'deb-src security.debian.org' one. (Closes: #411298)
* apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.cc:
- Added instruction how to work around MMap error in MMap error message.
(Closes: #385674, 436028)
* buildlib/config.{sub,guess}:
- Renewed. This fixes lintian errors.
* doc/apt.conf.5.xml, debian/apt-transport-https:
- Documented briefly 'APT::https' group of options. (Closes: #507398)
- Applied patch from Daniel Burrows to document 'Debug' group of options.
(Closes: #457265)
- Mentioned 'APT::Periodic' and 'APT::Archives' groups of options.
(Closes: #438559)
- Mentioned '/* ... */' comments. (Closes: #507601)
* merged "install-recommends" branch (ABI break):
- new "--install-recommends"
- install new recommends on "upgrade" if --install-recommends is
given
- new "--fix-policy" option to install all packages with unmet
important dependencies (usefull with --install-recommends to
see what not-installed recommends are on the system)
- fix of recommended packages display (only show CandidateVersion
fix or-group handling)
* merged "install-task" branch (use with "apt-get install taskname^")
