Package: release-notes Severity: normal The first time the lenny version of aptitude is run, it will read in its list of automatically installed packages and convert it for use with the lenny version of apt (which can handle automatically-installed information). But it was pointed out to me that some users might want to start using apt-get after they upgrade, and they'd wonder where their automatic flags went.
The easiest way to do the conversion is the undocumented command aptitude nop as root, which will exit immediately after converting the cache. But if you want to stick to documented stuff, any other NOP will work fine, like running (as root) aptitude search "?false" or even just starting the program as root with no arguments and immediately exiting.
