[ Niels Thykier ]
* apt-file: Strip Contents header without discarding results (Closes: #676642)

overwrite other command line parameters.

warning. Thanks to Paul Wise for reporting the issue.

* apt-file: Use "apt-get" instead of "apt" for the update
command if STDOUT is not a TTY. This is to avoid a
warning from apt about it being unsuitable for scripts.

Thanks to Ritesh Raj Sarraf for the report. (Closes: #832131)

in the apt config file. Thanks to Cyril Brulebois for the
suggestion (part of #825293)

given, apt-file will search all of its indices. Thanks to

* debian/NEWS: Clarify that the indices for source packages and
udebs are disabled in the apt-file 2 -> 3 transition. These
must be manually reabled. Thanks to Cyril Brulebois for the
report. (Closes: #825293)
