Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.61
Severity: normal

exim4-base, exim4-config, exim4-daemon-light and exim4-daemon-heavy
are all built from the exim4 source package, but they have different
NEWS.Debian files. This is to honor the fact that you can run exim4
without exim4-config and wouldn't be interested in NEWS.Debian entries
that only belong to exim4-config, and that you are not interested in
NEWS.Debian entries that only concern exim4-daemon-heavy if you're in
fact running the light daemon.

apt-listchanges mishandles this case and doesn't display all
NEWS.Debian entries. It should match NEWS.Debian files with a
fingerprint (like md5sum) and not silently assume that all binary
packages that are built from the same source have the same NEWS.Debian.

Greetings
Marc

Description:
 apt-listchanges - package change history notification tool
Closes: 383803 478188 514865 748631 760918 880142 981890 1020858 1023084 1028474 1033903 1034197 1034241 1052569 1052986
Changes:
 apt-listchanges (4.0) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * New maintainer. (Closes: #981890)
   * Overhaul how apt-listchanges determines which changelog and NEWS
     entries to display to users.
     (Closes: #478188, #748631, #760918, #1020858, #1023084, #1052986)
   * Don't flash Gtk frontend window briefly without displaying anything.
     (Closes: #514865)
   * Allow Gtk frontend window to start hidden with `--hide' command-line
     option or `hide' config setting.
   * Flash or badge the Gtk frontend taskbar icon when content is ready in
     the window.
   * Fix broken `--filter' command-line option / `filter' configuration
     file setting. It previously caused the program to crash when used.
     (Closes: #1052569)
   * Fix man page to no longer falsely state that `--latest' can only be
     used with a single .deb file. In fact `--latest' works fine with
     multiple .deb files.
   * Don't assume that all binary packages from the same source have the
     same changelog and news entries, thereby potentially failing to
     display some messages to the user. (Closes: #383803)
   * Flush output before prompting for install confirmation. Thanks to
     Timon Reinold. (Closes: #1028474)
   * Add a blank line after the "--- Changes for .. ---" headers to make
     them stand out a bit more. (Closes: #880142)
   * Dutch translation of the man page. Thanks to Frans Spiesschaert.
     (Closes: #1033903)
   * Romanian translation of the program. Thanks to Remus-Gabriel Chelu.
     (Closes: #1034197, #1034241)
   * Install Python files required by the application in the standard
     location rather than a custom location, and use the standard Debian
     mechanism for packaging a Debian package rather than custom packaging.
   * Remove APT_HOOK_INFO_FD backward compatibility code that was obsolete
     as of Debian 10.
   * Fix some errant debug messages that were being printed even when
     `--debug' wasn't specified.
   * Code cleanup and improvement, including `flake8' and `pylint'
     compatibility, (some) unit tests, and adherence to newer standards and
     best practices.
   * Remove TODO from /usr/share/doc/apt-listchanges since it's out-of-date
     and unlikely to be useful to anyone.
