[Aptitude-devel] aptitude/0.6.8.1-1

[Daniel Hartwig]

An update for aptitude is available on mentors.d.n:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/aptitude

dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/aptitude_0.6.8.1-1.dsc

This is a small update, to fix an important multi-arch issue.

  * Multi-arch update for the problem resolver:
    - handle conflicts without removing all foreign-arch
      packages (Closes: #672340) (LP: #831768)
    - correctly recognise dependencies solved by Multi-Arch:
      foreign packages (LP: #968412)

The patch has already received some testing with positive feedback from users:
http://bugs.debian.org/672340
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831768

Pre-approval for a freeze exception has been granted:
http://bugs.deban.org/685195

Please do sponsor this upload.

A further update will follow soon, with translations and possibly more
multi-arch fixes.
