1024 rather than just "methods"
1025 * Add new nb and nn translations from Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>

1027 configuration file not existing and the user declining to submit it with

1030 pulled in by something else with recent g++ and/or glibc, but is
1031 required when building on, e.g., stable
1032 * Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix version
1033 comparisons with '~' (Closes: #205960)
1034 * Disable Russian translation until someone can review it

1041 * Correct the section in apt_preferences(5) on interpreting priorities
1042 to show that zero is not a valid priority, and print a warning if such
1043 a pin is encountered in the preferences file (Closes: #204971)

1045 * Get self-tests compiling again, updated for latest library API
1047 * Add version comparison tests for #194327 and #205960
1048 * Fix error message in version test to output versions in the order in
1049 which they were compared when the reverse comparison fails
1050 * Reference the source package bug page rather than the one for the
1051 binary package 'apt' in the man pages (Closes: #205290)
1052 * Updated Polish po file from Marcin Owsiany <porridge@debian.org>
1054 * Mention some of the available frontends in apt-get(8) (Closes: #205829)

1059 messages to be consistent and somewhat shorter (some translations
1060 exceeded 80 characters even in the simplest case)

1067 apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
1069 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to
1070 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
1071 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
1072 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
1073 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to have --version
1074 only print the version (and not usage as well) (Closes: #203418)
1075 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
1076 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
1077 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
1078 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
1079 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
1080 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
1081 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
1082 written by a single write(2)
1083 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
1084 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
1085 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
1086 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
1088 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
1089 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
1090 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them
1092 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to avoid listing
1093 suggests/recommends which are Provided by a package which is already
1094 installed (Closes: #200395)
1095 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
1096 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1097 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1098 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1099 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1100 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1102 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1104 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1105 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
1107 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
1108 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1109 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1110 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1112 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1113 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
1114 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
1115 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1116 password (Closes: #199425)
1117 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1118 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1119 with our SGML man pages
1120 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
1121 fragments are properly substituted

1125 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
1127 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1128 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1129 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1130 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
1131 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)
1133 * Updated French man pages from Philippe Batailler
1134 <philippe.batailler@free.fr> (Closes: #182194)
1135 * Give a warning if an illegal type abbreviation is used when looking up a
1136 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
1137 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
1138 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
1139 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
1140 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
1141 * Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20030717.1
1142 * Tweak SGML in apt-extracttemplates.1.sgml so that literal '>' doesn't end
1144 * Document SrcDirectory in apt-ftparchive.1.sgml (Closes: #156370)
1145 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
1146 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
1147 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
1148 to have this problem
1149 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
1150 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
1151 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)

1158 libapt-pkg-dev section libdevel)

1160 archives and not changing the system (Closes: #190862)
1161 * Skip version check if a build-dependency is provided by an installed package

1224 dependent build dependencies. Bump minor shared lib number to reflect
1225 small change in BuildDepend API.
