Comment 11 for bug 531518

Thanks for the PPA. I ran the apport and jockey tests suites against that, and they mostly succeed.

I get a large bunch of deprecation warnings, though (you mentioned that already, if we can silence them for the release that's fine),

Also, this behaviour is new:

>>> import apt
>>> c=apt.Cache()
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Building data structures... Done

With the current lucid version this isn't so chatty, but doesn't output anything. This now causes a lot of screen garbage on stdout (and incidentally also breaking the jockey tests because they don't expect so much output). Is that really intended? Can it be silenced somehow with an argument to Cache()?

Finally I tested the new version with software-center (although I'm sure that you have done this countless times already).

Otherwise I feel much better about this after those tests (thanks for doing dist-upgrade and gdebi), so this has my blessing now. Please go ahead, approved.
