    Summary: Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool with RPM support
    Description: 
    A port of Debian's APT tools for RPM based distributions,
    or at least for Conectiva. It provides the apt-get utility that
    provides a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.
    APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source
    capability and several other unique features.
    
    This package is still under development.

    - e2k: Fixed the compilation of dependent packages with unchanged flags.
      (Restored the e2k source code adaptations; simply removing them in
      0.5.15lorg2-alt93 was wrong due to possible ABI or API breakage.)
    May 21, 2025 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt95.p10.1
    - Build for p10: with some fixes (corrupt downloads, IPv6 literals, etc.),
      and with the new feature of HTTPS over an HTTP proxy,
      but with the experimental columnar output turned off.
    May 21, 2025 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt96
    - Added support for HTTPS connections through an HTTP proxy (ALT#38543).
      (Backported from Debian 1.5_alpha4~9.) (To come next: through HTTPS proxy.)
      Applicable configuration is the same as for HTTP.
    - Fixes:
      + OVE-20250602-0002 Not using HTTPS from behind a proxy opens doors for
      exploiting APT's bugs.
      When using APT from behind a proxy, impossibility to use a trusted
      connection to the trusted vendor's HTTPS server may open doors for an
      attack on APT's http method that would make APT misbehave and execute
      arbitrary code (in a package) prepared by an attacker who controls one
      of the connection nodes, e.g., by exploiting any bug in APT that would
      lead to misinterpretation of internal responses from the http method,
      which--among other things--has the power to fake computed checksums.
