Bug#798663: gsm0710muxd: Illegal changelog date format



Package: gsm0710muxd
Version: 1.13-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.4
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs
Tags: patch

Hi,

The previous debian/changelog entry has a date of:

  Tue, 23 June 2009 10:08:51 +0000

However, Policy section 4.4 tells us that "month is one of: Jan, Feb,
Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec".

This is important in a practical sense since dpkg-dev 1.18.2, date
parsing is stricter and thus dpkg-parsechangelog, dpkg-genchanges (etc.)
fail to process the file, ending in a FTBFS when genchanges is called to
parse the file.

Simply s/June/Jun/ fixes this; patch attached for clarity.


Regards,
