Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.85.12
Severity: serious
apt-listchanges now needs a dependency on dpkg-dev. If you don't have
dpkg-dev installed, when apt-listchanges attempts to execute
dpkg-architecture it results in this traceback and error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 250, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 148, in main
(news, changelog, binnmu) = pkg.extract_changes(config.which, fromversion,
config.reverse)
File "/usr/share/apt-listchanges/DebianFiles.py", line 143, in extract_changes
arch = subprocess.check_output(['dpkg-architecture',
'-qDEB_HOST_ARCH']).rstrip()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 566, in check_output
process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, *popenargs, **kwargs)

errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1326, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Installing dpkg-dev solves the problem. So does downgrading to 2.85.11.
