Bug#154968: dpkg-genchanges -v cannot handle old style debian changelogs



Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.10.4
Severity: normal

I try to build a package with
| dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa -uc -us -v1.06.1+1.07beta1-patch2-0
but unfortunatly dpkg-genchanges' parsechangelog fails because it cannot
parse old style debian changelogs.

| dpkg-deb: building package `uucp' in `../uucp_1.06.1+1.07beta1-patch2-2_i386.deb'.
| dpkg-deb: building package `cu' in `../cu_1.06.1+1.07beta1-patch2-2_i386.deb'.
|  dpkg-genchanges -sa -v1.06.1+1.07beta1-patch2-0
| parsechangelog/debian: error: badly formatted heading line, at changelog line 235
| dpkg-genchanges: error: syntax error in parsed version of changelog at line 0: empty file

Line 235 is the first to not have a distribution and urgency:

| uucp (1.06.1-2)
|   Wed Oct 18 07:03:23 EDT 1995
|   * Modified HDB Dialers example to force command echo to ON.  Wrote up
|     comments for this file.
| 
| uucp (1.06.1-1)
|   * Upgraded to current version if taylor-uucp.

					yours,
