560 pkgTagFile buffer size to (file size)+256. This is concealing a bug,

1006 * Spanish man pages, patch from Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>
1008 - apt.es.8 wasn't included in the patch, but was referenced. Fetched
1009 version 1.3 from debian-doc cvs
1010 - Create doc/es/.cvsignore
1011 * Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix
1012 pkgCache::PkgFileIterator::Label() to correctly refer to File->Label
1013 rather than File->Origin (Closes: #213311)

1016 * Add missing comma in apt_preferences(5) (Closes: #215362)
1017 * Fix whitespace in French translation of "Yes, do as I say!", which
1018 made it tricky to type. Thanks to Sylvain Pasche

1020 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the installed package
1021 doesn't meet version requirements (Closes: #214736)
1022 * Fix version display for recommends (Closes: #219900)
1023 * Use isatty rather than ttyname for checking if stdin is a terminal.
1024 isatty has the advantage of not requiring /proc under Linux, and thus
1026 * Correctly implement -n as a synonym for --names-only (Closes: #224515)
1027 * Update apt-cache(8)
1028 - Document --installed
1029 - --recursive applies to both depends and rdepends

1042 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
1043 an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
1044 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
1045 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an
1046 or-expression is not available
1047 * Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output

1049 * Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
1050 * Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
1052 * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
1053 correct build-depends. The primary exception is build-dependencies on
1054 virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
1055 discouraged for automated processing (but still common,

1065 * Move comment for ListParser::ParseDepends into the right place
1066 * Don't preserve ownership when copying config.guess and config.sub.
1067 This broke builds where the clean target was run with different
1068 privileges than the rest of the build (i.e., root) (Closes: #212183)
1069 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
1070 rather they always match what is in CVS.

1137 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
1138 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
1139 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
1140 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
1141 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
1142 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
1143 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
1144 written by a single write(2)
1145 * Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore

1148 entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')

1151 suggests/recommends for packages which are selected for installation

1157 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
1158 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1159 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1160 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1161 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1162 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1164 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1166 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1167 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
1169 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
1170 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1171 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1172 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1174 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1175 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)

1177 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1178 password (Closes: #199425)
1179 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1180 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1181 with our SGML man pages

1190 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1191 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1192 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

1198 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
1199 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
1200 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
1201 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
1202 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

1210 to have this problem
