Change logs for dpkg source package in Xenial

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.7) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Add Zstandard (zstd) decompression support for binary packages
        (LP: #1764220)
        - The changes to ./configure and *.in files were cherry-picked from a
          manual autoreconf run because the package build does not run
          autoreconf automatically and the full delta from autoreconf
          was very big.

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.6) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Cherry-pick upstream fixes for trigger loops (LP: #1828639)
        - dpkg: Negate tortoise_not_in_hare() function name and return value
        - dpkg: Initialize trigcyclenode's next member once
        - dpkg: Factor trigproc_new_cyclenode() out from check_trigger_cycle()
        - dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as istobe normal
        - dpkg: Switch dependtry from an int to an enum
        - dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected into the current iteration
        - dpkg: Split trigger processing types into required, try-queued and try-deferred
        - dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
        - dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional
        - dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing
        - dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger cycle checks

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.5) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Apply patch from upstream to add frontend locking (LP: #1796081):
        - 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.

      * Cherry-pick d01212f2d7e59fc713c66b5d60421ac2296c1463 from 1.18.5:
        - Allow detached upstream orig tarball signatures when extracting
          version 1.0 non-native source packages (LP: #1751114)

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.3) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Use ohshit() instead of internerr() for unhandled dpkg-split exit
        codes. (i.e. do not abort). Closes: #812679, LP: #1601998

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.2) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Cherry-pick patch from git to limit preallocation to files over
        16KiB, fixing installation performance regression (LP: #1663749)

  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.1) xenial; urgency=medium
    
        * Add Breaks on ufw (<< 0.35-0ubuntu2~) for trigger loops (LP: #1571174)
    
     -- Adam Conrad <email address hidden>  Thu, 12 May 2016 04:35:55 -0600
  • dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
    
      * Merge from Debian testing; remaining changes in the Ubuntu delta:
        - 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).
        - Carry over Breaks/Conflicts for triggers/upgrades until post-16.04.
    
    dpkg (1.18.4) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Guillem Jover ]
      * Switch dpkg-scansources and dpkg-scanpackages to use File::Find instead
        of find(1), as the former is more portable with more consistent behavior,
        and always canonicalizes the pathnames. Closes: #800649
      * Initialize Config-Version also for packages previously in triggers-pending
        state, otherwise we end up not passing the previously configured version
        to «postinst configure», which might consider this a first install instead
        of an upgrade. Closes: #801156
      * Fix memory leaks in «dpkg --verify» and dpkg infodb format upgrade logic.
      * Merge all update-alternatives action handling into a single if-else-if
        block, to unify the code an allow a future switch into a shared library.

        --remove commands.
      * Make dpkg-architecture warning on non-matching GNU system type compiler

      * Fix an off-by-one write access in dpkg-deb when parsing the old format
        .deb control member size. Thanks to Hanno Böck <email address hidden>.

      * Fix an off-by-one read access in dpkg-deb when parsing ar member names.
        Thanks to Hanno Böck <email address hidden>.
      * Add experimental multithreaded xz compression support in libdpkg, which
        requires xz >= 5.2.0.
      * Fix physical file offset comparison in dpkg. Closes: #808912
        Thanks to Yuri Gribov <email address hidden>.
      * Fix usage of dpkg-architecture -s after other action options.
        Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
      * Add NIOS2 support to cputable. Thanks to Marek Vasut <email address hidden>.

      * Test suite:
        - Improve perl code test coverage.
      * Build system:
        - Set PERL5LIB globally for the test suite to the local modules directory,
          to avoid using the system modules. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.8.
          Reported by Jérémy Bobbio <email address hidden>. Closes: #801329
        - Use absolute buildir pathnames in PATH variable for the test suite.
        - Descend into scripts directory when cleaning up code coverage files.
        - Add new configure option --disable-devel-docs to select the kind of docs
          to generate, default for now is development documentation.
        - Try to use AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION to benefit from the latest
          installed gettext version, while guaranteeing a minimal required version.
      * Packaging:
        - Add missing Build-Depends for restriction formula support.
      * Documentation:
        - Move description for “target architecture” from the dpkg-architecture(1)
          ‘-A’ option to the TERMS section. Closes: #799046
        - Clarify that the md5sum check on «dpkg --verify» is performed on the
          file contents, and failures denote changed content. Closes: #760248

        - Clarify role of Build-Depends in deb-src-control(5).
          Prompted by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.

      [ Guillem Jover ]
      * Fix short-lived memory leaks in start-stop-daemon. As a side effect now
        a missing group after ‘:’ on --chuid is a fatal error.
      * Print the master and slave links in «update-alternatives --display».
      * Print the current best alternative in the head instead of the trail
        in «update-alternatives --display», with a two space indentation.
      * Reimplement «update-alternatives --all» as a fully built-in command
        instead of executing itself with --config per subtask.
      * Reimplement «update-alternatives --set-selections» as a fully built-in
        command instead of executing itself with --set or --auto per subtask.
      * Add kfreebsd-armhf support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #796283

          extraction in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Closes: #796671
        - Do not abort on parse errors from Time::Piece->strptime() for the
          changelog trailer date, just queue them so that the caller can decide
          if they should be warnings or actual errors. Closes: #795936
        - Validate the changelog trailer date, and catch and warn or error on
          bogus month names, such as unknown or unabbreviated ones.
      * Test suite:
        - Get the reference build flags from dpkg-buildflags.pl, instead of
          hardcoding them, which might not match depending on the architecture.
          Closes: #794694
        - Delete any environment variable starting with DEB_ in mk.t that might
