Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19_i386
Severity: important
This is the version that people are told to use when upgrading from slink
to potato. Once I get this version, install it and then do a
'apt-get update' or any other functions within dselect, it no longer works
due to the inability to resolve hostnames.
It worked IMMEDIATELY before the upgrade. This isn't the first system I've
had it happen on. The server resolves hostnames fine, regardless of apt.
This sounds familiar to bug #69067
Thanks,

This is a documented limitation of the static version of APT.
I was told it is in the release notes..
