Requesting approval for upload of aptitude 0.4.11.10-1lenny1 to testing-proposed-updates
Hello,
I'm later than I intended to be with this, but I have another upload
of aptitude targeted at lenny. Almost all the changes here are
translation- or documentation-related, with a few exceptions.
The translators might ask for another lenny upload, but I don't
expect to make any more code changes unless something major comes up.
aptitude (0.4.11.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Never remove an essential package from the curses UI without
asking the user first.
- Fix displaying the section description in non-UTF-8 locales.
(Closes: #483464)
- Many improvements to the documentation suggested by "jidanni".
(Closes: #497374, #497340, #496726, #471347, #496719, #496729,
#496732, #497333, #497336, #497726, #497969)
- Translation updates:
+ Brazilian Portuguese (Closes: #496613)
+ Czech (Closes: #497287)
+ Dutch (Closes: #497965)
+ Kurdish
+ Japanese (Closes: #494816)

Not attaching a debdiff because even bzip2'd, it's 600Kb (most of that
is changes to translations); the source changes are all in 0.4.11.10-1 (sid)
if you want to generate one yourself. The changes in the source directory,
by source file, are:
* A typo in the help for the command-line resolver prompt was fixed
(cmdline_resolver.cc).
* The search term ?task now works as documented (matchers.cc).
* aptitude always treats descriptions as if they are UTF-8, regardless
of the current locale (#483464).
* aptitude will now always warn before removing Essential packages. I
came across some odd corner cases where this didn't happen; the fix
I applied will warn the user twice in the event they really want to
remove an Essential package. If the other changes aren't applied, I
think this one should be backported to avoid breaking user's systems
without warning. (it should also be revisited post-lenny to remove
the double warning)
* The command-line prompts that ask the user to enter a particular
string (when untrusted packages are being installed or when the user
is removing an essential package -- have been changed so that they
always accept the English text (in case, e.g., the user's keyboard
makes it hard to enter the localized string).
