      * Resynchronise with Debian to pick up multi-arch fixes (LP: #831768).

        - 04_changelog: Take changelogs from changelogs.ubuntu.com.
        - 14_html2text_preferred: Switch back to html2text in favor of elinks,

    aptitude (0.6.8-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix build with g++ 4.7
        Thanks Adrian Lang for the patch (Closes: #672335)
      * New binary packages:
        - aptitude-doc-it: Italian documentation (Closes: #674664)
        - aptitude-common: data files and translations
      * debian/rules:
        - use dh (debhelper command sequencer)
      * Require libapt-pkg 0.9.3 to avoid "Method http has died
        unexpectedly" (Closes: #669322)
      * Removed preinst script, the one transition it handled is
        over ten years old.
      * New upstream release.
        - Update to tasks support: task packages, multi-arch, syntax
    
          Task packages (introduced with tasksel 3.0) are
          meta-packages which define the dependencies of tasks.  The
          packages themselves have always worked but the 'tasks'
          grouping policy and '?task' search term did not support
          them.  This update corrects for this.
    
          As a result of this change to tasksel all Debian tasks now
          function exactly like meta-packages. (Closes: #382631)
    
          The syntax for installing tasks from the command line has
          been updated.  It now supports specifying an arch and
          requires the same syntax as apt-utils ('^' must be the last
          part of the name).  Examples:
    
            # aptitude install gnome-desktop^
            # aptitude install ssh-server^:armel
    
          This avoids ambiguity that may arise when a task and
          package have the same name.
        - Changelog downloading is restored
          (Closes: #669569, LP: #824708)
        - Exit with non-zero status when a package run is
          aborted. (Closes: #293008)
        - Restore candidate version on undo, keep
          (Closes: #529403)
        - Adjust default widths of localized columns:
          broken_count, downloadsize (Closes: #674045)
        - Update package views after 'Cancel pending actions'
          (Closes: #595753)
        - Fix minor errors in documentation. Thanks to Beatrice Torracca
          (Closes: #674675)
        - Fix groff warning in manpage (Closes: #675085)
        - Translation updates:
          + French (Closes: #673827, LP: #642840)
          + German (Closes: #672467, #668875)
          + Simplified Chinese
    
    aptitude (0.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Fix FTBFS in sid: include build of gtest when building gmock
       (Closes: #670403, #671439)
    
      * New upstream release.
    
        - Avoid dpkg and infinite loop in download-only mode
          (Closes: #629266, LP: #975793)
    
        - Check for apt_init errors in cmdline_download.cc (Closes: #670379)
    
        - Downloading/installing now locks /var/cache/apt/archives
          (Closes: #370381)
    
        - Actually use aptitude::Logging::Levels (Closes: #654344)
    
        - No longer use ListUpdate (from libapt-pkg) to update package lists.
          Instead, restore the previous code and update it to include the
          semantics from ListUpdate which were missing.
    
          ListUpdate was too coarse to suit download_update_manager properly
          even though it more-or-less worked.
    
        - Do not call debtags on list update.  This was a rather unsightly
          kludge is better suited as a script for APT::Update::Post-Invoke.
    
        - Use arch-qualified names in 'Provided by' for virtual packages
          (LP: #972847)
    
        - Preview screen ignores Pkg-Display-Limit
    
          Previously it would apply that limit if UI::Preview-Limit was not
          set.  This was causing confusion and it is more useful to have these
          as two clearly distinct settings. (LP: #381507)
    
        - New translations:
    
          + Croatian (Closes: #667934)
    
      * Use export to really enable build hardening, etc.
    
      * debian/control: remove traces of aptitude-gtk:
        - aptitude: description
        - aptitude-dbg: build-depends

          universe.

          packages instead).  Thanks to 'Rogier' for the patch (Closes: #603862)
    
        - List update errors are reported. (Closes: #451137)

          + '[auto]clean' locks /var/cache/apt/archives;
          + 'update' locks /var/lib/apt/lists; (Closes: #653479)
    
        - Fix 'priority' cost level in resolver.  The values should
          have been negated but were not.  Thanks to Modestas Vainius
          for this one. (Closes: #608786)
    
        - Fix some help and prompt strings which wrongly included
          localized names for commands such as 'why'.  (Closes: #486615)
    
        - Change ordering of top-level sections to match the order

      * No longer supplying aptitude-gtk.  It can still be compiled from the
        source but this was an experimental interface that was never finished.
    
        Anyone interested in continuing either of the GTK+ or Qt interfaces
        should contact the mailing list:
    
        http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
    
        - Dropped Build-Depends: needed only for aptitude-gtk.

      * Add empty build-arch, build-indep targets. (Closes: #648490)
    
      * Extend aptitude-doc-* packages to include a more complete description
        of the program.
    
      * Update README.Debian with details of Git repository.
