Changelog
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.
* Perform any necessary cleanups on normal exit from dpkg-divert --add and
--remove commands.
* Make dpkg-architecture warning on non-matching GNU system type compiler
agnostic.
* Add ‘.gitreview’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists.
* Add support for DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG environment variable to dpkg.
* Fix dpkg-checkbuilddeps exit code to be 1 instead of a random error value
on unsatisfied dependencies. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.3.
* 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>.
Fixes CVE-2015-0860.
* 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>.
* On Debian and derivatives enable timeless build flag feature by default.
Thanks to Paul Wise <email address hidden>. Closes: #805872
* Perl modules:
- Add support for Build-Essential field. Closes: #806315
* 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
- Document that dpkg-buildpacakge -nc -S implies -d.
- Clarify role of Build-Depends in deb-src-control(5).
Prompted by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.
- Document supported feature areas.
- Clarify in dpkg-query(1) when binary:Package gets arch-qualified.
Closes: #801958
- Add a subsection separating external from internal environment variables
in dpkg(1).
