Changelog
dpkg (1.16.3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not look for newline beyond the read buffer on dpkg-deb extract.
* Check update-alternative name and link arguments for all commands.
Closes: #665050
* Check all dpkg-divert filename arguments to be absolute and to not
contain newlines. Closes: #21722
* Print errors while reading the file list files on a new line instead
of just after the progress percentage. Closes: #552517
* Document in dpkg-source(1) that patches for source format “3.0 (quilt)”
are expected to apply without any fuzz. Closes: #666752
Based on a patch by Luca Capello <email address hidden>.
* Remove redundant -Wformat-security from default dpkg-buildflags, which
is already implied by -Werror=format-security. Closes: #664964
Suggested by Peter Eisentraut <email address hidden>.
* Document in dpkg-query(1) that commands producing multiple paragraphs
will preserve the order of the packages specified on the argument list.
* Change start-stop-daemon --exec on GNU/Hurd, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
and Solaris to check for executables matching device and inode numbers
instead of filenames.
* Change start-stop-daemon --name on GNU/Hurd to check the process' argv[1]
in addition to argv[0], to handle both binaries and interpreted scripts.
Reported by Mats Erik Andersson <email address hidden>.
* Handle deb format versions as major.minor integers instead of strings or
floats, the latter being susceptible to parsing errors depending on the
current locale (although this was only affecting the old deb format).
* Ignore the minor format version number for deb-split format, unifying
the behaviour with the deb format.
* Add support for an abitable containing arch attribute overrides.
* Add x32 support to abitable, ostable and triplettable. Closes: #667037
* Fix start-stop-daemon to work with relative --exec arguments and --chdir.
Closes: #669047
* Ignore request to rename a file owned by the diverting package on
«dpkg-divert --add --rename». Closes: #588077
* Clarify dpkg-gensymbols(1) by way of examples that architecture wildcards
are supported in symbols files. Closes: #670048
* Fix memory leak due to Dpkg::Control objects not being garbage-collected.
Thanks to Ben Harris <email address hidden>. Closes: #669012
* Compute the md5sum hash on unpack for empty files too, so that these
can be checked correctly for matching content when installing multiple
package instances.
* Generate md5sums files automatically at unpack time if missing from the
binary package. Closes: #155676, #155799
* Add missing list and md5sums database file checks to «dpkg --audit».
