Package: apt Version: 1.3~rc3 Severity: important Hi,
This is what happens when I'm trying to upgrade a Debian Sid which I haven't updated for a few weeks: ~~~~~ $ apt-get install apt Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: apt-utils Suggested packages: apt-doc powermgmt-base python-apt The following packages will be upgraded: apt apt-utils 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 119 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/1580 kB of archives. After this operation, 180 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?
