Bug#951479: [files list file for package 'base-passwd' is missing final newline] [debian buster 10.3]
Package: python-apt
Version: 1.8.4.1
Dear maintainers,
It seems there is a dependency issue (?) when installing python-apt as
indicated in following trace. On previous Debian buster (10.2), this
issue does not exist.
