debuild says no to DEB changelog because of a spurious whitespace #27

Closed weakcamel closed 6 years ago

weakcamel commented 6 years ago

The template needs to be tweaked to leave 2 spaces instead of 3 before the release date. Failure to do so results in:

Apparently the syntax example - when taken literally - is illegal

package (version) distribution(s); urgency=urgency
  [optional blank line(s), stripped]
  * change details
  more change details
  [blank line(s), included in output of dpkg-parsechangelog]
  * even more change details
  [optional blank line(s), stripped]
-- maintainer name <email address>[two spaces]  date
