Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

  The first time the lenny version of aptitude is run, it will read in
its list of automatically installed packages and convert it for use
with the lenny version of apt (which can handle automatically-installed
information).  But it was pointed out to me that some users might want
to start using apt-get after they upgrade, and they'd wonder where their
automatic flags went.

  The easiest way to do the conversion is the undocumented command

    aptitude nop

  as root, which will exit immediately after converting the cache.  But
if you want to stick to documented stuff, any other NOP will work fine,
like running (as root)

    aptitude search "?false"

  or even just starting the program as root with no arguments and
immediately exiting.

Closing Lenny release-notes pending bugs, since the relevant patches have been
commited to SVN trunk and are published on line at
http://debian.org/releases/lenny/releasenotes

Sorry for the mass mail.
