Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.29
I am getting a generic IndexError when I try to parse the attached
changelog using the attached reproducer script. I would expect a more
specific exception from python-debian. Dpkg-parsechangelog is able to
identify that the trailer line is badly formatted. (The issue is that
there is only a single space between the email address and the
timestamp).
Using the attached changelog with dpkg-parsechangelog, I get the following
results:
$ dpkg-parsechangelog
dpkg-parsechangelog: warning: debian/changelog(l5): badly formatted trailer
