Package: apt Version: 0.8.14.1 Severity: normal While updating the French translation of the apt package description, I just had a good laugh..:-)
"This is Debian's next generation front-end" It was next generation back in the 90's. I think that now APT can just be a front-end to dpkg. :-) Maybe a good opportunity to entirely review apt's debian/control file? And indeed a good illustration of why we should never use "next generation" or "new fancy foobar" in package descriptions..:-) -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # Sid deb ftp://kheops/pub/mirror/debian sid main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://kheops/pub/mirror/debian sid main contrib non-free deb-src ftp://kheops/pub/mirror/debian lenny main contrib non-free -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2010.08.28 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii gnupg 1.4.11-3 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.6.0-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.6.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime apt recommends no packages.
