[Bug 839378] Re: Regression: apt-listchanges always sends changelogs

[snafu109]

Fix attached.

The problem is that there is an Ubuntu patch which falls back to
downloading changelogs for every package when the script doesn't find
any changelogs in the binary package. Due to faulty logic this always
occurs when "which=news".

This patch changes behaviour so the fallback only triggers when
"which=changelogs" or "which=both".

** Patch added: "correct-changelogs-fallback-logic.patch"

Title:
  Regression: apt-listchanges always sends changelogs

Status in “apt-listchanges” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 apt-listchanges is displaying the
  changes of every updated package when running "apt-get dist-upgrade".
  However I have set "which=news" in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf (which is
  also the default value). In earlier versions of Ubuntu this setting
  worked as expected and apt-listchanges was only displaying new entries
  in NEWS.Debian and not in changelog.Debian.
