1020 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
1021 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1022 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1023 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1024 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1025 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1027 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1029 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1030 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
1032 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
1033 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1034 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1035 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1037 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1038 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
1039 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
1040 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1041 password (Closes: #199425)
1042 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1043 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1044 with our SGML man pages
1045 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
1046 fragments are properly substituted

1050 apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
1052 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1053 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1054 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1055 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
1056 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)

1063 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
1064 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
1065 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

1070 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
1071 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
1072 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
1073 to have this problem
1074 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
1075 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
1076 lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
