Bug#986840: apt-listchanges fails to parse status files with ^M characters; should use apt_pkg.TagFile, not write its own parser
Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 3.23
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jak@debian.org
As reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-listchanges/+bug/1854772, apt-listchanges
fails to parse status files that contain carriage return characters, as
Python normalizes the line endings.
Instead of writing its own ad-hoc parser, apt-listchanges should use
apt_pkg.TagFile instead.
