apt-listchanges is the tool that allows you this. It will display entries from the NEWS.Debian file to you and also the changelogs, if wanted. It's conveniently configured through debconf and by default only displays the NEWS entries. Having installed that package would have given you that warning at the start of the upgrade process, the message I quoted before. > Also, I'm looking for Wesnoth, when I start it with old saved games, to > say "You have old saved games.

I am not exactly sure what the need for the switch was but I expect that upstream does have a reason for this approach - I rather not like to patch the configdir path to be different without knowing the rationale behind that and divert from how its done everywhere else. Thanks. :) Rhonda -- Wesnoth save game file format in jaunty is incompatible (1.4 -> 1.6) and saves just vanish https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
