* Fix build with g++ 4.7 Thanks Adrian Lang for the patch (Closes: #672335) * New binary packages: - aptitude-doc-it: Italian documentation (Closes: #674664) - aptitude-common: data files and translations * debian/rules: - use dh (debhelper command sequencer) * Require libapt-pkg 0.9.3 to avoid "Method http has died unexpectedly" (Closes: #669322) * Removed preinst script, the one transition it handled is over ten years old. * New upstream release. - Update to tasks support: task packages, multi-arch, syntax
Task packages (introduced with tasksel 3.0) are meta-packages which define the dependencies of tasks. The packages themselves have always worked but the 'tasks' grouping policy and '?task' search term did not support them. This update corrects for this.
As a result of this change to tasksel all Debian tasks now function exactly like meta-packages. (Closes: #382631)
The syntax for installing tasks from the command line has been updated. It now supports specifying an arch and requires the same syntax as apt-utils ('^' must be the last part of the name). Examples:
This avoids ambiguity that may arise when a task and package have the same name. - Changelog downloading is restored (Closes: #669569, LP: #824708) - Exit with non-zero status when a package run is aborted.
