        does not cause the dialog/prompt to stop working (Closes: #607118)
      * [cmdline] Warn when package cannot be marked/unmarked auto
        (Closes: #498240)
      * Install signal handlers and do clean-up when terminating abruptly

aptitude (0.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
    - Bug fixes:
      * Fix for wrong reported size of deleted files with 'autoclean' on
        32-bit arches (Closes: #499872)
      * Be explicit when packages are already installed, cannot be
        removed/purged because they are not installed, and similar
        (Closes: #421469).
      * Check string formats for columns in both curses and command line
        interface, and forbid characters which can lead to cwidget
        assertions and program crashes.  (Closes: #497129, #532662).
    - Documentation:
      * Quick help (help.txt):
        * Document 'l' (Limit Display) in quick help (Closes: #514541)
        * Improve description of '_' (Purge) (Closes: #495326)
        * Improve the description of the search shortcut, and point more
          clearly to search patterns in the full documentation
      * man page:
        * Fix example of '-F' with current and candidate versions
          (Closes: #752517)
      * Guide/User's Manual:
        * Upgrade doc/??/aptitude.xml documents from DocBook XML 4.2 to
          4.5
        * Use XHTML 1.0 rather than HTML 4.01, at least to have something
          from this decade/century.  The resulting documentation still
          does not fully validate (see #496724), I think that due to
          bugs/problems of docbook-xsl conversions using invalid elements in
          the different standards (tried HTML 4.0, 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and 1.1).
        * Generate 'alt' tag for images in HTML documentation (see #496724)
        * In "Customizing the package list", fix order of variables
          ::UI::Package-Status-Format and ::UI::Package-Header-Format and
          their explanations
    - User visible changes:
      * Slightly change description of shortcut 'g' in title bar
        (Closes: #247487)
    - Internal changes:
      * search_graph.h, fix problem with code which was working for many
        years (with boost 1.55 and many versions before), but now the
        straightforward option to convert boost::optional to bool does not
        work with gcc-5.2 and boost-1.58, so use .is_initialized() instead.
      * solution_item.cc, copy string of package name coming from libapt
        because it does not guarantee that the string is valid for all of the
        time span that we need it, to not show garbage that it happens
        sometimes (Closes: #795150, #795028)
      * match.cc, pkg_info_screen.cc, reason_fragment.cc: remove and
        modify code relying on pkg.Section() (from apt PkgIterator), it is
        deprecated code and it will get removed soon according to the apt team
        (Versions have Sections, Package in abstract doesn't have unique
        Sections)
      * aptitude_resolver.cc: use std::unique_ptr instead of deprecated
        SPtrArray
      * Add compatibility for APT 1.1:
        * Create DepIterator values from Dependency pointers on-the-fly,
          where required
        * Adjust AcqQueuedFile() for changed signatures of overriden
          methods
      * Improving C++11 compatibility mode:
        * Convert std::auto_ptr (deprecated in C++11) to unique_ptr
        * Convert boost::scoped_ptr (deprecated in C++11) to std::unique_ptr
        * Convert instances of boost::shared_ptr, make_shared, and
          weak_ptr to be explicitly prefixed by boost::, otherwise they clash
          or have problems compiling with the new C++11 std::shared_ptr and
          analogues (many were not converted in the previous version).
      * Remove unused function serialize_pattern_list()
      * Remove unused function wcsempty()
      * Improvements of the autoconf/automake infrastructure.
       * No more generate a dummy ChangeLog file just to please automake.
       * Clean up some more leftover files in "make maintainer-clean"
       * Use 'cp -u' when copying gtest and gmock, so they don't need to be
         recompiled every time
    - Translation updates:
      * Swedish by Josef Andersson (Closes: #792911)
      * Fix typos/syntax oddities and translation issues, thanks Jens Seidel
       (Closes: #381702)

    - 05-cherry-pick-3593bdcb.patch
    - 10-cherry-pick-2a5a8b25.patch
