Superseded in vivid-release on 2015-04-10

Deleted in vivid-proposed on 2015-04-11 (Reason: moved to release)

dpkg (1.17.24ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable, which pulls in bugfixes, and disables
    dependency checks on trigger processing, quieting trigger cycles.

1.17.23ubuntu1

Superseded in vivid-release on 2015-03-21

Deleted in vivid-proposed on 2015-03-23 (Reason: moved to release)

dpkg (1.17.23ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
      until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
    - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
      tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
      same time having translated debconf prompts.
    - Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
    - Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
      arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
      when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
    - Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
      during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
    - Bump fontconfig Breaks to match Ubuntu version; can be reverted after
      vivid ships, as the Debian Breaks version was higher than trusty's.
    - Add ureadahead to the long list of trigger-related Breaks as well.
  * Remove multiarch upgrade code from postinst, which is no longer needed.

Superseded in vivid-release on 2015-01-17

Deleted in vivid-proposed on 2015-01-18 (Reason: moved to release)

dpkg (1.17.21ubuntu2) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick from Debian (LP: #1394893)
    + Add Breaks on old man-db, fontconfig and readahead-fedora packages using
      awaiting triggers, as they produce trigger cycles. Closes: #768599
  * Modify the above to specify the version of fontconfig that included this
    change in Ubuntu, and to add ureadahead.

    - Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.

    - Add logic to the postinst to `dpkg --add-architecture i386' on new

  * Drop obsolete migration code and guards from pre-trusty dpkg versions.

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:

    - On upgrade from 1.16.0~ubuntu[1-3], if /var/lib/dpkg/info/$arch is a
      directory, migrate the contents to var/lib/dpkg/info; and handle the
      reverse on downgrade.  This does not handle metadata for packages of
      foreign architectures.
    - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
      tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
      same time having translated debconf prompts.  This is useful for tools
      that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
      reporting with the untranslated error message.
    - Add /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch as a conffile on amd64, so that
      users are guaranteed to always have it after upgrade even if they
      don't use update-manager for the upgrade itself.
    - Continue exporting compiler flags in dpkg-buildpackage until after
      Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
    - Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
      using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option.
