July 4, 2019 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt68.1
- Made the treatment of the File Provides and the version ID of
  installed packages "stable": not affected negatively by sources.list.
  Also negative effects of different pkglists from sources.list on each other
  have been mitigated. (A pkglist from sources.list that lacked disttags could
  shadow the File Provides of packages from the database or other pkglists.)
June 5, 2019 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt68
- Add disttag to VerStrs (used by APT to identify package versions).
June 5, 2019 Aleksei Nikiforov 0.5.15lorg2-alt67
- Print error and disable 'upgrade' by default.
  Using 'dist-upgrade' instead of 'upgrade' is advised.
  Allow enabling 'upgrade' via '--enable-upgrade' option or
  via 'APT::Get::EnableUpgrade' configuration setting (Closes: #30867).
