Comment 7 for bug 922485

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu1

---------------
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * merge from debian/experimental:
    - new ABI

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * apt-pkg/algorithms.cc: iterate Breaks the same way as Conflicts, so that
    we resolve virtual package Breaks more effectively. Thanks to Colin
    Watson for the patch. Closes: #657695, LP: #922485.
  * apt-pkg/algorithms.{cc,h}: use an int to represent resolver scores, not
    a signed short, because large upgrades can result in an overflow for
    core packages. Thanks again to Colin Watson. Closes: #657732,
    LP: #917173.
  * Multi-Arch: none build-deps should be DEB_HOST_ARCH, not DEB_BUILD_ARCH.
    Closes: #646288.

apt (0.8.16~exp12) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - fix segfault on pkg removal

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/cacheiterators.h:
    - return the correct version arch for all+foreign, too
  * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
    - ignore breaks on not-installed versions while searching for
      breakage loops as we don't have to avoid them
  * debian/control:
    - remove APT from the short descriptions as lintian doesn't like it
      and it doesn't transport any information for a reader anyway
    - apply typofixes by Pascal De Vuyst, thanks! (Closes: #652834, #652835)
  * debian/rules:
    - apply patch to enable usage of hardning CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS by
      Moritz Muehlenhoff, thanks! (Closes: #653504)
  * methods/https.cc:
    - use curls list append instead of appending Range and If-Range by hand
      which generates malformed requests, thanks Mel Collins for the hint!
      (Closes: #646381)
  * test/libapt/run-tests:
    - hurd doesn't have dmesg yet and we don't really need it either,
      so use with $0 a more stable data source for hashsumming

  [ Pino Toscano ]
  * test/libapt/globalerror_test.cc:
    - errno 0 has a different strerror on hurd, so generate the expected
      message dynamically instead of hardcoding 'Success' (Closes: #656530)

apt (0.8.16~exp11) experimental; urgency=low

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - redirect out/input of dpkg --assert-multi-arch to /dev/null
    - if multi-arch is detected ensure that pkg:all is reported as pkg:all

apt (0.8.16~exp10) experimental; urgency=low

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/depcache.cc:
    - implicit conflicts (for multiarch) are supposed to conflict
      only with real packages, not with virtual providers
  * apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:
    - ignore implicit conflicts on providers in AllTarget, too
  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - check if dpkg supports multiarch with --assert-multi-arch
      and if it does be always explicit about the architecture
  * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.h:
    - store the offset in the internal fd before calculate size of
      the zlib-handled file to jump back to this place again

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.h:
    - fix segfault triggered by the python-apt testsuite

apt (0.8.16~exp9) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * apt-pkg/cdrom.cc:
    - Accept .bz2, .xz files in addition to .gz files (Closes: #649451)

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * apt-pkg/cdrom.cc:
    - use aptconfiguration to get the supported compression types
  * debian/control:
    - bump debhelper build-dep to debhelper (>= 8.1.3~)
    - set libapt-pkg-dev to multi-arch: same too
  * g++ 4.7 fixes

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Convert libapt-pkg4.12 and libapt-inst1.4 to Multi-Arch: same.

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/cacheset.cc:
    - make the cachesets real containers which can embedding any container
      to be able to use the same interface regardless of set or list usage
    - provide a {Package,Version}List similar to {Package,Version}Set
  * cmdline/apt-{get,cache,mark}.cc:
    - use Lists instead of Sets if input order should be preserved for
      commands accepting lists of packages, e.g. policy (Closes: #625960)
  * apt-pkg/depcache.cc:
    - prefer native providers over foreigns even if the chain is foreign.
      LP: #850264.
  * cmdline/apt-get.cc:
    - ignore foreign architectures if we check if a provides has only one
      resolver as it's basically the same for the user, so no need to choose
  * cmdline/apt-config.cc:
    - dump the APT::Compressor settings correctly and completely
  * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.{h,cc}:
    - implement a ModificationTime method for FileFd
    - add a ReadLine method
    - drop the explicit export of gz-compression handling
  * apt-pkg/cdrom.cc:
    - support InRelease files on cdrom

apt (0.8.16~exp8) experimental; urgency=low

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * algorithms.cc:
    - show a debug why a package was kept by ResolveByKeep()
  * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
    - do not fail on unpacked packages in SmartUnPack, just don't
      shedule them for unpack, but do all checks and configure them
    - do not enter an endless loop for (essential) pre-dependency loops
  * apt-pkg/contrib/sha2_internal.cc:
    - use a pointer-union to peace gcc strict-aliasing warning
  * apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc:
    - M-A: foreign packages provide for other archs, too

apt (0.8.16~exp7) experimental; urgency=low

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * do not pollute namespace in the headers with using (Closes: #500198)
  * use forward declaration in headers if possible instead of includes
  * remove old APT_COMPATIBILITY ifdef's
  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - use std::vector instead of fixed size arrays to store args and
      multiarch-packagename strings
    - load the dpkg base arguments only one time and reuse them later
  * cmdline/apt-get.cc:
    - follow Provides in the evaluation of saving candidates, too, for
      statisfying garbage package dependencies (Closes: #640590)
  * apt-pkg/algorithms.cc:
    - if a package is garbage, don't try to save it with FixByInstall
  * apt-pkg/deb/debsrcrecords.cc:
    - remove the limit of 400 Binaries for a source package (Closes: #622110)
  * apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc:
    - fix crash when the dynamic mmap needs to be grown in
      LoadReleaseInfo (LP: #854090)

    - none is a separator, not a language: no need for Index (Closes: #624218)
  * apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:
    - do not builtin languages only if none is forced (Closes: #643787)
  * apt-pkg/pkgcachegen.cc:
    - refactor MergeList by creating -Group, -Package and -Version specialist
    - share description list between "same" versions (LP: #868977)
      This also means that descriptions are shared across archives now.
    - add implicit dependencies needed for Multi-Arch at the time a Version
      struct is created and not at the end of the cache generation
  * apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:
    - always prefer "en" over "" for "en"-language regardless of cache-order

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc:
    - fix double delete (LP: #848907)
    - ignore only the invalid regexp instead of all options
  * apt-pkg/acquire-item.h, apt-pkg/deb/debmetaindex.cc:
    - fix fetching language information by adding OptionalSubIndexTarget
  * methods/https.cc:

    - fix buffersize in bytes2hex

apt (0.8.16~exp6) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Christopher Baines ]
  * enable APT in unpack/configure ordering to handle loops as well
    as tight dependencies between immediate packages better
    enabling also the possibility to mark all packages as immediate
    (at least Closes: #353290, #540227, #559733, #621836, #639290)

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * [abi-break] Support large files in the complete toolset. Indexes of this
    size are pretty unlikely for now, but we need it for deb
    packages which could become bigger than 4GB now (LP: #815895)
  * merged the debian-sid branch

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * bump ABI version

apt (0.8.16~exp5ubuntu14.2.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  [ Daniel Hahler ]
  * doc/apt-key.8.xml: Ubuntu specific documentation changes (LP: #445903)
