dpkg (1.15.8.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Bump libdpkg-perl Depends on dpkg to 1.15.8, as it will break dpkg
versions before that when installing and removing libdpkg-perl,
because older update-alternatives and dpkg-divert require Dpkg.pm and
Dpkg/Gettext.pm which will disappear due to the Replaces. Closes: #590867
Thanks to Sven Joachim <email address hidden> for the analysis.
* Allow specifying again absolute and relative paths for dpkg-buildpackage
-r option. Closes: #591010
-- Guillem Jover <email address hidden> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 04:20:01 +0200
dpkg (1.15.8.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix off-by-one error in update-alternatives that lead to an infinite loop
while writing the administrative file. Closes: #590854
-- Raphaël Hertzog <email address hidden> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:18:16 +0200
dpkg (1.15.8) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Add new commands --before-build and --after-build to dpkg-source
and modify dpkg-buildpackage to call them automatically at the
start and at the end of the process. With "3.0 (quilt)" source packages
this ensures patches are applied even in case of binary-only builds.
Closes: #572526
* Merge non-regression test for Ubuntu's specificities concerning
changelog handling. Closes: #582389
* Fix some copy-paste mistakes in dpkg-architecture(1). Thanks to Ian Fleming
<email address hidden> for the patch and Colin Watson for forwarding out of
Launchpad. Closes: #582404 LP: #564308
* Clarify description of dpkg --configure in dpkg(1). Thanks to Colin Watson
for the patch and to Robert Persson for the report.
Closes: #582406 LP: #77287
* Fix the non-regression test lib/dpkg/test/t-ar.c by not overflowing the
size of ar_name. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report, analysis and patch.
Closes: #582401
* Modify Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump to use the cross objdump binary when cross
compiling. Thanks to Loïc Minier for the initial patch. Closes: #578365
* Make dpkg-maintscript-helper more robust when required parameters are
missing. Closes: #582814
* Clarify that dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile needs the last version of
the package that did not remove the obsolete conffile if this was not
implemented at the time the file became obsolete. Closes: #582893
* Enhance dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile and mv_conffile to work
properly when <lastversion> is not given (or is empty). Closes: #582819
* Small fix in dpkg-gensymbols' handling of tags. Closes: #583656
Thanks to Michael Tautschnig <email address hidden> for the report and the fix.
* update-alternatives has been rewritten in C, the only feature change
should be that it uses its own logfile /var/log/alternatives.log (rotated
like dpkg.log).
* Implement new --unapply-patches option for dpkg-source with source formats
2.0 and 3.0 (quilt) that unapplies the patches after a successful build.
This option can be put in debian/source/local-options in the package VCS
repository for instance.
* Implement new --abort-on-upstream-changes option for dpkg-source with
source formats 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt). It aborts every time that you try
to build a source package which contains (unmanaged) changes to the
upstream source code. Closes: #579012
* dpkg-source now captures the output of patch and prints it on error so
that the user can better diagnose what went wrong. Closes: #575304
* Fix Dpkg::Changelog to cope properly with an entry of version "0".
Add non-regression test for this. Closes: #587382
* Add --export command to dpkg-buildflags to be used in shell with eval.
* Modify source format "3.0 (git)" to use git bundles. Thanks to Joey Hess
for the patch.
The usage of git bundle avoids distributing cruft. Closes: #477954
It's no longer needed to tell which branch contains the debian packaging,
it uses automatically the one that was used at build-time. Closes: #534637
* Pass --no-name option to gzip to avoid encoding the timestamp in the file
so that the result is more predictable. Closes: #587724
Also pass --rsyncable to make source packages more rsync friendly.
* Replace dpkg-source's tar ignore pattern "*~" with "*/*~" to avoid
matching on the top level directory. Closes: #588265
* In source formats "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)", make sure to remove the
upstream-provided debian directory before copying the debian-provided
version of that directory in place. Closes: #590297
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Require gettext 0.18:
- Remove embedded gettext files from the repository, now properly
installed by autopoint for all po/ directories.
- Add versioned Build-Depends.
* Fix variable usage after delete in dselect.
* Change default configure admindir to LOCALSTATEDIR/lib/dpkg from
LOCALSTATEDIR/dpkg, so that we can use a correct --localstatedir=/var.
* Add two new dpkg options --path-exclude and --path-include for filtering
files on package installation. This allows embedded systems to skip
/usr/share/doc, manpages, etc. Based on work from Tollef Fog Heen and
Martin Pitt, thanks! Closes: #68788, #68861, #497304, #525567, #583902
* Remove obsolete internal status aliases “postinst-failed” for
stat_halfconfigured and “removal-failed” for stat_halfinstalled.
* Check version syntax when parsing it from libdpkg based programs.
Closes: #574704
* Rewrite mksplit in C, and merge it into dpkg-split.
* Rewrite dpkg-divert in C.
* Use linux-any wildcard for libselinux1-dev Build-Depends instead of
using a list of negated architectures.
* Use Breaks instead of Conflicts in dpkg, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl binary
packages.
* Move Dpkg.pm and Dpkg/Gettext.pm from dpkg to libdpkg-perl.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
* Detect when another process has locked the database, and mention that
problematic dpkg --audit results might be due to ongoing operations.
Closes: #80252
* Add new dpkg --force-confask option that forces a conffile prompt when
the conffile from the new package does not differ from the previous one.
Thanks to Henning Makholm <email address hidden>. Closes: #102609
* On dpkg-divert --rename, check if the source file exists, and disable
renaming if it does not. Closes: #550252
As a side effect, this avoids useless errors when the destination
directory is not existent or writable. Closes: #581544
* Properly compute the longest package description from all to be displayed
on “dpkg-query --list”, so that it does not get incorrectly trimmed.
* Consistently use earlier/later instead of smaller/bigger when describing
comparison relationships. Closes: #587641
* Stop exporting DPKG_LIBDIR to maintainer scripts, no need for it anymore.
* Assign correct SE Linux label on non-regular files. Based on a patch by
Russell Coker <email address hidden>. Closes: #587949
* Add -F option to dpkg-buildpackage to be able to explicitly specify a
normal full build and combine it with -nc. Closes: #547993
* Add missing mentions of the Breaks field alongside the other fields
sharing the same syntax in deb-control(5).
Thanks to Osamu Aoki <email address hidden>. Closes: #590472

dpkg (1.14.29) stable-security; urgency=high
* 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.
-- Raphael Hertzog <email address hidden> Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:25:05 +0100
dpkg (1.15.7.2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Update dpkg-buildflags to respect $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and to use
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dpkg/buildflags.conf by default.
* Update deb-substvars(5) to codify how variables containing multiple
lines must be managed.
* Fix boolean evaluation of Dpkg::Version so that version 0 evaluates to
false and dpkg-shlibdeps can strip the minimal version specification.
Closes: #579724
Document this behaviour in the API and add non-regression test to ensure
it's kept.
* Let dpkg-buildflags error out when a required parameter is missing.
Closes: #579722
* Add Bug-Ubuntu field in DEP-3 template provided in the automatic header
of patches in 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Thanks to Benjamin Drung
<email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #578002
* Update deb-override(5) by removing references to usage of sections
to place the packages on the mirrors and by indicating that the Debian
policy offers a list of allowed values for section and priority.
Closes: #575410
* Update reference to triggers.txt.gz in dpkg-trigger(1) and deb-triggers(5)
to match the new location. Closes: #580774
* Drop mention of PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage(1), the feature has
been removed in 1.15.6.
* Rename /usr/lib/dpkg/maintscript-helper into
/usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper, it is a public interface even if working
around known limitations.
* Add "supports" command to dpkg-maintscript-helper to ensure the wanted
command is supported before calling it.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add powerpcspe support to ostable and triplettable.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <email address hidden> and
Kyle Moffett <email address hidden>. Closes: #568123, #575158
* Fix dpkg --root by properly stripping again the root directory from the
path of the maintainer script to execute. Closes: #580984
* On Linux use sync() instead of an fsync() per file on deferred extraction,
to workaround performance degradation on ext4. Closes: #578635
[ Gerfried Fuchs ]
* Fix syntax error in dpkg-name. Closes: #581315
-- Guillem Jover <email address hidden> Wed, 19 May 2010 07:57:14 +0200
dpkg (1.15.7.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix dpkg-source -b (without -i) for source packages 1.0. Closes: #578693
It was erroneously ignoring all changes because the ignore regex was
wrong (due to the change to ignore debian/source/local-options).
* Add missing call to textdomain() in dpkg-mergechangelogs to make
translations work.

dpkg (1.15.6.1) experimental; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* 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
the last item, as it needs something to repeat over. Closes: #570938
* Show dselect dependency/conflicts resolution screen again, by switching
the code to use STL's min() and max() instead of preprocessor macros, to
avoid multiple evaluation of arguments. Regression introduced in 1.15.6.
Based on a patch by Robert Luberda <email address hidden>. Closes: #574816
* Defer the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction so that
it's done in one pass afterwards, to avoid massive I/O degradation due to
the serialization from each write + fsync. This restores extraction times
to numbers closer to the ones before the fsync patch introduced in 1.15.6.
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Accept source packages without "Format" field for compatibility with very
old source packages. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report and the patch.

| Superseded in experimental-release |
dpkg (1.15.6) experimental; urgency=low
[ 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.
Closes: #557619
* 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 <email address hidden> 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.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Handle argument parsing in dpkg-checkbuilddeps and dpkg-scanpackages
in a way consistent with the rest of the tools.
* Recognize --help in addition to -h in dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
* Add a --version option to dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
* Improve and mark more messages in writedb() to make translators lifes
easier. Closes: #408525
* Improve update-alternatives --display output to use two leading spaces
for current link and slave information. Use single quotes for both “best”
and the alternative it's pointing to. Closes: #549167
* 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 inoquous 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 <email address hidden>.
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().
* Change dpkg-dev to Depend on perl instead of perl5 and perl-modules.
* 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.
Closes: #38334
* Set DPKG_SHELL_REASON, DPKG_CONFFILE_OLD and DPKG_CONFFILE_NEW environment
variables when spawning a shell for conffile examination. Closes: #60329
Thanks to Daniel Martin <email address hidden> for the idea.
* Add support for disabling update-alternatives at configure time using
--withouth-update-alternatives.
* Add support for disabling install-info at configure time using
--withouth-install-info.
* Update debian/copyright.
* Use Debian instead of ‘Debian GNU/Linux’ when referring to the
distribution.
* 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.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch.
* 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 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%.
Thanks to Morten Hustveit <email address hidden>.
* When FIEMAP is not available use posix_fadvise() to start preloading the
.list files before loading them. With a cold cache it improves up to 40%.
Thanks to Stefan Fritsch <email address hidden>. Closes: #557560
* Call fsync(2) after writting files on disk, to get the atomicity
guarantees when doing rename(2). Based on a patch by
Jean-Baptiste Lallement <email address hidden>.
Closes: #430958
* Call fsync(2) on database directories after creating, renaming or
unlinking files, to guarantee the new file entry is correctly listed
in the directory. Base on a patch by
Jean-Baptiste Lallement <email address hidden>.
* Document in the man page the effects of setting TMPDIR for dpkg and
dpkg-deb, HOME for dselect and dpkg and PAGER for dpkg. Closes: #572836
* Document the exit codes for dpkg-query. Closes: #571798
* Document “dpkg-query -l” abbreviated state information in the man page.
Based on a patch by Marc-Jano Knopp <email address hidden>.
Closes: #383869
* Honour LINGUAS environment variable when installing translated man pages.
* Allow disabling at configure time Unicode ncurses support for dselect.
Based on a patch by Yuri Vasilevski <email address hidden>.
[ 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).
[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Fix a file handle leak in “dpkg-deb --info”. Thanks to Raphael Geissert
for the report and patch.

dpkg (1.14.28) stable; urgency=low
* Another round of updates concerning new source formats:
- fix dpkg-source to not complain on binary files that are ignored and are
not going to be included in the debian tarball of a "3.0 (quilt)" source
package. Closes: #524375
- let dpkg-source fail if several upstream orig.tar files are
available (using different compression scheme) since we don't know
which one to use.
- before accepting to build a 3.0 (quilt) source packages, ensure that
debian/patches is a directory (or non-existing) and that
debian/patches/series is a file (or non-existing). Closes: #557618
- modify implementation of "3.0 (quilt)" source format to not be
behave differently depending on whether quilt is installed or not.
The option --without-quilt is thus gone and dpkg-source creates and
relies on the .pc directory to know whether patches are applied or
not. Closes: #557667
-- Raphael Hertzog <email address hidden> Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:40:09 +0100
dpkg (1.15.5.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dpkg-source: with format "3.0 (quilt)" ensure quilt's .pc directory is
created before trying to register a new patch in .pc/applied-patches.
Thanks to Tommi Vainikainen <email address hidden> for the report and the
patch. Closes: #561237
* Fix dpkg-buildpackage to set "parallel=" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS instead of
the invalid "parallel=-1" when option "-j" is given. Closes: #562038
* Clarify how dpkg-source --print-format works and display messages on
STDERR when the requested format is discarded. Closes: #560391
* Add ${misc:Depends} in all Depends fields.

* Fix Dpkg::Index::get() and remove(). Thanks to Roderich Schupp
<email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #558595
* Modify implementation of "3.0 (quilt)" source format to not be
behave differently depending on whether quilt is installed or not.
The option --without-quilt is thus gone and dpkg-source creates
and relies on the .pc directory to know whether patches are applied
or not. Closes: #557667
* Add new dpkg-source option --single-debian-patch supported by the source
format "3.0 (quilt)" so that it behaves more like 1.0 and its single diff
that is constantly updated with all upstream changes. Useful if the
workflow is VCS based and can't generate a full patch set.

* 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,

* 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

* Fix dpkg's preinst in case /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives contains unexpected

* Create /etc/cron.daily/dpkg to handle the backup of
/var/lib/dpkg/status in /var/backups. This is taken out of the cron

information if the version provided is older than the one already listed
in the available file. Thanks to Ian Jackson

* 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

[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-genchanges to not include the additional upstream tarballs
when they are not desired (specific to source packages using format 3.0
quilt).
* 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 explicitely document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.

not going to be included in the debian tarball of a "3.0 (quilt)" source
package. Closes: #524375
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no change required).
* Do not store usernames and group names in tarballs created by dpkg-source,
they are anyway ignored at unpack time. Closes: #523184
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove real files installed in place of
an alternative link when the corresponding alternative is fully removed.
Closes: #526538
* 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,

directory by ignoring them. Closes: #457863
* Add new --target and --as-root options to dpkg-buildpackage to call
any debian/rules target with the proper build environment.
Closes: #477916
* Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin
but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release
until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html).
Closes: #216606
* Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper
(>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatility level to 6 at the same
time.
* Drop cleanup-info script.
* Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that
files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
Closes: #516481
* Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
implement new features on top of it:
- 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.
Closes: #143701
- new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
- new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
a single command.
* Document in update-alternatives(8) how one can repair all broken
alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556
* Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing
symbols files so that package having libraries whose name varies between
architectures do not need to hardcode the package name. Closes: #517264
[ Pierre Habouzit ]
* Add a --query option to update-alternatives. Closes: #336091, #441904

dpkg (1.14.25) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix typo in package description ('privides' -> 'provides').
Thanks to Pascal De Vuyst <email address hidden>. Closes: #510755
* Do not lose conffiles while replacing them from another package on the
same install run. Closes: #513857
As a side effect this fixes the following symptoms:
- Do not do unneeded conffile prompts when it wasn't locally changed.
- Do not ensure (and thus do not output debug information) that the
.dpkg-new and .dpkg-tmp directories for an existing directory do not
exist. Closes: #80416

[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Fix parsing of objdump output (by dpkg-shlibdeps) in a special case where
the symbol name is separated only with a single space. Closes: #506139
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps behaviour when Build-Depends-Package is used in the
symbols file. It was merging all dependency templates into the generated
dependency instead of simply modifying the minimal version. Thanks to
Modestas Vainius <email address hidden>. Closes: #507346

from a non-writable directory when a target directory has been specified
on the command line. Closes: #507217, #507219

* Blacklist "__gnu_local_gp" symbol for dpkg-gensymbols. Closes: #500188
Thanks to Thiemo Seufer <email address hidden>.
* Important bugfix in dpkg-gensymbols for people using includes in symbol
files: the current object didn't flow back from the included file to
the including file.

* Untangle fatal abort condition from the “too many errors” one in the
archives and packages processing loop. Closes: #367226
* Abort on unrecoverable fatal errors instead of continuing execution, as
the recovery code assumed the execution would not be reaching it again
and some times bogus update files were created either with incompletely
written content or with '#padding' lines. Closes: #497041, #499070

[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* The last "small fix" actually broke conversion of source packages to
"3.0 (quilt)" format when they have local changes and no pre-existing
quilt series file. Now always provide a valid name in QUILT_SERIES.
Closes: #496920
* Fix permissions of the automatically generated pacth in "2.0" and "3.0
(quilt)" format. They were improperly set to 0600 due to tempfile()
and were not reset to a sane value. Closes: #496925
* Fix dpkg-gensymbols to not scan (real) directories accessed through a
symlink contained in the build tree as they may well not be part of
the package (with absolute symlinks). It was already skipping symlinks
(since 1.14.16.6) for similar reasons.
