Changelog
dpkg (1.18.23) unstable; urgency=medium
* Handle unmatched arch-qualified virtual packages in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
instead of letting perl die. Closes: #849944
* Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0.
* Do not depend on cxxabi.h to have declared __cxa_pure_virtual, use
the same “__cxxabiv1” namespace as specified in the C++ ABI, instead
of using the “abi” alias intended for use by userland.
Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger <email address hidden>.
* Add a comment on any C code switch case that falls through. Fixes new
gcc-7 warnings.
* Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() in libdpkg when constructing the ar
member header, as we might overflow depending on the input data.
* Portability:
- Do not redeclare sys_siglist in libcompat when the system does so.
Thanks to Thomas Klausner <email address hidden>.
- Rename err variable to ret in start-stop-daemon as the former is a
function on BSDs.
- Use 5-argument kvm_getprocs() call form on OpenBSD in start-stop-daemon.
- Use correct struct kinfo_proc ruid submember name on NetBSD in
start-stop-daemon.
- Define _KMEMUSER for NetBSD to get declarations for various
struct kinfo_proc members in start-stop-daemon.
* Perl modules:
- Do not special case EM_SPARC32PLUS for NetBSD in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump,
the code has been fixed in NetBSD as that situation could not happen.
- Fix read() error handling in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format() to
gracefully ignore non-ELF files again. Closes: #854536
- Emit an explicit warning from Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::Object::analyze()
for unknown executable formats instead of relying on objdump doing so.
- Do not parse bogus ELF binaries in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format().
Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
- Add ‘.mnt-ignore’ to the default ignore lists in Dpkg::Source::Package,
as we were already ignoring the ‘_MTN’ pathnames. Closes: #855450
Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez <email address hidden>.
- Mark kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64 architectures as
having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Switch PIE handling in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian to have no default (!) and
delegate the setting to gcc or an explicit request by a user. This is
needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and
the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg
build flags. Closes: #848129, #845550
* Documentation:
- Clarify the requirements for deb-conffile(5) pathnames. Closes: #854417
Proposed by Dieter Adriaenssens <email address hidden>.
- Document dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build in --help output.
- Document dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps in --help output.
* Build system:
- Check <sys/proc.h> by also including <sys/param.h>, on several BSD
systems the header is not self-contained.
- Handle libmd implementations built into system libc, as found on some
BSD systems.
- Do not fail on missing compression libraries or headers on automatic
detection mode. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.14.
* Test suite:
- Use the detected perl interpreter instead of a random one from PATH.
[ Updated programs translations ]
* Dutch (Frans Spiesschaert). Closes: #856325
[ Updated scripts translations ]
* German (Helge Kreutzmann).
[ Updated man pages translations ]
* Dutch (Frans Spiesschaer). Closes: #856326
