This is becoming a little annoying… this is a trixie setup, and both for today’s 6.12.35+deb13 and for last week’s 6.12.33+deb13 I got sent a multi-Mebibyte changes eMail. My bullseye systems don’t do that, they only include the changes for the latest upload (twice: once for src:linux for linux-libc-dev and once for the kernel image, which comes from the -signed package, but still only twice ONE changelog entry, not hundreds. I’m attaching today’s mail hoping you can figure out the regression.
It happened again today. I first did an apt-get upgrade because I wasn’t in the mood for a new kernel and wanted to get the remaining upgrades before startx, then did an apt-get dist-upgrade afterwards which brought me the new kernel/headers and firefox-esr, which had been updated in the meantime. This is… mildly annoying. bye, //mirabilos
I think I'm seeing something similar over here -- I took a couple months' worth of sid updates today, and it seems that for every package that had a NEWS item I should have seen, I was shown the entire NEWS for that package, rather than just the ones relevant for the set of versions I was jumping over/to. Most notably a whole pile of gnupg NEWS dating back 5+ years, but I think there were some other examples as well.
Today, again. Only the kernel changed.
Same here … This might be #1055780 reloaded. This bug was discovered and temporarily fixed during the rewrite of apt-listchanges in experimental but seems to have raised its ugly head again. Cheers, gregor
Hi, This happens to me all the time. I cleared apt-listchanges cache, twice, without success. Changes from kernel are not "marked as read". Is there any way to simply exclude a package in the meantime? Adrien
