This week's Bug Day will focus on ''Apt''!  ''Apt'' is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager, providing a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.

Here we have a sampling of bugs to work on for Hug Day.  After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your name in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding '''lightgreen''' in the first cell of the column after "background-color:" and before ";".  This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged.  

You might find it more convenient to edit the wiki page using {{{editmoin}}} a command line utility for editing moinmoin wiki pages.  It is available as a package in Gutsy and Hardy.  More information including an easier way to do this was [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2007-November/000666.html|mailed]] to the Bug Squad. 

== 5-a-day-ing ==

During hug days you can also do [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day|5-A-Day]] for this one you can do the following in order to tag your work on the hug day:
 
 * 5-a-day --add-tag hugday-20080724
 * Add bugs to 5-a-day as usual 
 * And when done with hug day run: 5-a-day --remove-tag hugday-20080724

More information about [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day#Tag|tags here]].


== 80 Newest bugs against apt ==
These are 80 of the newest bugs filed against apt.
