Package: apt
Version: 0.5.2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
After installing 0.5.2 (all was well with 0.5.0), some of the options in
apt.conf and apt.conf.d/* seem to be ignored (most notably, debconf and
apt-listchanges' DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs entries, but other things as well).
This appears to already be fixed in CVS, but it could break things unexpectedly
for many users, so I am reporting it here to publish the fix.
This patch from apt CVS seems to fix the problem:
