd-new/NEWS.Debian.gz file included in the package. Its contents are those of amavisd-news.NEWS. The contents of NEWS are nowhere to be found. As pointed out in the following bug report, the NEWS file contains some useful information: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=671450 ** Affects: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043448 Title: incorrect NEWS file packaged To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+bug/1043448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
