Changelog
dpkg (1.17.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Keep the diversions and statoverride database files open during dpkg
runs, to avoid eager inode number reuse by the filesystem if these files
get replaced multiple times in maintainer scripts, as we rely on the
inode numbers being different when checking if the databases need to
be reloaded. Regression introduced in 1.17.2. Closes: #731524
* Add debug output to diversions and statoverride database loading code.
* Reset the statoverrides information from the in-core database when
reloading it from disk, otherwise removals in maintainer scripts will
not be seen during the current dpkg run.
* Get rid of dpkg-split global partqueue queue variable.
* Use warningv() in dpkg instead of ad-hoc printing message when
overriding with --force option.
* Switch URLs in docs and code comments from http:// to https:// if the
latter is available.
