3 * apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of

5 later item in the or-expression. Fixed it.
6 * Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an

102 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

119 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
120 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
121 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
122 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
123 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
125 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
127 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
128 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
130 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
131 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
132 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3

138 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
139 password (Closes: #199425)

151 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
