Package: apt
Version: 0.5.9
Around 0.5.5 apt introduced that the tilde character compares to be less
than anything else (including the end of the string), e.g.
3.0~rc1-1 < 3.0-1. This is also the way dpkg compares version strings.
In apt 0.5.9 it seems to be gone/broken, it believes 3.0~rc1-1 is newer
than 3.0-1.

Description:
apt - Advanced front-end for dpkg

Closes: 205960 207690 208302
Changes:
apt (0.5.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Updated pt_BR translations from Andre Luis Lopes <andrelop@debian.org>
(Closes: #208302)
* In apt.conf(5), give the fully qualified name of Dir::Bin::Methods,
rather than just "methods"
* Add new nb and nn translations from Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>
* Clean up reportbug script a bit, and extend it to distinguish between a
configuration file not existing and the user declining to submit it with
the report
* Add #include <langinfo.h> to cmdline/apt-get.cc. This apparently gets
pulled in by something else with recent g++ and/or glibc, but is
required when building on, e.g., stable
* Patch from Koblinger Egmont <egmont@uhulinux.hu> to fix version
comparisons with '~' (Closes: #205960)
* Disable Russian translation until someone can review it
(Closes: #207690)
