dpkg (1.20.5) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Revert change to prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with +
instead of *. The prefix is supposed to go in the text itself
instead of the spec name, which already had it. This change only
apparently fixed the issue at hand because gcc started parsing it as
the «[SUFFIX]:» case, completely disabling the PIE handling.
Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
defaults. This is required here too as this class does not call the
initialization from its parent.
* Build system:
- Detect the GNU program variants for make, patch and tar in the CPAN
distribution to replace in the Dpkg module.
- Set DEB_BUILD_ARCH to a dummy “amd64” in the CPAN distribution tests
to not require a dpkg(1) in the system.

verify_signature(), to make sure we do not write to the user home
directory, except for the trustkeys.db file if present.
- Dpkg::Path: Refactor new check_directory_traversal() function out of
Dpkg::Source::Package->extract().
- Dpkg::Path: Do not do partial matches for directory traversal checks,

dpkg (1.20.0) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* libdpkg: Do not generate a backup file for the available database.
Closes: #343578
* perl: Switch Getopt::Long from bundling to bundling_values. This means
the few scripts using Getopt::Long will stop accepting options in the
form «-ab» for «-a -b», which is not future-proof, as it does not allow
these options to get new arguments without making them ambiguous.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Remove transient backwards R³ compatibility code.
* buildtools.mk: Add support for nostrip in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS when setting
the STRIP variable.
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Do not include irrelevant packages in the Binary field.
* dpkg: Do not clear selections for unknown packages. Closes: #927752
* dpkg-shlibdeps: Add support for new Build-Depends-Packages, to be able
to specify multiple packages. Closes: #926669
Based on a patch by Frank Schaefer <kelledin@gmail.com>.
* perl: Remove support for versioned GnuPG 2 program and packages.
* libdpkg: Clarify lock contender error message. Print the PID of the lock
contender, and add a warning explaining that removing the lock file is
never the correct solution.
* dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-mergechangelogs: Remove support for ~vola
versioning, as volatile.debian.org was decommissioned some time ago.
* dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-mergechangelogs: Match ~deb also as a backport
marker in versions. Closes: #934980
* libdpkg, dpkg: Use new versiondescribe_c() for non-localizable call sites,
such as when writing to a log, which should not be localized.
Reported by Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>.
* dpkg-query: Try to use the package synopsis from the available file if
not installed. Closes: #43573
* dpkg-gencontrol: Take into account hardlinks when computing the
Installed-Size substvar. Closes: #923475
Patch co-authored with Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>.
* dpkg: Fix and clarify behavior for packages marked to be on “hold”. These
need to be processed for configuration and triggers. Closes: #926472
* dpkg: Use DPKG_ADMINDIR to set the admindir. Closes: #900071
* dpkg-source: Remove backwards compatibility code for legacy build-profiles.
* perl: Give more context on field parsing errors. Closes: #637060
* dpkg-buildpackage: Add option to sanitize environment. Closes: #843776
* update-alternatives: Cope with a missing administrative directory.
* update-alternatives: Create the administrative directory on demand.
* dpkg-split: Cope with a missing parts/ database directory.
* dpkg-split: Create the parts/ database directory on demand.
* libdpkg: Consider msdbrw_needsuperuser equivalent to msdbrw_write, so
the same checks are performed on normal non --force-not-root operation.
* libdpkg: Add support for bootstrapping the installation of dpkg:
Closes: #914515
- Create the logfile with correct permissions, and remove the code
setting up the logfile from the dpkg postinst.
- Allow missing status and available databases, so that they get created
on write, and remove the code setting them up from the dpkg postinst.
Closes: #647911
- Do not change the ownership of the triggers database directory. Either
we are running as root:root which means the ownership should be correct
already, or we are not which means we cannot change it anyway.
- Create the dpkg database directory on demand.
- Create the updates/ database directory on demand.
- Create the info/ database directory on demand.
* dpkg-architecture: Fix handling of exec failing in --command.
Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Do not accept equal signs as part of the hook names.
Reported by Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>. Closes: #948291
* dselect: Mark a string for translation.
* dselect: Cleanup access methods:
- Remove harddisk methods, as they were non-functional due to fdisk
interface changes, and do not make sense anymore as we can expect users
to mount any such filesystem on their own, to then use a filesystem
method instead. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
- Remove cdrom method superseded by the multi_cd method.
- Remove nfs methods, as there is nothing special about NFS, and mounting
these should just be left to the local admin, who can mount any other
remote filesystem too.
- Remove multi_mount method, as the multi_cd method can take care of
mounting the necessary images or devices.
- Replace changelog with correct copyright in file header.
* dpkg, dselect: Stop using first-person singular in output messages.
* libdpkg: Fix memory leak in parsedb context close.
* buildtools.mk: Add QMAKE variable. Closes: #920878
* po: Fix translation of --compare-versions. Closes: #951614

dpkg (1.19.6) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* libdpkg: Add a new TAR_FORMAT_UNKNOWN enum value.
* libdpkg: Set tar_entry to zero on tar_entry_destroy(), to avoid double
free()s and the subsequent crashes.
* libdpkg: Handle non end-of-tape errors from tar_header_decode().
* libdpkg: Use ERANGE instead of EINVAL for tar_atol8() out-of-range error.
* dpkg-gencontrol: Check presence of package build dir before traversing it.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Change default build option style to -sa.
Using -sA by default means the user might lose data on overwrite if
there is already a directory with the same name laying around.
Closes: #910737
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Handle Format field being undefined. On source
format 1.0, the default is for the debian/source/format file not being
present, which means we'll start with an empty Format field name.
Regression introduced in dpkg 1.19.3.
* Packaging:
- Update usertags.
- Install a lintian profile for dpkg based on the debian profile, so that
we can suppress Debian-specific tags, such as the controversial one on
vendor-specific patch series files.
- Add Breaks on lsb-base due to start-stop-daemon exposing breakage in
the killproc function from /lib/lsb/init-functions. Closes: #923861
* Test suite:

dpkg (1.19.5) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* start-stop-daemon: Make sure that we get a meaningful errno on
parse_unsigned(), so that the error messages always make sense.
* start-stop-daemon: Add new fatalv() and fatale() functions and use the
latter for system errors, so that we are explicit on whether we want to
use errno for error reporting or not.
* start-stop-daemon: Always refuse to parse a world-writable pidfile,
except when that is /dev/null.
* dpkg: Print the current set of enabled force options on --force-help.
* dpkg: Parse and set new DPKG_FORCE environment variable for subprocesses.
Closes: #666147

.buildinfo files. Suggested by Alexander E. Patrakov <patrakov@gmail.com>.
* libdpkg: Clarify field names in error and warning messages.
* libdpkg: Optimize error handling. Move the error reporting outside the
involved functions so that we do not need to call gettext if there is no
error, which has a significant performance cost.
* libdpkg: Merge nicknames table into fieldinfos, to stop penalizing the
lookup of non-obsolete fieldnames.
* libdpkg: Print a more accurate warning for Revision nicknames.
* libdpkg: Increase the pkg-hash bins size to 65521, to improve hash table
performance at the cost of a bit more memory usage.

* vendor.mk: Add support for an improved dpkg_vendor_derives_from macro.
Version the macros so that both can be used, and default the unversioned
one to the version 0 macro.
* dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as "istobe"
normal, so that the dependency checks know they cannot expect this package
to be processed anymore. Otherwise we ended up never detecting that we
were not making progress, as we expected to process this package at a later
point, when that would never happen anymore. This then was causing asserts
in the process queue loop. Closes: #901127, #910819
* dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected it into the current
package process queue iteration, so that we do not keep trying to process
it, which might end up generating artificial trigger cycles, if
dependencies are not satisfied yet.
* dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
one, so that we stop skipping unsatisfiable dependency checks.
* dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional. We should
only reset the cycle detection in case we are not bailing out from the
processing with an error, otherwise we could come back to this package and
detect an artificial trigger cycle.
* dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing. This
completely defers trigger processing until after the dependency cycle
breaking level, so to avoid generating artificial trigger cycles, when we
end up trying to process triggers with yet unsatisifiable dependencies.
Closes: #810724, #854478, #911620
* dpkg: Fix --help output, to clarify which arguments are optional.

dpkg (1.19.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix logic in dpkg-buildpackage to decide whether to run build targets,
which broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
Thanks to James Clarke <jrtc27@debian.org>. Closes: #878899
* Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <infinity0@debian.org>.
* Pass the correct source stanza to the dpkg-buildpackage code parsing the
Rules-Requires-Root field. This meant the field was being ignored.
* Run dpkg-source directly from the current working directory in
dpkg-buildpackage, instead of changing directory back and forth.
* Setup and check rootcommand in dpkg-buildpackage only if it is going to
be needed. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
* Add color support to dpkg-maintscript-helper (a shell script).
* Fix warning by including <sys/sysmacros.h> for makedev() in libdpkg.
* Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net>.
* Add new AS, STRIP, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP, NM, AR and RANLIB buildtools
variables to buildtools.mk. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Restore rejecting negated architectures in Architecture field in
dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5.
* Fix dpkg-gensymbols to print "error" instead of "warning" when these
are fatal. Closes: #881488
* Rename DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD to DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in the R³ support, as
the variable is expected to be set by any builder, not just dpkg. And
introduce ephemeral backwards compatibility even though there are no
known users.
* Do not set DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in dpkg-buildpackage when the R³ value is
<implementations-keywords>, following the specification.
* Specify that DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in R³ should preserve the environment.
Proposed by Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>.
* Specify new DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT variable for R³ support.
* Add new --rules-requires-root option to dpkg-buildpackage.
* Declare R³ specification as "recommendation, stable" with version 1.0.
* Export architecture variables by default from architecture.mk, as
documented in dpkg-architecture(1). Closes: #888964
Thanks to Jack Bates <wdz7eo@nottheoilrig.com>
* Increment the line number on dpkg --set-selections on unknown packages.
Reported by Heinz Repp <heinz.repp@arcor.de>. Closes: #888983
* Switch a DEBIAN/conffile parsing assert() in dpkg due to empty lines
into an ohshit(), because this is really a run-time error.
* Fix assert() in dselect to expect the method lock file descriptor to be
initialized, instead of non-zero.
* Switch a fatal() call in start-stop-daemon into the new BUG() macro,
because it is really an internal error.
* Switch all assert() calls (except in update-alternatives) into internerr()
or BUG() calls, to get way better reporting with variable contents and
descriptions, and to make them always present independent of NDEBUG.
* Add a new --no-rename option to dpkg-divert. This is the current default
behavior, but it will make it possible to do a default switch in 1.20.x.
* Warn when using dpkg-divert --add or --remove w/o --rename or --no-rename.
* Warn when using dpkg-divert --rename on a file from an Essential package.
* Use a single “struct filenamenode” definition for the entire code base.
Closes: #746766
* Add support for frontend locking. This makes it possible for frontends
using this new protocol, to safely lock the dpkg database w/o risk of
race conditions with other dpkg instances or frontends supporting the
same protocol. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>.
Closes: #850417, #851984
* Do not emit perl warnings in dpkg-source --help on source formats w/o
options.
* Make dpkg-buildpackage validate OpenPGP signing key IDs length. Error out
for short key IDs and warn for long key IDs.
* On the dpkg conffile prompt, print the set of environment variables setup
for the conffile shell, for easier discoverability.
* Fix dpkg-buildpackage option --rules-file parsing. It was trying to parse
it as --rules-target, which due to the ordering was a no-op.
* Only check for fallback build targets presence on binary builds in
dpkg-buildpackage.
* Only check required build dependencies for known targets specified with
dpkg-buildpackage --rules-target option.
Reported by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
* Track package status dirtiness in dpkg to only log and report in status-fd
when it has changed, removing duplication in output. Closes: #365921
* Use Synopsis instead of Summary for the short Description, to unify the
nomenclature and to make it more descriptive. Add a new binary:Synopsis
virtual field to dpkg-query show format.
* Add new dpkg-buildpackage --no-post-clean option, to be able to explicitly
select the current default behavior.
* Dump database package records in alphabetical order. This will give
reproducible status and available database files, and make it possible
to output other deb822 formatted data in a deterministic way.
* Require both standard input and output to be connected to a terminal to
use a pager.
* Run dpkg-query --list output through a pager if we are on a terminal,
instead of truncating it, to avoid data loss. Closes: #898603
* Fix use after free in dpkg maintainer script handling. Regression
introduced in dpkg 1.19.0.
* Flush output for dpkg-query --status, --print-avail and --listfiles at
the end, instead of after each stanza.
* Add support for dumping all dpkg-query --status and --print-avail records
from the database when no arguments are specified. Closes: #616342
* Add new dpkg-gensymbols -l option to avoid having to abuse LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for cross-build paths.
* Check that DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is defined in dpkg-maintscript-helper.
Closes: #907772
* Switch dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges to track automatically
generated artifacts by using the Auto-Built-Package field from the binary
package instead of hardcoding package name patterns (such as «-dbgsym$»).
* Add new --reverse option to dpkg-parsechangelog, to list the changelog
entries in reverse order.
* Architecture support:
- Add support for riscv64 CPU. Closes: #822914
Thanks to Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>
- Document the purpose and columns in the tupletable file.
* Portability:
- Add libcompat md5 module to the libcompat-test library, so that we
always make sure it builds, even when we use an external implementation.
- Convert libcompat md5 module to use C99 int types, instead of mapping
them from the BSD types at configure time.
- Use MD5_CTX instead of struct MD5Context, as the prevalent more portable
type on system's <md5.h> headers.
- Check for ldconfig command in dpkg only on platforms that do have it.
- Fix file descriptor leak in start-stop-daemon on AIX.
- libcompat: Add new strchrnul() implementation.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Check that $tarname is defined before use.
Thanks to Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
Closes: #879124
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Use proper %use_feature key. This was causing perl
errors on paths not accepted for fixdebugpath.
Reported by Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org>, on IRC. Closes: #881051
- Dpkg::Changelog: Print versions for incorrect changelog range warnings.
Thanks to Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Check that $state->{seen} exists instead of
$state being just defined. Fixes regression in dpkg-gensymbols symbols
output. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev <mitya57@debian.org>. Closes: #880166
- Dpkg::Arch: Add new positive options argument to arch validators.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark hurd-i386 as having gcc builtin PIE.
Requested by Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>.
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V2: Print one building line per existing tarball.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Print building lines for upstream tarball
signatures. Closes: #888787
- Dpkg::Deps: Turn virtualpkg tracking from an arrayyref into a hashref.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark riscv64 as having gcc builtin PIE.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump: Fix ELF program detection, for PIE binaries and
executable libraries.
- Dpkg::Version: Fix bool overload behavior back to be an is_valid()
alias. Emit a specific perl warning until 1.20.x so that users can check
whether the semantic change has any impact on the code, which can then
be quiesced. Closes: #895004
- Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: When detecting the changelog format, read the
last 4KiB of the file instead of using «tail -n40», which should be
both faster and more portable, as the default tail(1) is not POSIX
compliant on all systems (c.f. Solaris).
- Dpkg::Build::Types: Add new set_build_type_from_targets() function.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Always assign a proper Dpkg::Version to the
deprecated variable, otherwise the scalar value 0 can get confused
on scalar context to denote it is *not* deprecated instead of being
version 0.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Disable bool overload Dpkg::Version warnings.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Inline _parse_feature_area() into
_add_build_flags(), for a small speed up and line count reduction.

modules.
- Dpkg::Gettext: Fix fallback textdomain() to honor its expected interface.
- Dpkg::Deps: Split subpackages into their own separate modules.
- Dpkg::Source: Do not change patch permissions if not necessary.
Closes: #898010
- Dpkg::Substvars: Reword used/unused warnings to clarify their meaning.
Closes: #904258
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Warn when using LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a private library
directory which is a descendent of the current working directory.
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Quilt: Print series file used when applying
patches.
- Dpkg::OpenPGP: Return the destination path on successful ASCII armor
conversion.
- Dpkg::Control::Fields: Do not use & sigil for function calls.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Ignore nonexistent directories present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts: Satisfy :native with arch:all packages too.
These are treated as native packages everywhere else in the multi-arch
design, this was the only exception, which has become a source of
packaging problems as of late. This was apparently an oversight in
the original implementation. Closes: #854438
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add fixfilepath support to reproducible feature.
- Dpkg::Dist::Files: Add support for file attributes.

and -d option descriptions.
- Mark profiles as a replaceable item in dpkg-buildpackage --help output.
- Update test suite requirements in README.
- Document textdomain() and ngettext() replacement functions in
Dpkg::Gettext POD.
- Clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification in Dpkg::Deps POD.
- Improve Dpkg::Deps modules and methods documentation.
- Fix typo in deb-changes(5). Closes: #902616
- Clarify awaiting state for interest and activate directives.
Closes: #904060
- Fix man page markup. Closes: #900033, #900035, #900040
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is>.
- Fix Doxygen comment for libdpkg dpkg_arch_find() function.
- Document the dangers of using start-stop-daemon(8) only with --pidfile
as matching option with the pid file owned by a non-privileged user.
* Code internals:
- Do not use stringy eval to define different sub implementations,
just assign an anonymous sub to the typeglob.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() to quiesce a gcc-8 warning.
- Change pkgbin_name_needs_arch() to never arch-qualify packages that
have an empty or no architecture, which was already handled as part
of varbuf_add_archqual().
- libdpkg: Factor out cached arch-qualified package name generation into
new pkgbin_name_archqual() function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_name() and pkgbin_name() const variants.
- libdpkg, dselect: Use new pkg_name_const() and pkgbin_name_const().
- libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.
- dpkg: Call ensure_package_clientdata() defensively.
- dpkg: For read-only state functions, check that clientdata is allocated
before using it.
- libdpkg: Move files list information from dpkg clientdata to pkginfo.
- dpkg: Move ensure_package_clientdata() into its own file.
- libdpkg: Move db-fsys code from src to lib/dpkg.
- libdpkg: Rename pkg-db module to pkg-hash.
- libdpkg: Simplify pkg_files_blank() by using a pointer to pointer to
track the previous entry.
- libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.
- libdpkg: Switch to a new tiny struct to track file on-disk identity.
This should reduce the run-time memory used.
- libdpkg: Reset nfiles in files_db_reset().
- libdpkg: Split push_cleanup() into push_cleanup_fallback().
- Switch from strchr() + strlen() to strchrnul().

- Disable C optimization levels when configuring for code coverage.
* Packaging:
- Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
- Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919
- Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
- Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
from Dpkg::Source::Package.
Reported by Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 (no changes needed).
- Add bzip2 and xz-utils to Build-Depends, required by the functional test

- Add versioned libncurses-dev as the first Build-Depends alternative.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>.

* Add support for source package Description and substvars. This new
field in the debian/control source stanza will be copied into the .dsc
file, and will also be used to initialize the new source:Synopsis and
source:Extended-Description substvars that will be available when
generating the DEBIAN/control and .changes files. Closes: #555743
* Add new “future” feature area in dpkg-buildflags:
- Add new «lfs» feature, to be used instead of the getconf(1) interface
which cannot support cross-building.
* Add new buildtools.mk make fragment to support build tools variable
setup, for both TOOL and TOOL_FOR_BUILD variables. Not included by
default from default.mk.
* Make --uniform-compression the new default dpkg-deb behavior. Add support

- Switch from Dpkg::Util to List::Util, now that the module in the
new required Perl contains the needed functions.
- Add a new "unique_tuple_key" option to Dpkg::Index set_options() to
set better default "get_key_func" options, which will become the default
behavior in 1.20.x. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.

present. Addresses: #877688
- Unify Dpkg::ErrorHandling subprocess errors with the ones from libdpkg.
- Do not emit a perl warning if gcc or dpkg is not found from Dpkg::Arch,
the code already handles the commands not being present.
- Do not unnecessarily require setting the host_arch in Dpkg::Deps.
Closes: #856396
- Do not normalize args past a passthrough stop word in Dpkg::Getopt.
Some commands pass some arguments through to another command, and
those must not be normalized as that might break their invocation.

dpkg (1.18.24) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add missing symbols to the libdpkg map file.
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to preserve the Dpkg::Shlibs::find_library() order
when scanning symbols/shlibs files. This was causing generation of bogus
dependencies when multiple packages provide the same SONAME on different
directories. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.17. Closes: #860979
* Make dpkg-maintscript-helper print all unowned files from a directory
when printing the error message, to ease debugging those problems after
the fact. Closes: #813454, #860238
Based on a patch by Bastien ROUCARIÈS <roucaries.bastien@gmail.com>.
* Add duplicate prevention code for debian/files to dpkg-genbuildinfo, so
that successive runs with different versions and equivalent build types
do not generate multiple .buildinfo entries to be uploaded, which is
similar to what dpkg-gencontrol is doing for .deb files.
* Fix conffile takeover handling during unpack in dpkg on --root or
on diversions. Closes: #837051, #858004
* Fix digest inference for shared conffiles, causing bogus takeover
unpack errors. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.9. Closes: #861217
* Improve tar entry metadata parsing in dpkg:
- Do not parse device numbers for non block nor char tar entry objects.
- Make the existing octal parser more robust, by checking for the
expected format of leading zeros or spaces, followed by any ASCII
octal characters (0-7), followed by zero or more space or NULs.
- Add support for base-256 encoded numeric fields, to support large
values, for UID/GID, device number, size and even signed timestamps.
This is necessary not only to be able to store larger values, but to
cover packages that can already be generated by dpkg-deb, given that
it uses the system GNU tar when building. Closes: #850834
* Architecture support:
- Add support for ARM64 ILP32. Closes: #824742
Thanks to Wookey <wookey@wookware.org>.
* Perl modules:
- Remove obsolete hardening-wrapper support from Dpkg::Vendor::Ubuntu.
Thanks to Adam Conrad <adconrad@0c3.net>.
- Bump $Dpkg::Deps::VERSION to match the one documented in CHANGES.
- Ignore by default debian/files.new and debian/files for all source
formats in Dpkg::Source::Package, because these are generated files
with well known pathnames, part of the public interface, and with
dpkg-genbuildinfo always injecting .buildinfo entries into
debian/files, this meant this could disrupt previous workflows based
on not cleaning the source tree.
* Documentation:
- Many spelling fixes. Thanks to Josh Soref <jsoref@gmail.com>.
- Do not include misspellings in changelogs, as that makes detecting them
more difficult.
* Build system:
- Use libexec variable for auxiliary internal programs, and set it to
/usr/lib on Debian and derivatives.
- Check that the detected tar is a GNU tar.
- Check that the detected patch is a GNU patch, so that we get a directory
traversal resistant patch implementation. This fixes CVE-2017-8283 by
delegating those checks to patch(1), so that we trap blank-indented
diff hunks trying to escape from the source tree.
* Test suite:
- Add a test case for blank-indented patches which were the cause for
CVE-2017-8283.
- Handle files with non-zero sizes in c-tarextract libdpkg test code.

* Handle unmatched arch-qualified virtual packages in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
instead of letting perl die. Closes: #849944
* Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0.
* Do not depend on cxxabi.h to have declared __cxa_pure_virtual, use
the same “__cxxabiv1” namespace as specified in the C++ ABI, instead
of using the “abi” alias intended for use by userland.
Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger <joerg@netbsd.org>.
* Add a comment on any C code switch case that falls through. Fixes new
gcc-7 warnings.
* Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() in libdpkg when constructing the ar
member header, as we might overflow depending on the input data.
* Portability:
- Do not redeclare sys_siglist in libcompat when the system does so.
Thanks to Thomas Klausner <wiz@NetBSD.org>.
- Rename err variable to ret in start-stop-daemon as the former is a
function on BSDs.
- Use 5-argument kvm_getprocs() call form on OpenBSD in start-stop-daemon.
- Use correct struct kinfo_proc ruid submember name on NetBSD in
start-stop-daemon.
- Define _KMEMUSER for NetBSD to get declarations for various
struct kinfo_proc members in start-stop-daemon.
* Perl modules:
- Do not special case EM_SPARC32PLUS for NetBSD in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump,
the code has been fixed in NetBSD as that situation could not happen.
- Fix read() error handling in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format() to
gracefully ignore non-ELF files again. Closes: #854536
- Emit an explicit warning from Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::Object::analyze()
for unknown executable formats instead of relying on objdump doing so.
- Do not parse bogus ELF binaries in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format().
Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
- Add ‘.mnt-ignore’ to the default ignore lists in Dpkg::Source::Package,
as we were already ignoring the ‘_MTN’ pathnames. Closes: #855450
Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez <nicolas@debian.org>.
- Mark kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64 architectures as
having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Switch PIE handling in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian to have no default (!) and
delegate the setting to gcc or an explicit request by a user. This is
needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and
the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg
build flags. Closes: #848129, #845550
* Documentation:
- Clarify the requirements for deb-conffile(5) pathnames. Closes: #854417
Proposed by Dieter Adriaenssens <dieter.adriaenssens@gmail.com>.
- Document dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build in --help output.
- Document dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps in --help output.
* Build system:
- Check <sys/proc.h> by also including <sys/param.h>, on several BSD
systems the header is not self-contained.
- Handle libmd implementations built into system libc, as found on some
BSD systems.
- Do not fail on missing compression libraries or headers on automatic
detection mode. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.14.

take into account once and if this gets reintroduced. Closes: #852820

* Add a new --no-sign option to dpkg-buildpackage, to make it possible to
disable all signing in a future-proof way.
* Make dpkg-buildpackage --unsigned-changes not sign .buildinfo either.
This breaks the expectations of users and tools, because there was no
way previously to request no signing at all. Closes: #852822
* Perl modules:
- Mask the machine bits for SH and MIPS in the ELF processor flags in
Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. These do not define the ABI, and make the
objects not match when they should, when looking for shared libraries
from dpkg-shlibdeps.
- Encode the ELF ABI as a big-endian byte stream, so that decoding for
output gives meaningful results.
- Disable the NFS-unsafe warning on Linux, as using flock() on NFS has

* Stop emitting Built-For-Profiles from dpkg-gencontrol. The information
is already provided in .buildinfo and .changes files, and including it
in the binary packages makes them unreproducible even when the profile
used would not alter its contents. Closes: #831524
* Do not allow empty epochs and revisions in versions. When there's at
least one colon or one dash, we should expect epoch and revision numbers.
* Always set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-source. Use
the current date if the changelog does not have one. Closes: #849081
* Refactor update-alternatives pathname existence check into a new function.
* Avoid useless repeated lstat()s in update-alternatives.
* Only check for debian/tests/control file once in dpkg-source.
* Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions in
dpkg-source into .dsc files. Closes: #847926
Based on a patch by Iain Lane <laney@debian.org>.
* Improve the ELF ABI mismatch detector in dpkg-shlibdeps, by parsing the
ELF header ourselves. While still not perfect (things like linux-i386 and
hurd-i386 will still match), it will filter lots of previously matching
objects that should have been ignored, and will work even when objdump
does not know about the specific object details. Closes: #849913
* Add initial support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to dpkg-genbuildinfo. This will
make it possible to enable or disable specific features that should be
recorded in the .buildinfo file. For now only “all” and “path” are
supported. Closes: #848705
* Add again the architecture from the filename to .changes files for any
artifact with one. This reverts the change introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
* Fold the filtering and checksumming of files to distribute in a .changes
file in dpkg-genchanges into the initial loop. This way we do not include
architectures for artifacts we are not going to distribute, and do not
unnecessarily recompute the checksums for artifacts like the sources.
* Do not compute the architecture list twice in dpkg-genchanges.
* Include .buildinfo files also for source-only uploads in dpkg-genchanges.
Closes: #846164
* Fix check for expected number of binary artifacts in dpkg-genchanges, to
only take into account the artifacts that we are distributing.
* Fix parsing of Pre-Depends and Depends in dpkg-genbuildinfo, so that
the code parses both and not just the first to appear in the stanza.
Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
* Add support for signed .buildinfo files to dpkg-buildpackage. Add new
-ui and --unsigned-buildinfo options. Closes: #843925
* Portability:
- On GNU/Hurd try to use the new process executable name attribute from
libps, to properly match on start-stop-daemon --exec.
* Perl modules:
- Fix Debian architecture wildcard parsing so that matching four-tuple
matchings work. Missed in dpkg 1.18.11.

- Call anonymous subs via -> operator instead of casting with &, and fix
bogus POD documentation to match the code.
- Add new Auto-Built-Package field to Dpkg::Control::Fields.
- Add a new debug() reporting function, and switch code to use it.
- Add new Dpkg::BuildOption parse_features() method refactored from

* Reject empty upstream versions in C and perl code. These are not permitted
by deb-version(5), but the code was letting those through.
* Use lzma_cputhreads() instead of sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) as the
former is way more portable.
* Automatically decrease xz encoder threads to try to not exceed available
memory limits. This should alleviate the insane requirements of memory
needed on 32-bit architectures with many cores, which results in more
than the userspace addressable memory, when using settings such as
-z9 and/or -Sextreme in dpkg-deb. Closes: #846564

bogus filesystems do not return the actual symlink size in st_size,
which contradicts POSIX. But allowing the case where the returned size
is smaller than the one used to allocate memory is harmless, although
suspect. Let it through, but still print a warning so that users can

* Improve PIE flags support:
- Do not enable PIE when linking static programs. glibc-based systems
do not support this combination and produce very bogus output.
Proposed by Szabolcs Nagy <nsz@port70.net>. Closes: #843714
* On source builds add 'source' to the Architecture field in the

* Add new Build-Date field to .buildinfo files.
* Generate deterministic .buildinfo filenames in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
following the same pattern as used for .changes files.
* Bump .buildinfo Format to version 0.2.
* Change dpkg-buildpackage -j and -J on “auto” mode to fallback to serial
execution when we cannot infer the number of online processors on
unsupported or exotic systems. This should be a safer mode of operation.
Proposed by Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>.

- Do not set PIE options if they have been negated, and do not reset
them if they have been requested.
Closes: #843791, #843826
* Fix use after free error in dpkg. It was trying to print messages that

* Build system:
- Fix inversion logic in libmd configure check when requested explicitly.
- Do not consider the compressor libraries available in configure if the
headers are not usable.
- Fix DPKG_BUILD_RELEASE_DATE to require DPKG_PROG_PERL, as it uses perl.

* Improve PIE flags support:
- Retroactively document in the changelog that PIE is enabled by default
on all supported architectures regardless of gcc doing so itself on a
subset of them.
- When emitting PIE flags on architectures where gcc does not inject
those itself, do it via a specs file too, so that maintainers can
use them unconditionally regardless of the object being compiled

* Obsolete dpkg-deb bzip2 and lzma compression methods by emitting errors.
* Remove obsolete dpkg-deb --old and --new options.
* Remove obsolete dpkg --print-installation-architecture option.
* Fix dpkg error messages when parsing md5sum files to include the package
name affected.
* Do not emit epochs for unambiguous versions in deb-split package header.
Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.0.
* Make the deb-split(5) generation in dpkg-split reproducible, by using the
timestamp from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
* Generate reproducible file modes for the .deb control member contents.
Closes: #787980
* Switch from non-freeing malloc to m_malloc on statdb slurping.
* Switch from non-freeing malloc to m_malloc for invoke hooks.
* Always reset the package in-core database when shutting down the package
database journal.
* Do not crash if we pass a NULL cip argument to setaction() in libdpkg.
* Shutdown the package database journal in dpkg --get-selections.
* Fix (deactivated) dpkg --command-fd to initialize and reset the files
database on each action.
* Implement source stanza substvars prefixed with S: in dpkg-gencontrol.
These auto-generated variables map each source stanza field into an
output substvar prefixed with “S:”.
* Make dpkg-source generate reproducible source packages when run
standalone, by honoring SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
* Fix several short-lived memory leaks in update-alternatives.
Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Only set the error context message in libdpkg if it has been formatted
correctly.
* Return error in error_context_errmsg_format() only if the error message
gets truncated. In case we have to use the emergency buffer because the
previous vasprintf() call failed, we should only return an error code if
the vsnprintf() call on the emergency buffer truncates the output.
* Fix free() on uninitialized pointer in error_context_errmsg_format() in
libdpkg. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.7. Closes: #842004
* Move C++ support code into its own file.
* Add replacement new and delete array operators to C++ support code.
* Implement local abi::__cxa_pure_virtual. When using g++ if we provide our
version of this function we can avoid the dependency on either libstdc++
or libsup++.
* Include missing <new> for new and delete operator declarations.
* Do not log nor print duplicate dpkg removal action. We print
“Removing <package> (<version>)” lines and log remove action twice
when purging a package from frontends, because they usually first call
--remove and then --purge sequentially. When purging a package which is
already in config-files (i.e. it has been removed before), do not print
nor log the remove action.
* Remove default «.» from @INC before loading perl modules in perl code.
Fixes CVE-2016-1238.
* Give more information on --set-selections warnings. Closes: #842230
* Add new DEB_*_ARCH_ABI and DEB_*_ARCH_LIBC variables to dpkg-architecture
and architecture.mk Makefile fragment.
* Do substvar instantiation just once in dpkg-gencontrol.
* Fix dpkg-gencontrol to not update the files list file (debian/files)
when printing to STDOUT (via -O).
* Do not add architectures to .changes Architecture field for artifacts
that are not a .deb or .udeb in dpkg-genchanges.
* Add support for .buildinfo files:
- Add new dpkg-genbuildinfo command.
- Hook it into the dpkg-buildpackage machinery.
Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>. Closes: #138409
* Enable dpkg-buildpackage -Jauto by default. Closes: #842845
* Fix dpkg to not fail when removing non-existent backup files on read-only

* Enable PIE on all supported architectures and handle PIE enabled by
default in gcc. On architectures where gcc enables them by default,
stop setting -fPIE and -pie, and set -fno-PIE and -no-pie when disabling
«pie» via gcc specs files, so that we do not emit them on situations
where it would be inappropriate. Closes: #835149
Based on a patch by Bálint Réczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>.
* Architecture support:
- Add support for AIX operating system.
- Add a version pseudo-field to the arch tables.
- Internally represent Debian architectures as quadruplets.
* Portability:
- Cast off_t variables to intmax_t when printing them with "%jd".
- Add missing <string.h> include in libdpkg.
- Cast strlen() return value to ssize_t to match write() return type.
- Use underscore-prefixed system preprocessor symbols instead of namespace
polluting ones (such as “linux”, “OPENBSD” or “hpux”).
- Handle _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING being defined to -1 or 0 in
start-stop-daemon. This affects Mac OS X.
- On FreeBSD return STATUS_UNKNOWN instead of false in start-stop-daemon
do_procinit().
- Port start-stop-daemon process handling to Mac OS X.
Based on a patch by Mo McRoberts <mo@nevali.net>.
- Port start-stop-daemon process handling to AIX.
- Fix lookup by name on update-alternatives --config. The code was wrong
and not working at least on Mac OS X, making the test suite to fail.
- Only use gzip --rsyncable in Dpkg::Compression on Debian and hopefully
derivatives, by using perl's $Config{cf_by} variable to key on. The
Debian-specific --rsyncable option should have never been accepted for
use in dpkg to begin with.
- Use our own dpkg_ar_hdr struct instead of relying on the system
ar_hdr struct, as the ar format is not standardized and does vary
across systems, for example on AIX.
- Add <sys/sysmacros.h> on AIX for major() and minor().
- Add missing <errno.h> in libcompat.
- Include libcompat getopt module when we need getopt_long.
- Disable gettext support in libcompat getopt module. We do not carry
translations for this module, and it makes it pull libintl for programs
that might not use it otherwise.
* Perl modules:
- Obsolete Source-Version substvar in Dpkg::Substvars by emitting errors.
- Rework keyring hooks in Dpkg::Vendor. Deprecate the keyrings hook, and
add package-keyrings, archive-keyrings and archive-keyrings-historic
hooks. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
- Make the Dpkg::Substavars parse() method return the number of substvars
parsed.
- Add new set_field_substvars() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
- Fix reproducible source package support in Dpkg::Source::Archive, by
sorting the tar contents with --sort=name.
- Prefix private Dpkg::Source::Package::* functions with _.
- Defer filehandle closures in Dpkg::IPC::spawn() to avoid double-close.
Closes: #839905, #840293
- Always map the build type to the shortest string form in
Dpkg::Build::Type::get_build_options_from_type().
- Change Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle to inherit directly from IO::File

- Add new Dpkg::PROGTAR variable to store GNU tar command name.
- Add new Dpkg::PROGMAKE variable to store GNU make command name.
- Add new CTRL_FILE_BUILDINFO type to Dpkg::Control.
- Add new .buildinfo fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields.
- Add new builtin-system-build-paths Dpkg::Vendor hook.
- Cope gracefully with changelogs missing a timestamp trailer.

- Wrap and document dependency relationships.
- Remove obsolete dependency relationships, since Debian oldstable.
- Remove update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride

- Turn the update-alternatives(1) --query example item into a sub-section.
- Turn the Multi-Arch values into a list in deb-control(5).
- Improve user-defined field export marker documentation in
deb-src-control(5); clarify that X can be followed by zero or more
(instead of one or more) letters and turn the items into a proper list.
- Generate the man pages at build time. This makes it possible to process
them and update several variable strings such as system and package
pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And makes it
possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative
groff escape sequences on the output.
- Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8 in man pages sources.
- Disable hyphenation in man pages globally, because it performs very
poorly on many technical terms.
- Append the German man pages addendum at the end of the translation,
instead of assuming that every page has the SEE ALSO section.
- Explicitly mention that Dpkg::Checksums::add_from_file() is used to
verify digests too. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
- Document the behavior for consecutive calls to Dpkg perl module parse()
methods. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
- Document obsolete functions in Dpkg::Conf.
* Test suite:
- Make test main function a TEST_ENTRY macro. This avoids confusing
coverage programs, as the file that actually contains the main function
is the test itself.
- Rename test suite commands to be prefixed with «c-» instead of «t-».
- Add new dpkg-source functional tests.
- Add new dpkg-buildpackage functional tests.
- Add an initial functional test suite for dpkg-deb and dpkg-split.
- Skip the involved tests if IO::String is missing.
- Add new unit test for libdpkg error handling.
- Delete MAKEFLAGS environment variable when testing make invocations.
- Pass -q to grep command to suppress matched output in pod-coverage.t.
- Ignore POD coverage for partially private modules.
* Build system:
- Add support for profiling perl modules.
- Clean up compiler and linker automatic flag usage in configure.
- Fix the __progname check to avoid the optimizer discarding the symbol.
- Fix M4sh/Autoconf coding style. Add a new section to coding-style.txt
describing M4sh/Autoconf.
- Disable C++ exceptions for dselect.
- Fix typo in SE Linux library detection code, only affecting static
mode (not used in Debian). Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
- Change --with-* option logic to default to check.
- Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (for clang).
- Check the availability of -W<warning> variant instead of -Wno-<warning>.
As at least gcc and clang do not warn on -Wno-* warning flags, only
when some unrelated warning needs to be emitted.
- Bump po4a version to 0.43 (we are using --porefs wrap option).
- Add support for running the test suite in parallel.
- Specify exec argument for TAP::Harness to gracefully handle non-perl
executables with older versions of the module.
- Require libselinux 2.0.99 for baseline API, remove static linking
support, use pkg-config unconditionally, and perform refinement checks
only if available.
- Check for the required minimal perl version.
- Use builddir instead of CURDIR in man Makefile.am.
- Use cp with -R instead of -r (the former is more portable and not
marked as deprecated by POSIX).
- Print an actual newline instead of a literal \n in lcov output.
- Do not honor DPKG_DATADIR on the installed Dpkg module.
- Pass --as-needed to the linker for dselect to avoid libstdc++ dependency.
Which makes of dselect the only front-end not pulling the C++ run-time.

dpkg (1.18.7) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add new dpkg-source --require-strong-checksums option and change default.
There is no point in erroring out on this condition when signature issues
are only warnings, because we cannot guarantee we have functional keys
for old signatures. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5. Closes: #823428
* Stop using several fixed sized buffers for program reporting, which in
many cases could cause confusing truncation of long messages. Use heap
allocated formatted strings instead:
- In start-stop-daemon to report what to stop.
- In dselect to print main and access methods menu entries.
- In libdpkg command-line option parsing errors.
- In libdpkg warning, notice and info reporting.
- In libdpkg ohshit, ohshitv, ohshite and internerr. But in this case
fallback to a fixed-size emergency buffer in case of allocation or
formatting error, so that we can at least print something, even if
truncated.
Prompted by Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>.
* Colorize all fatal-error printing codepaths in libdpkg.
* Architecture support:
- Bump the GNU triplet cpu from i386 to i686 to match toolchain changes.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #823619
- Clarify column descriptions in architecture table files.
* Perl modules:
- Relax dependency restrictions parsing to allow again sloppy spaces
around versions, architectures and profile restrictions.
Regression introduced in 1.18.5. Closes: #823431
- Add new require_strong_checksums option to Dpkg::Source::Package.
- Add new tests_dep option to Dpkg::Deps deps_parse() to allow the
otherwise invalid ‘@’ character in dependencies. To be used when
parsing the debian/tests/control file.
* Documentation:
- Shorten example symbol names in dpkg-gensymbols to avoid a mandb
warning due to unwrappable lines in translations.

* Fix file queue tail assignment on file queue pop during unpack. This
could mess up the file queue in some circumstances and leave behind
files in the filesystem as «pathname».dpkg-new after configuration
and without traces of the files in the dpkg database. Closes: #823288
* Use m_strdup() instead of strdup() in dpkg recursive installation code.
* Fix off-by-one array allocation in dpkg recursive installation code that
can cause segfaults.
* Rename sysctl() “name” variable to “mib”, to avoid a clash with the
call site function argument with the same name in start-stop-daemon.

* Do not abort when traversing symlinks to directories in dpkg-scanpackages
and dpkg-scansources. Closes: #809219
* Implement delete operator with size argument in dselect, required by the
C++14 spec when the size-less delete operator is defined.
* Use EACCES instead of EWOULDBLOCK for fcntl(2) F_SETLK in dselect.
* Print the archive filename when dpkg cannot access it.
* Check that all passed archive filenames to dpkg exist before queuing them.
Closes: #809963
* Use ohshit() instead of internerr() for unhandled dpkg-split exit codes.
(i.e. do not abort). Closes: #812679
* Detect non-regular file archive arguments earlier in dpkg.
* Switch URLs in docs, code comments and packaging, from http:// or git://
to https:// if the latter is available (round three). This includes the
dpkg git repository, copyright format URL and examples in man pages among
others.
* Clarify where to find the GPL-2 license in debian/copyright.
* Do not enable stack-protector on nios2 in Debian and derivatives (it is
not supported by gcc yet).
* Check first for build type to short-circuit boolean expressions in
dpkg-genchanges.

* Add a new treewalk module in libdpkg, with the nice properties of avoiding
duplicate stat(2) calls, not calling find(1), and sorting the output w/o
stalling on the entire input being slurped and sorted.
- Use it to build the .deb data member in dpkg-deb.

* Search for debsig-verify in PATH instead of using an absolute path.
* Do not error out when failing to open the SE label db on permissive mode.
Closes: #811037

is very simple, and a simple hand-written parser is smaller and avoids a
build dependency.
* Be more strict when parsing the COLUMNS environment variable in dpkg-query.
* Make the Architecture field mandatory on package builds.
* Use new Dpkg::Arch functions to validate and parse architectures when
building source packages. Closes: #784808

dpkg-maintscript-helper, instead of using a variable pathname as a regex
with grep, which is susceptible to metacharacters acting as part of the
regex. Proposed by Carsten Hey <carsten@debian.org>.
* Decouple local keyword declaration from command assignment in

* Add very basic color support to all dpkg namespaced programs, enabled by
setting the environment variable DPKG_COLORS to “auto”, “always” or
“never”, the latter being the default.
* Add support for a new --build option to define build type by a
comma-separated list of components (“source”, “any”, “all”, “binary” or
“full”) in dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-buildpackage.
* Add new -I option to dpkg-shlibdeps to ignore package build directories.

* Cast c_isbits() c argument to an unsigned char when indexing the array.
This fixes build failures on armel, armhf, ppc64el and s390x.
* Do not allow pathnames with embedded newlines in dpkg-deb and dpkg.
Closes: #720761
* Fix setting the SE Linux context when a file has a statoverride.
Closes: #786435
* Set the SE Linux file context even when the file mode has no file type.
* Make dpkg-buildpackage -j override any parallel option specified in
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.14.15.
* Honor Pre-Depends, Conflicts and Breaks for packages in unpacked and

* Sort dpkg-scansources output by package name and version.
Thanks to Maximilian Schwerin <maximilian.schwerin@tigris.de>.
* Set the correct default compression value in dpkg-deb for control.tar.gz
member. This meant using compression level 1 when using the zlib shared
library to compress the control.tar member, and always failing when using
the gzip command. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.6. Closes: #786654
* Use the generated template file instead of the original one when looking
for changes in dpkg-gensymbols. There's too much information not being
preserved in the symbols files to be able to regenerate templates for

independent of the current locale.
* Add support for arch-bits and arch-endian dpkg-gensymbols tags.
Closes: #630342
* Switch perl code from legacy File::Path functions to new ones.
* Fix perl uninitialized value usage in dpkg-scansources when the Binary

* Rework the Installed-Size field default value computation to make it
reproducible regardless of the build system filesystem, and document
how the value is computed and that it is just an approximation.
Closes: #650077
* Use strftime() instead of «date -R» in dpkg-genchanges, as the latter
is not specified by POSIX and is not widely portable.
* Warn on obsolete '<' and '>' operators in dpkg --compare-versions.
* Trim end of line whitespace from dpkg and dselect config file parsers.
Reported by Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.

an Architecture field. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.2.
* Fix «dpkg --audit» to report missing and empty architecture fields.
Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.2.
* Add support to dpkg-deb for reading the archive from standard input,
except for --raw-extract which does not yet support it. Closes: #616614
Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>.
* Add ‘.mailmap’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists.
* Set the SE Linux context on «dpkg-statoverride --update». Closes: #690361
* Do not fail on dpkg-query -W and -l when multiple arguments match the

to x86_64. This is required for FreeBSD.
* Use badusage() instead of ohshit() for command-line errors.
* Use the original template symbols file when diffing in dpkg-gensymbols.
We should not create a new template symbols file, because the output
might change (different sorting order for example) relative to the
original. Closes: #773718

the other Checksum fields in dpkg-genchanges.
* Skip files based on the architecture from the filename in dpkg-genchanges.

* Remove outdated local copy of the Debian README.mirrors.txt file from
dselect ftp access method, and print a message pointing to the current
URL instead. Closes: #784966
* Cleanup default dpkg-shlibdeps shared library directory search list:
- Do not add cross-root directories (/<triplet>/ and /usr/<triplet>/).
- Remove ancient multilib /emul/ia32-linux/ paths.
- Reorder directory precedence to:
«dpkg-shlibdeps -l» > ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATHS} > cross-multiarch >
DEFAULT_LIBRARY_PATH > ld.so.conf > DEFAULT_MULTILIB_PATH
* When upgrading, copy over the cached arch-qualified package name. This
fixes wrong output when cross-grading.
* Consider foreign packages ambiguous in need of an arch-qualifier.
* Perl modules:
- Rename and deprecate Dpkg::Gettext _g function with new g_.
- Assume in Dpkg::Arch that the abitable is always present, and bump
libdpkg-perl Depends on dpkg to 1.16.3, the version introducing the file.
- Remove support for GCC_TARGET environment variable from Dpkg::Shlibs.
This was a temporary workaround for very old gcc toolchains. See #453267.
- Prefer multiarch paths to multilib ones in Dpkg::Shlibs.
Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>. Closes: #772184
- Enable sub-second timestamps in Dpkg::Source::Patch by using Time::HiRes.
- Use TMPDIR instead of manually setting DIR on tempfile() call in
Dpkg::Source::Package::V2.
- Switch Dpkg::Checksums from using checksum programs to the more portable
Digest modules. Obsolete the 'program' property, and add a 'name' one.
- Add support for $DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN to Dpkg::Gettext, so that the Dpkg
perl modules can always produce localized messages.
- Fix OpenPGP Armor Header Line parsing in Dpkg::Control::Hash. We should
only accept [\r\t ] as trailing whitespace, although RFC4880 does not
clarify what whitespace really maps to, we should really match the GnuPG
implementation anyway, as that's what we use to verify the signatures.
Reported by Jann Horn <jann@thejh.net>. Fixes CVE-2015-0840.
- Pass PATCH_GET environment variable instead of -g0 to the patch command
in Dpkg::Source::Patch. This allows using non-GNU patch programs, like
FreeBSD's patch.
- Accept an %opts argument for the Dpkg::Control::Info constructor, and
accept either passing a filename option as undef, or a scalar undef.
Closes: #782019
- Do not print on undef filehandle in Dpkg::Control::Info output().
Thanks to Roderich Schupp <roderich.schupp@gmail.com>. Closes: #781887
- Always sort the Dpkg::Dist::Files files list on output, instead of
preserving the insertion order, which is not reproducible with parallel
builds. Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
- Add new filter() method to Dpkg::Substvars.
- Kill the process when reaching timeout in Dpkg::IPC::wait_child().
* Test suite:
- Check perl code compilation, warnings and strictness.
- Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work on BSD «rm -rf» that cannot traverse
directories with mode 000.
- Fix dpkg-divert unit test to work when there is no /dev/full.
- Skip test cases when there is no c++filt available.
- Add test cases for Dpkg::Conf and Dpkg::Checksums.
- Handle libtool executables in progname unit test.
- Do not use a timeout when testing cat I/O, speeds up test suite by 5s.
- Reduce timeout test from 5 seconds to 1, to speed up test suite by 4s.
* Build system:
- Bump gettext version to 0.19:
+ Use --add-location=file in msgmerge and xgettext commands.
+ Use --porefs=noline for po4a command.
- Wrap file references in man page PO files with po4a --porefs=wrap.
- Fix support for cross-building dpkg:
+ Assume a working C99 snprintf on SUS >= v3.
+ Do not try to run the va_copy configure check, just check that the
symbol is available.
- Check that HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 instead of undefined, to fix a
build failure on uclibc based systems. Closes: #777044
Based on a patch by Alex Potapenko <opotapenko@gmail.com>.
- Use single suffix rules instead of non-portable %-pattern rules.
- Pass CC to the test suite, so that we can use a non-gcc compiler.
- Call AM_PROG_AR to detect the correct system archiver to use.
- Pass -Wall to automake in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, not implied by foreign.

- Document that timestamps are reset for files patched with source format
“3.0 (quilt)” too.
- Document in dpkg-buildpackage(1) that using dpkg-source is sometimes
better than -S. Suggested by Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>.

* Reintroduce update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/. There are still packages
using those paths, but the relevant lintian check did not list any,

* Add Breaks on old man-db, fontconfig and readahead-fedora packages using
awaiting triggers, as they produce trigger cycles. Closes: #768599
* Escape package and architecture names on control file parsing warning,
as those get injected into a variable that is used as a format string,

* Normalize tar entry uid and gid from the current system only in dpkg
unpack. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.14. Closes: #769211
* Restore multiple processing instances check for packages and archives

* Fail on trigger processing when it is required to progress. Trigger
processing is sometimes required and sometimes opportunistic, and we
should only fail on the former but ignore the latter. Closes: #768852
* Do not ignore trigger cycles for direct dependencies, these are just
normal trigger cycles, and as such should not be special cased.
* Register all pending triggers for deferred processing when being called
as «dpkg --configure pkgname…». This is a mostly conformant workaround
for frontends like apt that do not correctly call «dpkg --configure -a»

* Error out on obsolete Build-Profiles field syntax.
* Document -g and -G options in dpkg-genchanges(1). Closes: #766568
* Do not accept values bundled with long options in dpkg-parsechangelog.
The parser was accepting things like «--count10», which is just broken.
Instead allow only «--count=10» in addition to «--count 10».
* Accept «-S value» in addition to «-Svalue» in dpkg-parsechangelog.
Closes: #766559
* Add support for new interest-await and activate-await trigger directives.
And a new --await option to dpkg-trigger. This might allow possibly
switching the default meaning after a transition period no shorter than
two minor versions, so in 1.19.x or 1.20.x. Perhaps.
* Do trigger cycle detection after dependency checks in dependtry <= 1,
and before dependency cycle breaking in dependtry > 1. This makes sure
to always catch trigger cycles, but still gives the opportunity to try
to process triggers for packages that are not yet ready in the first
dependtry, but which might be a bit later on, without wrongly detecting
avoidable and bogus trigger cycles. Closes: #766557
* Update features removal schedule:
- The -u, --udeb dpkg-scanpackages options got removed, state that.

- Restriction lists are now restriction formulas.
- Restriction formulas are given in disjunctive normal form expression:
<foo> <bar baz> <blub>
- Removal of the implicit prefix/namespace mechanic.
- Construct the profiles entry of the Packages-List field by converting
the "<bar baz> <blub>" syntax into "bar,baz+blub".

* Add a new --hash option to enable generating only specific file checksums
in dpkg-scanpackages. Requested by Thorsten Glaser <tg@debian.org>.
* Add architecture restriction options for dpkg-architecture -L. This allows

side effect this fixes an integer overflow. Addresses: #760741
* Double the dpkg files database hash table size to the closest 2^18 prime.

- When using the Linux procfs switch to use /proc/PID/status instead of
/proc/PID/stat to read the process name.
- Add a generic KVM-based implementation to initialize the entire
process list.
- Fix FreeBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
- Add a native FreeBSD pid_is_exec() method, which is more reliable than
the KVM-based one, and means neither linprocfs nor procfs are required
on such system anymore. Note that GNU/kFreeBSD is still using Linux
procfs code (which ends up using linprocfs).
- Fix OpenBSD KVM code to use current kinfo_proc layout.
- Detect system specific headers at configure time instead of hardcoding
their usage depending on system macros.
- Add a new --ppid matching option to check for parent PID.
Suggested by Alex Mestiashvili <mailatgoogl@gmail.com>.
- On GNU/Hurd do not link unnecessarily against libshouldbeinlibc and
libihash.
* Set TAR preprocessor variable at build time instead of hardcoding it.
This will allow non-GNU systems to easily use another value for their
GNU tar, which is usually either gnutar or gtar.
* Require compound literals support in the compiler at configure time.
* Fix compound literals usage with compilers in C99 mode, by not assigning
them to static variables.

compression ratio, and in cases where higher compatibility or raw speed
is desired gzip is still the better option. Although unpacking will be
kept being supported to handle existing bzip2 compressed .deb files.

* Fix two memory leaks introduced in 1.15.6.
* Always use C99 variadic macros, as the build requires them anyway, we
avoid exposing the configure variable HAVE_C99 on installed headers.
* Use __attribute__ keyword depending on compiler support, we avoid
exposing the configure variable HAVE_C_ATTRIBUTE on installed headers.
* Do not allow a --retry schedule in start-stop-daemon where forever is

* Show dselect dependency/conflicts resolution screen again, by switching

avoid multiple evaluation of arguments. Regression introduced in 1.15.6.
Based on a patch by Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org>. Closes: #574816
* Defer the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction so that

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* debian/control: Add the accent on my first name.
* Perl API cleanup:
- rename Dpkg::Deps dump() methods into output([$fh]), overload string
representation ("$dep") to provide the result of $dep->output()
- prefix public functions in Dpkg::Deps with deps_ and export them
by default
- rename Dpkg::Source::Compressor in Dpkg::Compression::Process
- rename Dpkg::Source::CompressedFile in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle
and completely redesign its API
- update Dpkg::Compression's API to use compression_* functions
instead of granting direct access to variables, integrate
there management of default compression
- introduce Dpkg::Interface::Storable and update many modules
to make use of it
- update Dpkg::BuildOptions to provide an object-oriented interface
- update Dpkg::Checksums to provide an object-oriented interface
* Drop debian-maintainers from Suggests since it's obsolete, the
corresponding keyring is in debian-keyring.
* Merge support of symbol patterns in dpkg-gensymbols. Thanks to
Modestas Vainius for his work (see further for more details).
* Accept filename with spaces and colon in the output of objdump.
Required so that dpkg-shlibdeps support such files properly.
Thanks to Raphaël Geissert for the patch. Closes: #565712
* When unpacking a "3.0 (quilt)" source package, tell quilt where
patches are (to be) stored. Requires quilt >= 0.48-5 to work.

* Fix update-alternatives to not try to reinstall an unknown alternative
when the link group is broken, instead switch to the best choice in
automatic mode. Closes: #566406
* Don't return duplicate bug numbers in Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed:.
Thanks to Brian Murray <brian@ubuntu.com> for the report
and the patch. Closes: #569618
* Add $VERSION numbers to all perl modules. Closes: #465256
1.00 and higher means that the API should be stable
* While parsing diff's output, accept any sentence that contains the word
differ (as specified by POSIX) to identify that binary files could not be
compared. Closes: #570008
* dpkg-gencontrol does no longer accept arch-specific dependencies in
arch: all packages. Closes: #560071
* dpkg-gencontrol no longer warns if a substitution variable provided by -V
is not used (the warning is meant to catch unused substitutions coming
from the file, those are package specific with debhelper). Closes: #557133
* dpkg-gencontrol now indicates which package is concerned by the substvars
warning that it displays. Closes: #566837
* dpkg-buildpackage now supports options --source-option=<opt> and
--changes-option=<opt> to forward arbitrary options to dpkg-source and
dpkg-genchanges respectively. Closes: #566230
* The -T option of dpkg-{source,gencontrol,genchanges} can now be used
multiple times to read substitution variables from multiple files.
Closes: #363323
* dpkg-source now supports an option --create-empty-orig in formats
"2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" to auto-create the main original tarball when
there are supplementary tarballs. This makes it easier to bundle
multiple software together. Closes: #554488
* dpkg-source supports long option names --diff-ignore and --tar-ignore for
-i and -I. A new option --extend-diff-ignore is introduced. Those options
can thus now be used in debian/source/options.
* Generate manual pages for perl modules.
* Introduce the libdpkg-perl package and clarify its status in README.api.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes needed).
* Drop unused lintian override for arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share on
dselect.
* The rewritten Dpkg::Checksums deals properly with filenames with
spaces. Closes: #572030
* dpkg-source does no longer fallback to other source formats if the
requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459
* Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing
insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a
patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily
modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package
should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target
directory. Fixes CVE-2010-0396.
* Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this
can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due
to the -B .pc/$path option that it gets.

* Refer to “half configured” instead of “failed config” in «dpkg-query -l»
header and dselect package status printing for consistency.
* Make “dpkg-statoverride --quiet” actually do something, and quiesce
most of the innocuous warning messages. Closes: #403211
* Make “dpkg-statoverride --update --add” fail if it cannot update the
mode and owner of the file. This would fail later on when dpkg itself
applies the overrides, so better to signal this earlier.
* Add sparc64 to cputable. Thanks to Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>.
Closes: #560010
* Do not allow diverting a file to itself, which makes the file to get
removed. Closes: #312206
* Make the check for duplicate fields in a stanza in libdpkg actually work,
which now makes it fatal, as was intended originally. This should not
cause problems for anything using dpkg-dev to build packages as those
are already fatal on that case.
* Add new deb-split(5) man page.
* Fix misspellings of “explicitly” all over the place.
* Normalize ar member names when reading (removing trailing spaces and
slash), this allows deb-split packages be created with GNU ar.
* Validate compression level on dpkg-deb argument parsing.
* Fix error handling, clean up and refactor compression code.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for several of the patches.
* Do not print unambiguous epoch on dpkg file overwrite error.
* Rename Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_exec() to Dpkg::IPC::spawn().

* Fix small memory leaks related to scandir() in dpkg-deb and libdpkg.
* Fix dpkg-query and dpkg-trigger to actually print a version on --version.
* Always spawn a new shell on conffile prompt, instead of supporting
self backgrounding, remove DPKG_NO_TSTP environment variable support.

* On dpkg --no-act with --install, --unpack or --record-avail, and
dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory
instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions.
* Remove --license and --licence options from tools.
* Securely remove newly installed files when rolling-back a failed unpack.
* Change default lzma compression level from 9 to 6.

* Add support for xz compressed data.tar member of binary packages. Add
xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
* Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev.
This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies.
* Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.
The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the
appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same
way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118
* Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2
and zlib for dpkg-deb and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux.
* Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set
LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API to acknowledge that fact.
* Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library,
although its API should be considered volatile.
* Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package:
- README.multicd only in dselect.
- README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev.
- triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev.
* Move source.lintian-overrides to debian/source/lintian-overrides.
* Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the
mislabeling of files under <admindir> on conffile extraction or on unpack
errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438
* Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list
files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%.

[ Modestas Vainius ]
* Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
- c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
c++filt);
- symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
on top of the new framework;
- regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
* As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
* Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
to the rules of dpkg-name.
* Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
* Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before
(Closes: #568228).

* Call _g instead of g_ in dpkg-name.
* Fix inverted logic when deciding to assume the architecture in dpkg-name
when the package didn't have such field.
* Do not take into account Revision and Package_Revision fields in dpkg-name
and dpkg-scanpackages as they have been handled already by “dpkg-deb -I”.
* Switch dpkg-scansources to use Dpkg::Cdata instead of duplicating the
.dsc parsing code. As a side effect it now handles properly bogus files.
* Do not remap obsolete fields in dpkg-scanpackages as they have been
handled already by “dpkg-deb -I”.
* Properly mark packages being purged for disappearance from the database.
This will make the status database not be left behind with traces of old
not-installed packages. Closes: #472208
* On parse mark not-installed leftover packages for automatic removal from
the database on next dump. This obsoletes the --forget-old-unavail option,
thus making it now a no-op. Closes: #33394, #429262
* Document “hold” under package selection states instead of flags in dpkg(1).
* Remove trailing ‘/’ and ‘/.’ from the directory name to be used as the
package name on “dpkg-deb -b”. Closes: #218018, #373602
* Remove obsolete ‘hold’ and ‘hold-reinstreq’ internal status flags.
* Add fakeroot to dpkg-dev Recommends. Closes: #536821

to resolve a dependency problem in dselect.
* Add uClibc Linux support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #455501

Thanks to Simon Richter <sjr@debian.org>.
* When aborting due to file conflicts print the version of the conflicted

* Remove double slash in database path visible to the user in some error
conditions.
* Stop matching sparc64-*-* GNU triplets with sparc Debian architecture.
* Add support for config.d style directories in dpkg and dselect,
(/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d and /etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg.d respectively).
* Define DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH on the maintainer script environment to the
architecture the package got built for.
* Document DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE maintainer script environment variable
in dpkg man page.
* Document DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION maintainer script environment variable

* Use ohshit on bad version syntax in --compare-versions.
* Add Multi-Arch to the list of known binary package fields for dpkg-dev.

* Replace install-info by a wrapper around GNU's install-info. The wrapper
will be dropped in squeeze+1. dpkg now Breaks: old versions of
info-browsers that do not depend on the new install-info package
that provides the real functionality. Closes: #9771, #523980
See https://wiki.debian.org/Transitions/DpkgToGnuInstallInfo for details.
* Fix dpkg's preinst in case /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives contains unexpected
sub-directories. Closes: #535138
And also when one of the file doesn't contain correct alternatives
information (improper number of lines). Closes: #537558

* Update sample in dpkg-gensymbols(1) to give an accurate listing of
64 bit arches. Thanks to Julien Cristau for the patch. Closes: #540382
* Create /etc/cron.daily/dpkg to handle the backup of
/var/lib/dpkg/status in /var/backups. This is taken out of the cron
package and need no conflicts/breaks as the code does nothing if
the current status file is already backuped. Thanks to Leo 'costela'
Antunes <costela@debian.org> for the patch. Closes: #541412
* Change behaviour of dpkg --merge-avail to not update a package's
information if the version provided is older than the one already listed
in the available file. Thanks to Ian Jackson
<ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk> for the patch. Closes: #496114
* dpkg-architecture can now export DEB_{HOST,BUILD}_ARCH_{BITS,ENDIAN}
(pointer size and endianness):
- cputable (in dpkg) modified to contain those information
- dpkg-dev depends on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) to ensure that we have an updated
cputable (and so that a versioned build-dependency on dpkg-dev is enough
to use this new feature)
Closes: #531307
* Split overly long Binary: field values over multiple lines. This is
allowed since policy 3.8.3. Closes: #494714

* Support tags before symbols in symbols file contained in source packages.
The first two tags are "optional" (use it to not fail if the symbol might
disappear from the library without breaking the ABI) and "arch" to
restrict the set of architectures where the symbol is supposed to exist.
Thanks to Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu> for the patch.
See dpkg-gensymbols(1) for more information. Closes: #521551

* Assume an implicit version of "Base" for all unversioned symbols
that are merged into a SymbolFile. Closes: #533181
* Add new tag "ignore-blacklist" to force-include symbols which are
normally blacklisted. This can be useful for libgcc to include symbols
that the toolchain allows being shared but that are often static (and
hence are blacklisted for this reason). Closes: #533642

* Call quilt only once to apply all patches instead of once per patch
when building 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Closes: #518453
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps so that it works again when analyzing binaries
outside of package's directory. Closes: #518687
* Modify dpkg-shlibdeps to let shlibs.local override symbols files too.
* Drop support of debian/control's “Format” field used by dpkg-source while
it's not too late. Instead debian/source/format should be used to indicate
the desired source package format.
* Update deb-triggers(5) and dpkg-trigger(1) to add a reference to
/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz. Closes: #519717
* Avoid perl warnings in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges when the
Architecture field is missing in a binary package. Closes: #510282
* Modify Dpkg::Version::check_version() to not die by default.
Closes: #510615
* dpkg-source now ignores all possible vi swap file extensions (and not
only .swp). The corresponding exclude pattern for -I also got tightened to
only catch filenames starting with a dot. Closes: #515540
* dpkg-gencontrol displays a better error message when an ORed dependency
is used in a union field like Conflicts, Replaces or Breaks.
Closes: #489238
* dpkg-source's signature check is now done with gpgv if possible and
timeouts if not completed within 10 seconds. Closes: #490929
When using gpg, use --no-default-keyring to be consistent with gpgv's
behaviour to not use the user's keyring. Closes: #440841
* Update dpkg-dev dependencies: Closes: #472942
- Move gnupg to Recommends. It's needed to sign .dsc and .changes.
- Add gpgv to Recommends. Useful to check signatures of extracted packages.
- Add debian-maintainers to Suggests. Together with debian-keyring they
contain all the GPG keys required to verify official Debian packages.
* Drop /etc/dpkg/origins as it's taken over by base-files (see #487437).
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a
version means that the symbol has always existed in all versions of the
package.
* When dpkg delegates to dpkg-query or dpkg-deb to do the actual work, add
the "--" marker to explicitly document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.

* Add a new dpkg-vendor tool to query vendor information stored in
/etc/dpkg/origins. It can be used in debian/rules to enable different
behaviour depending on the current vendor at the time of the build.

Modify dpkg-buildpackage to not set the DEB_VENDOR environment variable,

- the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
- it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
- it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
Closes: #342566
- it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
- new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
- install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.

multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
been added:
- the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
- the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
--include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
Closes: #4588, #4628
- thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
- it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
- it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
- the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
- the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
- the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
default. Closes: #435126
- the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
(like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
- the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
on corresponding VCS repositories. Thanks to Joey Hess and Colin Watson
respectively.
* dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and
checksums checks. Closes: #220758
* dpkg-shlibdeps is now able to look into directories containing libraries
used by cross-built binaries provided that the right environment variable
are set. Closes: #453267
* Change default value of LDFLAGS (set by dpkg-buildpackage) to ''
instead of '-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions'. It's safer at this point of the
release cycle.
* dpkg-buildpackage will set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (but not override an existing
value) in case of cross-compilation so that pkgconfig finds .pc files
in the directory specific to the target architecture. Closes: #439979

dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
- "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in

be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail. Note that
unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea. Closes: #48208

* dpkg-buildpackage accepts a -j<n> option now which will set
MAKEFLAGS(-j<n>) and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS(parallel=<n>) accordingly.
parallel=<n> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will be passed to MAKEFLAGS as
well. Based on an idea by Robert Millan. Closes: #440636
* Allow dpkg-source -I without a pattern which will load a default
list of pattern similar to -i without regexp. Patch by
Jari Aalto. Closes: #440972
* Rework documentation of dpkg-source's -i and -I options.
Closes: #323911, #440956
* Add --utf8-strings to gpg call in dpkg-buildpackage since
that seems to be the better default. Suggested by Székelyi Szabolcs.
Closes: #379418
* Let dpkg-buildpackage error out early if the version number from
the changelog is not a valid Debian version. Closes: #216075
* Fix dpkg-source to create correct diffs for files with spaces in

error). Closes: #101813, and partially 101845.
* Don't error out if the files in the tar have leading './', for
dpkg-source. (another partial close of 101845).
* Handle the case where a single directory exists in the orig.tar.gz, but
it is NOT of the form <pkg>-<ver>. Closes: #101845.
* Set LC_ALL in dpkg-source when we call external programs when we are
going to parse their output. Another bug from 101845.
* Handle stating of truncated cpio filenames(100 char limit, bah), in
dpkg-source. Another bug from 101845.
* Add support for an Uploaders field, which is read from the first
paragraph of debian/control, and propagated to the .dsc. This lists
the people allowed to upload a package. If it is not set, then the
value of the Maintainer is placed into this field of the .dsc. This
bumps the .dsc format to 1.1. Closes: #101815.
* Handle symlinks in the tarball, and don't error out if found.
* in controllib, make warnerrors default to warnings. Affects

* warn instead of die when find returns an error(which happens if there
is a dangling symlink, because we use -follow). Closes: #51479.

it was already broken when there was no gcc anyway :)
* Fixed missing mipseb that was supposed to be in the archtable
* Better output in update-alternatives --config, now shows the
current, and the preferred choices.
* dpkg-name: ignore epoch when getting version
* 50dpkg-dev.el: add it as a conffile for dpkg-dev
* internals.sgml: Removed references to the versions of build tools,
they date the document.
* debian-changelog-mode.el: added hint for better log-email handling
* Added recognition for new source-depends fields for policy
referenced in bug #41232
* dpkg-buildpackage: add -ap option to force a pause prior to starting
the sign process. This helps for people who don't keep their signatures
on the filesystem (on a floppy perhaps, then mount as needed).
* minor script corrections
* dpkg-dev control: Change gcc to c-compiler in the recommends field, and
move cpio, patch and make to the depends line
* Leave file info intact in available when installing packages. MD5sum,
Filename, and MSDOS-Filename used to get lost when installing a
package.
* Added armv4l to archtable
* Added 'D' to the list of choices for conffile handling, closes: #48137
* Converted internals.sgml to debiandoc format. Also added a dpkg-doc
package that contains the generated output from this file (.ps, .html
and .info), includes doc-base support. Internals.sgml is also not
generated on the binary-arch target, and is no longer "byhand"
* dpkg-gencontrol: add "Source" to the fields placed in the control file
* dpkg-parsechangelog: fixed loop for parsepath (#48526)
* main/{processarc.c,depcon.c}: added new structure for conflictors,
which contains a struct for conflicts. This is used to create an array
of conflicting packages, which are going to be replaced. Allows for
multiple conflicts and replaces. All conflictor handlers were
converted to loops to handle each one (processarc.c).

dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
* Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
a different uid when starting a process
* Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
* Update dpkg-architecture's archtable
* Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
of the registered alternatives for a specific name
* Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
and uses
* Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
* Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
* Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
this is just a documentation fix).
* Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
* Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
* Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
* When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
and continue.
* Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
* Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
already generated anyway
* Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
to libtool itself after running configure
* Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
arch
* Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
different in layout
* Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
* debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
source.
* Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
* When running --configure on an already installed package, just
say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
state
* Fixed some compiler warnings
* Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
borked in the first place
* Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
* Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
* start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
* update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
* dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
changing the diversion registry
* Fix bad regex in update-rc.d

secret key file is found), as GPG, unlike PGP, is DFSG-free.
* Updated dpkg-source(1), and added gpg(1) and pgp(1) to the SEE ALSO
section.

I redirected STDERR onto fd 0 before calling getlogin().
* tools.m4: Fix display of whether c++ works.
* dpkg-deb/extract.c: glibc 2.1 and some kernels want to make
fflush() move the current fpos. Until someone can fix that,
protect with seek.
* Add an extra 0, to dselect/{pkg,meth}keys.cc so it compiles again.
* Start using lchown() if available.

<dark@xs4all.nl> and Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>.

of a real manpage has been reported in #11093.
* debian/README.compile: removed gawk and bogus comment about gettext
being in experimental, as reported by Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>
[#23344]. Added libpaperg (debiandoc2ps needs paperconf).

and unpack packages;
- invoke dpkg to configure and remove packages.
There are no installation methods available yet.
* Search feature in dselect works (it was purely an ncurses bug).
* dpkg-*.nondebbin.tar.gz now available (built by debian.rules).
* The target directory for dpkg-deb --extract (also available as

management, error handling, Makefiles &c to support dpkg.
* dpkg-deb should now work if sizeof(void*) < sizeof(void(*)()).

recursive package list in dselect.
* Column heading characters corrected from `SHOC' to `HSOC'.
-- Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk> Thu, 6 Apr 1995 12:48:13 +0100

Changes in dpkg 0.93.27:
* Make version number specifications in Depends &c work.
* Added AC_PROG_CXX to autoconf.in for dselect.
* Changed myopt.h not to have cipaction field in cmdinfo (this was

* Much work in `dselect' subdirectory.
* Deleted executables, objects and libraries from OLD tree !

Changes in dpkg 0.93.26:
* Added --no-also-select instead of not auto-selecting on --unpack
but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.25:

* `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed
from package top-level source directory.
* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.

Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
`dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
/etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.

* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
/var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
dpkg-deb not yet updated).

Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
* No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
* Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
* embryo of dselect.
Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
* New --ignore-depends option.

* dpkg 0.93.8 released.
* deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
* Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
* deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
* deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

* dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
* deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.

letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
* deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
* deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
* deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
* deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
* deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
information.
Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)

dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
(install): install programs to /usr/bin.
* deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
* deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
for the package name in the output.
(pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
the front-end to parse the output.
(pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
with '\0'.
* deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
ensure that permissions are preserved.
Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
* dpkg 0.93.6 released.
* deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
true!
Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
* dpkg 0.93.5 released.
* deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
into function pkg_contents.
* deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
that symbolic links are recognized.
(pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
recognize symbolic links.
* deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
* lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
area.
(mk_mode_string): ditto.
* dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
* dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
package removal.
* dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
* deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
is a Debian archive before doing anything.
* deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
is a Debian archive before doing anything.
* deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
* deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
--remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
link never being removed at all.
ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.
