[Bug 924628] Re: package libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/libapt-pkg4.12.mo' is different from the same file on the system

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu7

---------------
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu7) precise; urgency=low

  * clean up obsolete conffile /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu, which was
    dropped in maverick.
  * Build-depend on gettext:any for cross-building support.
  * Don't treat build-depends-indep as cross-build-dependencies; we should
    always install the host arch versions.  LP: #968828.
  * Makefile, po/makefile:  make sure our pot generation datestamp doesn't
    change at build time, since this makes translations fail to be
    co-installable with multiarch.  Based on a patch by David Kalnischkies.
    Closes: #659333, LP: #924628.
  * For cross-build-dependencies, Architecture: all packages should be
    treated as implicitly Multi-Arch: foreign, because either they *are*
    M-A: foreign when used as a build-dependency, or they need to be updated
    to not be Architecture: all; and since cross-build-deps are new
    functionality in apt, we can safely make this change without breaking
    existing systems.  Closes: #666772.
