* dselect: Add https supportGuillem Jover2025-05-191-0/+1
| | | | Recognize the method and update the documentation and prompts.
* Remove leftovers from ftp and rsh/ssh methods removalDavid Kalnischkies2025-01-051-1/+0

* Use deb.debian.org instead of ftp.debian.org URLsGuillem Jover2024-12-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | While the ftp.debian.org URLs are still functional in Debian, they can confuse people as the protocol is mismatched. Using the deb.debian.org frontend should also generally give generally good performance regardless of the client location.
* Remove obsolete references to ftp://ftp.debian.orgGuillem Jover2024-12-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Although Debian does not support FTP, this might still be used by other organizations, or local users, so replaced these instances with an example.org URL. Ref: https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2017/msg00001.html
* Remove non-US leftovers in code and documentationGuillem Jover2024-12-281-8/+5
| | | | | This has long been obsoleted, and there have been previous patches cleaning them up, but some left overs remained.
* Add non-free-firmware component in documentationDavid Kalnischkies2023-01-301-2/+2
| | | | | | This changes a lot of lines technically, but its easy enough to unfuzzy the translations as most of the mentions are examples to be copied literally in translations (sadly po4a isn't clever enough for this).
* Fix various typos in the documentationJakub Wilk2019-02-101-1/+1

* fix various typos reported by spellintianDavid Kalnischkies2017-01-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: spellintian
* expand -f to --fix-broken in error messagesDavid Kalnischkies2016-12-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via low-level forced dpkg calls. Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb". And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user. Closes: #709092 Thanks: Kristian Glass for initial patch!
* ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies2014-08-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore
