Research direction
The issue is that the DEB package for runsc is missing a changelog file, causing `apt get changelog` to fail. To fix, examine the packaging scripts in the repository (likely under a `debian/` directory or a packaging tool). Add a changelog entry using standard Debian tools like `debchange` or manually create the file. Ensure the changelog follows Debian format and is included in the package build. Check the repository's build instructions for any automated changelog generation.
