1 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
3 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
4 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
5 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
6 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
7 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)

12 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
13 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
14 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
15 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
16 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

22 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
23 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
25 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
26 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
27 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
