Bug#439866: apt: changelog lies about --install-recommends
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.6
Severity: normal
Please document that apt in etch does not support
'--install-recommends'. Also, Changelog in sid is misleading in this
respect.
When I look at the changelog in 'etch' system.
apt (0.6.46.1) unstable; urgency=low
* methods/gzip.cc:
- deal with empty files
* Applied patch from Daniel Schepler to make apt bin-NMU able.
(closes: bug#359634)
* rebuild against current g++ because of:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29289
(closes: #390189)
* fix broken i18n in the dpkg progress reporting, thanks to
Frans Pop and Steinar Gunderson. (closes: #389261)
* Merged from Christian Perrier bzr branch:
* fi.po: Updated to 514t. Closes: #390149
* eu.po: Updated to 514t. Closes: #389725
* vi.po: Updated to 514t. Closes: #388555
* make the internal buffer in pkgTagFile grow dynamically
(closes: #388708)
