The importance of this is not high, probably more a list of things to be tidied up next time somebody is in that vicinity. Problems fall under 2 categories, and some packages exhibit both these problems( though, usually when both problems occur, the incorrect changelog for is also the redundant one), and its probably tidier if they were addressed at the same time. 1. "# ChangeLog For $x" lines exist in the ChangeLog where "$x" is the name of a different package. Usually either the package has been renamed, or its category has changed. 2. Multiple lines of "# ChangeLog For" exist. I believe this is due to a bug in an older version of echangelog that no longer exists based on the timing of the commits either side of these redundant lines.

If this bug has been resolved please re-open for further reports
All fixed in CVS, thanks! (In reply to comment #0) > If these reports are unwanted, do tell me to stop =). I'm merely trying to make > the ChangeLog's meet some degree of consistency in that they can be sanely > parsed and regenerated. > Feel free to report further issues ;)
