Changelog
aptitude (0.5.9rc3-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- On the command-line, package versions can be chosen by codename
(Closes: #547707).
- Switch back from dpkg-parsechangelog to parsechangelog; they both
require an external dependency and parsechangelog is faster
(Closes: #546280).
- Don't crash if the Xapian database fails to load (Closes: #512998).
- Recognize --no-gui in all builds, not just aptitude-gtk.
(Closes: #546406)
- Don't discard errors after dpkg fails (Closes: #548879, #548889).
- Block SIGWINCH by default so nothing interferes with cwidget
catching it. (Closes: #547212)
- Mention build-dep in "aptitude help" (Closes: #547151).
- Make --arch-only behave correctly (Closes: #547266).
- Make the "hold" command in the GTK+ interface hold packages
instead of deleting them (Closes: #549897).
- Mention Get-Root-Command in the manual when it describes
auto-switching-to-root. (Closes: #548657)
- Fix the default value of Get-Root-Command in the manual so it
matches the actual code. (Closes: #550057)
- Translation updates:
+ Danish (Closes: #546497)
+ French
+ Portuguese
+ Russian (Closes: #535806)

* Remove the calls to update-apt-xapian-index in the postinsts
