507 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
508 an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
509 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
510 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an

512 * Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output
513 * Help apt-get build-dep produce more useful error messages

517 * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
518 correct build-depends. The primary exception is build-dependencies on
519 virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
520 discouraged for automated processing (but still common,

531 * Don't preserve ownership when copying config.guess and config.sub.
532 This broke builds where the clean target was run with different
533 privileges than the rest of the build (i.e., root) (Closes: #212183)
534 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
535 rather they always match what is in CVS.

603 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
604 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
605 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
606 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
607 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
608 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
609 written by a single write(2)

611 * Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
612 * Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
613 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')

616 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation
617 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them

623 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
624 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
625 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
626 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
627 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
629 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
631 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
632 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
634 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
635 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT

643 password (Closes: #199425)

645 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly

665 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
666 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
