Package: apt

Version: 3.0.3

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've been using Debian Testing for the past 15 years or so, and every time a stable version is released, I get an error when I do `apt-get update`.

The error points to the apt-secure(8), which mentions a lot of stuff, but doesn't offer the simpler solution:

apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

Since a release happens every two years, the use of the flag is so infrequent that I forget it exists. So I go to the manpage, read it from top to bottom, and then I google the actual solution.

It would be better if the simpler fix were included in that manpage.

And also, (on a possibly unrelated note), lately the reportbug utility seems to ignore APT's priorities, and actually suggests installing packages from "experimental" before reporting any bug, stating that they are simply "outdated".

John M.
