Changelog
apt-listbugs (0.1.14) unstable; urgency=medium
* fixed "please don't break apt on failures": when ruby-debian binary
library fails to load, suggest a possible way to fix things up
and then exit with error (Closes: #747487)
* simplified use of dpkg-parsechangelog in various places
* made the --force-pin option the new fallback mode for all cases
where standard output is not a tty (this implies that unattended
installations/upgrades will automatically pin buggy packages!)
* enhanced internationalization of error and warning messages
* enhanced error handling (also catch Errno::EBADF in apt mode)
* added a dependency on ruby-unicode to correctly compute the width
of asterisk headers and of output to be updated
* fixed "Please provide a way to stop the querying of bug reports when
there are a lot of them.": it is now possible to make apt-listbugs
exit immediately (and successfully) by sending it a SIGUSR1, for
instance with the command "killall -USR1 apt-listbugs" (Closes: #273565)
* added a warning about pinning: when /etc/apt/preferences cannot be
written to, apt-listbugs warns the user, rather than crashing
* enhanced aptcleanup:
- added file access error handling for cases where /etc/apt/preferences
does not exist or is not readable
- clarified one debug message
- internationalized non-debug messages
* improved detection of previous pins when pinning buggy packages
* fixed "manually ignored bugs should have a comment, too": a comment line
is now added in a way similar to the line added for automatically ignored
bugs (Closes: #484423)
* updated Danish translation, thanks to Joe Dalton! (Closes: #754131)
* fixed "faster method to select bugs": bugs are now also assigned short
identifiers of the form "b<id>" (Closes: #532678)
* re-upgraded the recommendation of ruby-xmlparser to a dependency, since,
without it, apt-listbugs is really slow when retrieving large numbers of
bugs
* improved HTML bug lists (charset is now also declared in a meta http-equiv
statement, in order to enhance portability of the generated HTML page)
* fixed "Please support writing APT pinning to /etc/apt/preferences.d/":
package pins are now stored in /etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-listbugs;
see the NEWS file, in case you need to downgrade to a previous version
(Closes: #719988)
