apt (0.5.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
* Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)
* Patch from Otavio Salvador to have --version only print the version
(and not usage as well)
(Closes: #203418)
* Patch from Otavio Salvador to switch from dh_installmanpages to
dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the pt_BR man page was
installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
* Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
* Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
written by a single write(2)
* Add new French man pages to doc/fr/.cvsignore
* Add freebsd to buildlib/ostable (Closes: #193430)
* Avoid segfault if a package name is specified which consists
entirely of characters which look like end tags ('+', '-')
(Closes: #200425)
* Patch from Otavio Salvador to avoid listing suggests/recommends for
packages which are selected for installation at the same time as the
package which suggests/recommends them (Closes: #200102)
* Patch from Otavio Salvador to avoid listing suggests/recommends which
are Provided by a package which is already installed (Closes: #200395)

apt (0.5.8) unstable; urgency=medium
* urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
decidedly better than 0.5.4.
* Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)
(Closes: #177258)
* Updated French man pages from Philippe Batailler
<philippe.batailler@free.fr> (Closes: #182194)
* Give a warning if an illegal type abbreviation is used when looking up a
configuration item (Closes: #168453)
* Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
* Update config.guess and config.sub from autotools-dev 20030717.1
* Tweak SGML in apt-extracttemplates.1.sgml so that literal '>' doesn't end
up in output
* Document SrcDirectory in apt-ftparchive.1.sgml (Closes: #156370)
* Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
* Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
to have this problem
* Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
* Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
lots of stuff (perhaps an infinite amount) to read (Closes: #192228)
-- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jul 2003 20:21:53 -0400
apt (0.5.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Update control file to match overrides (apt priority important,
libapt-pkg-dev section libdevel)
* Silence the essential packages check if we are only downloading
archives and not changing the system (Closes: #190862)
* Skip version check if a build-dependency is provided by an installed package
(Closes: #126938)
* Have apt-cache show exit with an error if it cannot find any of the
specified packages (Closes: #101490)
-- Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org> Mon, 21 Jul 2003 23:43:24 -0400
