Please sync apticron 1.1.22 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
The change from Jonathan has been accepted by Debian (LP: #78357).

Since we are in FeatureFreeze for Intrepid now and the new version
includes new features, I'll subscribe motu-release for ACKing.

Since the new version adds a workaround for packages kept on hold
by aptitude this seems good to have for Intrepid.
Additionally, the new feature to only display a diff against the
previous report appears nice to have.

Changelog since current intrepid version 1.1.21ubuntu1:

apticron (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Using /etc/lsb-release in order to get the right distribuion on the
    message - useful for Debian derivatives. Thanks to Daniel Hahler
    <email address hidden>. (Closes: #493296)
  * Removing annoying tabs and spaces from apticron file.
  * Add workaround in order to no longer sending upgrade notices about
    packages that are on hold by aptitude - these that are unfortunately
    ignored by apt-get. (Closes: #431869)
  * List packages that will not be upgraded for being on hold on dselect
    database. Also lists those on hold by aptitude, giving the user a warning
    message recommending them not to use apt-get in that case.
    (Closes: #314646)
  * Update Standards-Version to 3.8.0.
  * Giving the user an option to receive only the diff pendings between
    current and last apticron run. (Closes: #344115)
  * Fix minor lintian warnings.

apticron (1.1.21+nmu1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload to fix pending l10n issues.
  * Debconf translations:
    - Galician. Closes: #482665
    - Basque. Closes: #495037

What testing of this have you done?

Daniel Hahler (blueyed) wrote :

Nothing, since Intrepid does not boot in Virtualbox and it's quite difficult to test in general (based on cron etc).
However, I've skimmed the diff and could not find anything that looks like it could cause trouble.

Can you test it with Hardy then?

I've tested apticron 1.1.22 from Debian on a Hardy server and it worked.
I've verified that the new DIFF_ONLY option works as advertised.

Looks good to me (also on the ground that an FFe was granted in Debian) +1.
