485 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
486 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
487 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
488 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
489 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
490 written by a single write(2)
491 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
492 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)

494 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
496 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
497 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
498 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
500 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
501 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already

503 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
504 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
505 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
506 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
507 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
508 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
510 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
512 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
513 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
515 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
516 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
517 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
518 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
520 - echo 3 > debian/compat
521 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
522 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
523 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
524 password (Closes: #199425)
525 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
526 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
527 with our SGML man pages
528 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
529 fragments are properly substituted

533 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
535 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
536 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
