-TODO:
-- URL-Remap for the translation files (to hack around the problem that
-  they are not on any ftp server yet but only on http://ddtp.debian.org/)

-Here is the original announcement of the ddtp support:
-
-* To: debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org
-* Subject: Translate files
-* From: Michael Bramer <grisu@debian.org>

-Hello all
-
-After some discussion between Anthony Towns (a ftpmaster), Jason
-Gunthorpe (APT Developer) and some DDTP Coordinators we find a way to
-transfer the translated package descriptions from the archive to the
-user. 
-
-The translated descriptions need to be downloadable befor any
-installation process, like the other package meta information. We
-choose a new file per languages with all translated package
-descriptions. The package system can download one or more of this
-files at 'apt-get update' time and know the translations.
-
-The new files are names 'Translate-$lang' and the file have this
-rfc822-format:
-  Package: &lt;package-name&gt;
-  Description-md5: &lt;the md5 checksum of the english description&gt;
-  Description-$lang.$encoding: &lt;translated headline&gt;
-   &lt;translated section&gt;
-
-The encoding of the Description is 'UTF-8' in all languages normal.
-The files will be located at 'debian/dists/sid/main/i18n/' on the ftp
-server (for all architecture). In addition of the plain
-'Translate-$lang' file, there will be a 'gz' and a 'bz2' version and
-in future also the new incremental format version.
-
-The &lt;the md5 checksum of the english description&gt; is the md5 checksum
-of the full english description, without the 'Description: '-tag and
-with all spaces and newlines. Look at this example:
- Description: XXX
-  YYY
-  .
-  ZZZ
-is md5(&quot;XXX\n YYY\n .\n ZZZ\n&quot;) (perl-syntax).
-
-
-A future APT version will download one or some 'Translate-$lang'
-file(s) at 'update'-time. After this download it show a translated
-description instead of the english form, if it found a translated
-description of the package with the right md5 chechsum. The environment
-of the user will controlled this process (LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_MESSAGES,
-etc). With this the package system will never show a outdated
-translation.
-
-The translations come all from the DDTP. A daily process on
-ddtp.debian.org make new 'Translated-$lang' files and a script on
-ftp-master request this files and move this to the debian archive.
-Now the first files are accessible at
-       <a  href="http://ddtp.debian.org/pdesc/translatefiles/">http://ddtp.debian.org/pdesc/translatefiles/</a>
-
-If you found wrong translations, please read the guides on
-ddtp.debian.org, make a better translation and send this per mail to
-the DDTP server. Don't bug the package maintainer!
-
-Thanks
-Grisu

--- Real Problems
-#24000: Bug in apt Version: 0.0.17-1bo0
- Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source for a package
- Status: Require Status file. 
-#24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies
- Status: Requires dpkg modifications
-#25104: APT should retry failed downloads
- Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers
- Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
-         to control this desired behavoir.
-#25176: Problem with FTP/firewall
-#25458: Problem with FTP/firewall
- Summary: FTP method has no controls for firewalls
- Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
-         to control this desired behavoir.
- 
--- Fixed but unclosed things
-#25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are?
-#22507: apt: apt-get - listing packages to be upgraded (wishlist)
- Summary: Feature request 
- Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 via the -u option
-#21113: [Apt] In dselect, update dies and exits if the packages file is not found.
- Status: Fixed in 0.3.0
-#22675: APT does not honor the --admin-dir option
-#22836: Disk/Zip-Method for apt?
- Summary: APT does not provide a way to download packages onto a 
-          removable media for another computer
- Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point
-         that it is doable by using a separate configuration file and
-        the -c option
-#27601: srange errors from dselect
- Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source
- Status: Require status file
-         Believed to be fixed in 0.1.9, was not reproducible w/ given
-        status file
-#27841: apt: apt depends on a missing library
- Status: New versions of APT in slink have been compiled with libstdc++2.9
-#23984: apt: support for "no_proxy" would be nice
- Status: Planned to be integrated into the new methods via the configuration
-         file
-        Done - Use Acquire::http::proxy::host.com="DIRECT"
-#25021: apt: Need some control over multiple connections
- Status: Probable that 0.3.x will have support for configuing some
-         parameters
-        Done - Use Acquire::Queue-Mode="access"
-#25019: apt: Confusing progress report
- Summary: Gripes about the progress meter
- Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get. 
-         The GUI will naturally be better
-        I think the new progress meter address basically everyone's 
-        concerns.
-#25022: apt: Lack of feedback on date checking
- Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated
- Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design,
-         probably won't make the GUI either.
-        Wee, the new acquire code allows this, it now prints out 'Hit'
-#26019: apt may report wrong line speed
-#26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)
-#28778: apt: apt's fetched message is wrong for update of packages files
- Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its
-          calculations
- Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code
-         And it actually was fixed with the new acquire code
-#26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity
- Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash
-          Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least
- Status: I have no idea why.
-         Seems to be gone in .3, whatever it was...
-#25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed
- Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even 
-         though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in
-        0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be 
-        configurable..
-#28391: apt-get install without upgrading
- Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already
-          installed
- Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0
-        Try the --no-upgrade options
-#28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf
-#29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided.
- Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items,
-          ftp.conf is only one of them.
- Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0
-#24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
- Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect
- Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS environment variable will be created, -d can
-         be put there.
-        There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also 
-        appear..
-        Use Dselect::Options "-d" and others
-#29920: Wish for more verbosity on "has no installation candidate"
- Summary: More reports
- Status: Already fixed in .3
-#29382: apt: apt deletes packages after installation without any question
- Summary: Obvois.
- Status: Fixed in .3, use Dselect::Clean "prompt"
-#30027: apt: version comparison bug
- Summary: Version compare differs from dpkg
- Status: Fixed in all CVS versions.
-#30260: apt: wishlist: do not return to main menu without prompting for return
- Summary: Wants to prompt after dselect update
- Status: Fixed in v3, use dselect::promptafterupdate "true";
-#29441: documenting the codes for -s
- Summary: Apparently the simulation output is not immediately obvois
- Status: Someone should update the man page.
-#24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh
- Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long
- Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable
-         caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing
-        the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would
-        completely disable the cache which may not be desired.
-         APT now sends a max age header. See the apt.conf(5)
-#28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages
- Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package
- Status: I believe this reflects a deeper problem and the suggested solution
-         is only a band-aide patch. I intend to close this bug when #24685
-        is fixed with a configuration directive.
-        Use -o acquire::http::no-cache=true
-#29351: poor error message after conffile update
- Summary: APT errors when the package file is not found
- Status: The new APT warns better and the error is not fatal
-#30112: apt: internal error in apt
- Summary: APT gives an unclear error when it cannot correct dependencies
- Status: Error is clearer
-#30324: apt-get lying about file dates in /var/state/apt/lists
- Summary: Doesn't copy the file dates right with file URIs
- Status: Fixed in v3
-#30383: apt: dist-upgrade msg "E: Internal error, ScoredFix generated breaks."
- Summary: libc6 maddness causes bizzar problems
- Status: Fixed in v3 
-#29983: apt: Wrong diagnostic, could be better
- Summary: It doesn't explicy say you should be root
- Status: Fixed in v3
-#22892: Apt improvements
- Summary: Bails if an index file can't be found
- Status: Fixed in v3
-#28184: apt could be smarter regarding mirrors
- Summary: Make use of redundant sources
- Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored.
-#27646: Apt: dpkg --merge-avail
- Summary: Suggestion to call merge avail after each update operation
- Status: Unlikely. The dpkg --print-avail functions should be obsoleted
-         by the apt-query program which should be written.
-         Use the dselect script, alias or something.
-#26663: rsync file access
- Status: Unlikely, rsync does not provide the necessary support to be
-         a terribly good method. I do not intend any 'split mode' 
-        support (ie a way to get Package files via rsync and .debs
-        via http) 
-#27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
- Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
-         Honors the NotAutomatic flag
-#30643: base: apt-get update problems with http-/ftp-caches (i.e. squid)
- Status: Fixed as best I can. Try the Acquire::http::No-Cache option.
-
--- Silly things
-#26592: apt: Problems with ftpd in SunOS 5.6
-#29903: apt-get insists onto sending a SIZE command
- Summary: SunOS ftpd does not support the SIZE command
- Status: Probably not worth fixing
-#20723: Apt suggestion
- Summary: Package Grouping Mechanism
- Status: Who knows
-#22550: apt-get upgrade could configure packages earlier
- Status: Who knows
-#23934: apt-get source <package>
-#27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist)
- Status: Impossible to do without an index file for all source archives.
-#22551: apt: wish: use dist X iff pkg does not exist in dist Y
- Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
-#30237: apt: 0.1.9 checks dependencies against packages.gz
- Summary: For packages with identical version numbers APT prefers
-          to use the archive index files
- Status: Yes it is sorta bad, but there is no reasonable solution.
