Changelog

base-files (4.0.5ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Branding changes.
    - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
    - Add lsb-release-udeb package.
    - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
      upgrade it automatically.
    - Various bashrc extensions.
    - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment.
    - Add default /etc/networks file.
    - Implement LSB-3.1, 16.2 (/etc/profile.d).
    - Added information about the docs web page.
    - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail.
    - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there
      are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
    - Change permissions of kernels copied from the Live CD by Ubiquity
      1.9.4 thru 1.10.9.
    - Correct group ownership of files changed by Ubiquity 1.7.5 thru
      1.10.9.
  * /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, /etc/lsb-release: Welcome to Intrepid!

base-files (4.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed awk from Depends to Pre-Depends. Closes: #314571, #469552.
    This is required to make the awk virtual package to be truly essential,
    as only essential packages, their predependencies, and the dependencies
    of their predependencies are guaranteed to be "working at all times".
    Previously, the packaging system was allowed to remove an awk flavour
    and install another one in the middle of an upgrade, which may break
    packages using awk in their preinsts (and in fact, it happened).
    Tkanks a lot to Steve Langasek for clarifying this issue.
  * It's still soon to change /etc/debian_version. Please be patient.
