Thanks, I've added it as a blocker for this bug. > There is also an aptitude bug about displaying the changelog > of (installed) unofficial packages by showing the locally installed file > (http://bugs.debian.org/427222) or falling back to the locally installed > file if the PTS has not caught up, yet. That last point would apply to > the NEWS file, too. aptitude can already display the changelog of an installed package from the local file -- I didn't realize (or forgot) that it checks the origin first. Should be pretty easy to allow any installed package's changelog to be viewed. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
