Comment 46 for bug 80248

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that I have set up my PPA repository which now
contains the patched versions of "apt" and friends.

So, if you are a user of the Turkish locale, and you would like this bug to
go away, all you have to do is the following:

1) a) If you are using "Hardy" (8.04 LTS), then append to your /etc/sources.list file
the following lines:

=== 8< ===
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu hardy main
=== >8 ===

1) b) If you are using "Intrepid" (8.10), then append to your /etc/sources.list file
the following lines:

=== 8< ===
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu intrepid main
=== >8 ===

2) Use your favorite package manager (Synaptic, Adept, aptitude, etc.)
to do the equivalent of:

=== 8< ===
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
=== >8 ===

3) Close your package manager, and run the following commands:

=== 8< ===
sudo rm -v /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo apt-get update
=== >8 ===

Now, our main objective should be to get the patch I wrote merged into apt.

Regards,

M. Vefa Bicakci

Note 1: In order for the changes to the libraries go fully into effect, you might
need to log out and log back in (or reboot) after you have completed the steps
outlined above. (This is required because "update-notifier" will continue to
use the older version of libapt-pkg until "update-notifier" is restarted.)

Note 2: Attached is a newer version of the patch.
