210 than sometimes changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH directly

494 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
496 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
497 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
498 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
499 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

518 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
519 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
