12	This is a WIP release, command line interfaces will change... This is a WIP release, command line interfaces will change. [ Guillem Jover ] * Move <config.h> and <compat.h> to the top of trigdeferred.l to properly use the configured features and compat code. * Honour --disable-nls when the system lacks obstack support, by updating the obstack compat module from gnulib. * Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems needing them will compile correctly. * Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide the compat one in case the systems lacks it. * Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite. * Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls. * Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>. Closes: #643746 * Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This: - Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required. - Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs. * Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when debian/control does not have any package stanza. Closes: #642473 Based on a patch by Kyle Willmon <kylewillmon@gmail.com>. * Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option. Closes: #642802 * Do not segfault on GNU/Linux when dpkg cannot retrieve the block size for the filesystem containing the info database. LP: #872734 * Fix two memory leaks per tar entry in the tar extractor used on unpack. * Mark dpkg and dselect as Multi-Arch foreign. Reported by Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>. * Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217 Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>. * Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884 Thanks to Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org>. * Return correct status on start-stop-daemon --status when using --pidfile. * Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all compressors except gzip. * Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915 * Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion. * Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code. * Add missing ‘’ in asprintf() and vasprintf() compat declarations. Add support for virtual output binary:Summary and db:Status-Abbrev fields. Closes: #192619, #427945 * Add support for virtual output source:Package and source:Version fields. Closes: #653575 * Use a different temporary file per process on libcompat's vsnprintf() function to avoid race conditions from children after fork(3). Reported by Daniel Ruoso <daniel@ruoso.com>. Closes: #655411 * Fix start-stop-daemon --exec and --name options on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD by swapping the process matching implementations. * Fix start-stop-daemon --name option on GNU/Hurd to match the process name. * Document in more detail the implications of start-stop-daemon matching options. Closes: #367608 * Improve and clarify dpkg-shlibdeps superfluous linking warning messages. Based on a patch by Peter Eisentraut <petere@debian.org>. Closes: #656496 [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * Update Dpkg::Shlibs to look into multiarch paths when cross-building too. Closes: #595144 * Rewrite architecture.mk with explicit loops instead of duplicating many similar lines. Based on a patch by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>. * Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous updates. Closes: #642608 Add libfile-fcntllock-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module to handle the locking. * Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248 * Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch. * Error out if a dpkg database .list file is not a regular file. LP: #369898 * Fix dpkg-mergechangelogs to not error out on invalid versions. Closes: #651993 * Fix dpkg-source --commit on "3.0 (quilt)" when an explicit patch file is given with a relative filename. Closes: #652414 * Further clarify in dpkg-source(1) the conditions under which it's possible to pass an explicit patch file to dpkg-source --commit. * Add new --query-features command to dpkg-buildflags. Thanks to Kees Cook for the patch. Closes: #651481 * Fix description of Multi-Arch in deb-control(5). Closes: #654453 Thanks to Jakub Wilk for spotting the mistake. * Drop misleading spaces in deb-symbols(5) in the format description. * Clean up dpkg-architecture(1) dropping useless information and adding a reference to /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk. * Update dpkg-buildpackage to use the "build-arch" (for -B) and "build-indep" (for -A) targets unless "make -qn" says that they do not exist. Closes: #229357 [ Jonathan Nieder ] * Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370 [ Helge Kreutzmann ] * Fix a typo in man/dpkg-deb.1. [ Updated dpkg translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). * Italian (Milo Casagrande).

Closes: #654626 [ Updated dselect translations ] * Dutch (Jeroen Schot). Closes: #651813	Cyril Brulebois	1.16.2~multiarch	12 years ago
9	[ Guillem Jover ] [ Guillem Jover ] * Fix two memory leaks introduced in 1.15.6. * Always use C99 variadic macros, as the build requires them anyway, we avoid exposing the configure variable HAVE_C99 on installed headers. * Use __attribute__ keyword depending on compiler support, we avoid exposing the configure variable HAVE_C_ATTRIBUTE on installed headers. * Do not allow a --retry schedule in start-stop-daemon where forever is the last item, as it needs something to repeat over. Closes: #570938 * Show dselect dependency/conflicts resolution screen again, by switching the code to use STL's min() and max() instead of preprocessor macros, to avoid multiple evaluation of arguments. Regression introduced in 1.15.6. Based on a patch by Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org>. Closes: #574816 * Defer the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction so that it's done in one pass afterwards, to avoid massive I/O degradation due to the serialization from each write + fsync. This restores extraction times to numbers closer to the ones before the fsync patch introduced in 1.15.6. [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * Accept source packages without "Format" field for compatibility with very old source packages. Thanks to Colin Watson for the report and the patch. Closes: #574097 [ Updated dpkg translations ] * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated scripts translations ] * Swedish (Peter Krefting).	Guillem Jover	1.15.6.1	14 years ago
8	[ Raphaël Hertzog ] [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * debian/control: Add the accent on my first name. * Perl API cleanup: - rename Dpkg::Deps dump() methods into output([$fh]), overload string representation ("$dep") to provide the result of $dep->output() - prefix public functions in Dpkg::Deps with deps_ and export them by default - rename Dpkg::Source::Compressor in Dpkg::Compression::Process - rename Dpkg::Source::CompressedFile in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle and completely redesign its API - update Dpkg::Compression's API to use compression_* functions instead of granting direct access to variables, integrate there management of default compression - introduce Dpkg::Interface::Storable and update many modules to make use of it - update Dpkg::BuildOptions to provide an object-oriented interface - update Dpkg::Checksums to provide an object-oriented interface * Drop debian-maintainers from Suggests since it's obsolete, the corresponding keyring is in debian-keyring. * Merge support of symbol patterns in dpkg-gensymbols. Thanks to Modestas Vainius for his work (see further for more details). * Accept filename with spaces and colon in the output of objdump. Required so that dpkg-shlibdeps support such files properly. Thanks to Raphaël Geissert for the patch. Closes: #565712 * When unpacking a "3.0 (quilt)" source package, tell quilt where patches are (to be) stored. Requires quilt >= 0.48-5 to work. Closes: #557619 * Fix update-alternatives to not try to reinstall an unknown alternative when the link group is broken, instead switch to the best choice in automatic mode. Closes: #566406 * Don't return duplicate bug numbers in Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed:. Thanks to Brian Murray <brian@ubuntu.com> for the report and the patch. Closes: #569618 * Add $VERSION numbers to all perl modules. Closes: #465256 1.00 and higher means that the API should be stable * While parsing diff's output, accept any sentence that contains the word differ (as specified by POSIX) to identify that binary files could not be compared. Closes: #570008 * dpkg-gencontrol does no longer accept arch-specific dependencies in arch: all packages. Closes: #560071 * dpkg-gencontrol no longer warns if a substitution variable provided by -V is not used (the warning is meant to catch unused substitutions coming from the file, those are package specific with debhelper). Closes: #557133 * dpkg-gencontrol now indicates which package is concerned by the substvars warning that it displays. Closes: #566837 * dpkg-buildpackage now supports options --source-option=<opt> and --changes-option=<opt> to forward arbitrary options to dpkg-source and dpkg-genchanges respectively. Closes: #566230 * The -T option of dpkg-{source,gencontrol,genchanges} can now be used multiple times to read substitution variables from multiple files. Closes: #363323 * dpkg-source now supports an option --create-empty-orig in formats "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" to auto-create the main original tarball when there are supplementary tarballs. This makes it easier to bundle multiple software together. Closes: #554488 * dpkg-source supports long option names --diff-ignore and --tar-ignore for -i and -I. A new option --extend-diff-ignore is introduced. Those options can thus now be used in debian/source/options. * Generate manual pages for perl modules. * Introduce the libdpkg-perl package and clarify its status in README.api. * Update Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes needed). * Drop unused lintian override for arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share on dselect. * The rewritten Dpkg::Checksums deals properly with filenames with spaces. Closes: #572030 * dpkg-source does no longer fallback to other source formats if the requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459 * Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target directory. Fixes CVE-2010-0396. * Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due to the -B .pc/$path option that it gets. [ Guillem Jover ] * Handle argument parsing in dpkg-checkbuilddeps and dpkg-scanpackages in a way consistent with the rest of the tools. * Recognize --help in addition to -h in dpkg-checkbuilddeps. * Add a --version option to dpkg-checkbuilddeps. * Improve and mark more messages in writedb() to make translators lifes easier. Closes: #408525 * Improve update-alternatives --display output to use two leading spaces for current link and slave information. Use single quotes for both “best” and the alternative it's pointing to. Closes: #549167 * Refer to “half configured” instead of “failed config” in «dpkg-query -l» header and dselect package status printing for consistency. * Make “dpkg-statoverride --quiet” actually do something, and quiesce most of the inoquous warning messages. Closes: #403211 * Make “dpkg-statoverride --update --add” fail if it cannot update the mode and owner of the file. This would fail later on when dpkg itself applies the overrides, so better to signal this earlier. * Add sparc64 to cputable. Thanks to Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>. Closes: #560010 * Do not allow diverting a file to itself, which makes the file to get removed. Closes: #312206 * Make the check for duplicate fields in a stanza in libdpkg actually work, which now makes it fatal, as was intended originally. This should not cause problems for anything using dpkg-dev to build packages as those are already fatal on that case. * Add new deb-split(5) man page. * Fix misspellings of “explicitly” all over the place. * Normalize ar member names when reading (removing trailing spaces and slash), this allows deb-split packages be created with GNU ar. * Validate compression level on dpkg-deb argument parsing. * Fix error handling, clean up and refactor compression code. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for several of the patches. * Do not print unambiguous epoch on dpkg file overwrite error. * Rename Dpkg::IPC::fork_and_exec() to Dpkg::IPC::spawn(). * Change dpkg-dev to Depend on perl instead of perl5 and perl-modules. * Fix small memory leaks related to scandir() in dpkg-deb and libdpkg. * Fix dpkg-query and dpkg-trigger to actually print a version on --version. * Always spawn a new shell on conffile prompt, instead of supporting self backgrounding, remove DPKG_NO_TSTP environment variable support. Closes: #38334 * Set DPKG_SHELL_REASON, DPKG_CONFFILE_OLD and DPKG_CONFFILE_NEW environment variables when spawning a shell for conffile examination. Closes: #60329 Thanks to Daniel Martin <Daniel.Martin@jhu.edu> for the idea. * Add support for disabling update-alternatives at configure time using --withouth-update-alternatives. * Add support for disabling install-info at configure time using --withouth-install-info. * Update debian/copyright. * Use Debian instead of ‘Debian GNU/Linux’ when referring to the distribution. * On dpkg --no-act with --install, --unpack or --record-avail, and dpkg-deb --info or --field use mkdtemp() to create a temporary directory instead of insecure tempnam() or tmpnam() functions. * Remove --license and --licence options from tools. * Securely remove newly installed files when rolling-back a failed unpack. * Change default lzma compression level from 9 to 6. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch. * Add support for xz compressed data.tar member of binary packages. Add xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends. Closes: #542160 Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the initial patch. * Use xz command to handle lzma compressed files in dpkg and dpkg-dev. This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies. * Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building. The proper solution to this is to let the build system choose the appropriate pkg-config binary for the build or host system in the same way pkg.m4 is handling it now. Closes: #551118 * Dynamically link against all external libraries. This includes libbz2 and zlib for dpkg-deb and and libselinux for dpkg on GNU/Linux. * Mark the libdpkg.a API as volatile and require any possible users to set LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API to acknowledge that fact. * Add a new libdpkg-dev package with the headers and the static library, although its API should be considered volatile. * Reorganize the doc contents that goes into each package: - README.multicd only in dselect. - README.api only in development packages, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-dev. - triggers.txt only in dpkg-dev. * Move source.lintian-overrides to debian/source/lintian-overrides. * Switch SE Linux support to explicitly set path context. This fixes the mislabeling of files under <admindir> on conffile extraction or on unpack errors, due to improper default context restoration. Closes: #498438 * Use FIEMAP when available (on Linux based systems) to sort the .list files loading order. With a cold cache it improves up to a 70%. Thanks to Morten Hustveit <morten@debian.org>. * When FIEMAP is not available use posix_fadvise() to start preloading the .list files before loading them. With a cold cache it improves up to 40%. Thanks to Stefan Fritsch <sf@sfritsch.de>. Closes: #557560 * Call fsync(2) after writting files on disk, to get the atomicity guarantees when doing rename(2). Based on a patch by Jean-Baptiste Lallement <jeanbaptiste.lallement@gmail.com>. Closes: #430958 * Call fsync(2) on database directories after creating, renaming or unlinking files, to guarantee the new file entry is correctly listed in the directory. Base on a patch by Jean-Baptiste Lallement <jeanbaptiste.lallement@gmail.com>. * Document in the man page the effects of setting TMPDIR for dpkg and dpkg-deb, HOME for dselect and dpkg and PAGER for dpkg. Closes: #572836 * Document the exit codes for dpkg-query. Closes: #571798 * Document “dpkg-query -l” abbreviated state information in the man page. Based on a patch by Marc-Jano Knopp <pub_br_debian.org@marc-jano.de>. Closes: #383869 * Honour LINGUAS environment variable when installing translated man pages. * Allow disabling at configure time Unicode ncurses support for dselect. Based on a patch by Yuri Vasilevski <yvasilev@gentoo.org>. [ Modestas Vainius ] * Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template. While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols), patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported: - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by c++filt); - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented on top of the new framework; - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression. Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense. * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation, patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result, dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets. * Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according to the rules of dpkg-name. * Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols. * Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before (Closes: #568228). [ Jonathan Nieder ] * Fix a file handle leak in “dpkg-deb --info”. Thanks to Raphael Geissert for the report and patch. [ Helge Kreutzmann ] * Add dpkg-gensymbols.1 to the translatable man page set.

7	[ Guillem Jover ] [ Guillem Jover ] * Do not suggest manually changing the alternative symlinks on update-alternative's verbose mode. Closes: #412487 * Refactor subprocess signal setup. * Mark and coalesce similar strings for translation. * Add '.be' to the default dpkg-source -i regex. Closes: #481716 Based on a patch by Ben Finney. * Fix link order when using libcompat.a and libintl.a by placing them after libdpkg.a. Based on a patch by Martin Koeppe. Closes: #481805 * Remove duplicate program name from dpkg-trigger badusage output. * Trim trailing slash and slash dot from 'dpkg -S' arguments when those are path names, but not on patterns. Closes: #129577 * Fix the support for passing more than one --status-fd option to dpkg. Until now only the last one was being used. * Replace realloc plus error checking usage with m_realloc. * Add '.hgignore' to the default dpkg-source -i regex and -I pattern. Closes: #485365 * Support diverting files when origin and destination are on different file systems. Based on a patch by Juergen Kreileder. Closes: #102144, #149961 * Do not silently enable --rename on dpkg-divert --remove. Closes: #160848 * Do not allocate memory when lstat fails during package upgrade. * Properly lstat the correct file when using --root on package upgrade. Thanks to Egmont Koblinger. Closes: #281057 * Print a longer string when a disallowed field value is found when parsing. * Use $(filter ...) instead of $(findstring ...) to extract space separated options from DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in debian/rules. * Do not leave new conffile as .dpkg-new when it has been diverted, also properly activate the file trigger for the diverted conffile. Based on a patch by Timothy G Abbott. Closes: #58735, #476899 * Improve comment on BUGS section in dpkg-deb.1 about lack of authentication and checksum support in .deb files.

[ Raphael Hertzog ] * Enhance dpkg-shlibdeps's error message when a library can't be found to include the ELF format of the desired library. Closes: #474671 * dpkg-gensymbols now refuses empty values for the the -v -P and -e parameters. * Update dpkg(1) to refer to conffile whenever we speak of configuration file handled by dpkg. Thus harmonize vocabulary with the policy. Thanks to Helge Kreutzmann <debian@helgefjell.de>. Closes: #381219 * Improve error message stating that dpkg is unable to create a file so that it also refers to the real filename instead of the non-diverted name only. Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch. Closes: #457135 * dpkg-gencontrol can now again read the control file from its standard input with "-c-". Closes: #465340 * Add DEB_VENDOR environment variable in the build environment to be able to change behaviour dynamically depending on the vendor of the current system (or target system when the user overrides DEB_VENDOR by setting it himself). Closes: #457371 * dpkg-shlibdeps give less strong warnings for symbols not found in NEEDED libraries when the shared library is a non-public directory and is likely to be a plugin. Closes: #481165 * Clarify list of packages displayed by dpkg --get-selections and dpkg-query -l. Thanks to Jidanni. Closes: #487455 * Document -A option in dpkg-buildpackage(1).

Thanks to Timothy G Abbott <tabbott@MIT.EDU> for the patch. Closes: #485012 * Add new option --require-valid-signature to dpkg-source. Closes: #390282 * In dpkg-query(1) document the origin of the various fields and warn that they are not always available. Closes: #488293 * Improve error message in install-info when the file doesn't exist. Thanks to Thomas Hood <jdthood@yahoo.co.uk>. Closes: #107098 * Use description of installed package as fallback in dselect. Based on a patch from Bruce Sass <bmsass@shaw.ca>. Closes: #21659 * Reduce memory usage of dselect by avoiding usage of a big infopad. Thanks to Michel Lespinasse <walken@zoy.org> for the patch. Closes: #395140 * Largely improve and update dpkg-buildpackage's manual page. * Clarify two points in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #490693 * Support RUNPATH exactly like RPATH in dpkg-shlibdeps. Closes: #502258 Thanks to Javier Serrano Polo <jasp00@terra.es>. * Set Standards-Version to 3.8.0 (no changes needed). * Drop some unneeded lintian overrides. * Fix a chmod call in dpkg-source to not fail when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Closes: #506028 * Optimize dpkg-shlibdeps by caching parsed symbols files and objdump objects. Thanks to Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu> for the patch. Closes: #503954 * Add new framework to hook vendor-specific logic (see module Dpkg::Vendor::Default). * Add Ubuntu vendor object implementing lookup of launchpad bugs in changelogs and a safety-check for Maintainer fields of forked packages (launched during source build). Closes: #426752, #499924 * Improve behaviour of update-alternatives --config. Thanks to Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org> for the initial patch. We can know select between manual and auto in --config and --all. Closes: #392430 * Fix update-alternatives to not switch to manual mode an alternative with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it). Also ensure that a message is displayed by default when such a switch is made. Closes: #141325, #87677 * Fix update-alternatives' logic to rename files. It failed to ignore errors in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist. Closes: #99870 This also makes update-alternatives less noisy when this happens since we don't call mv when we know that it's going to fail. Closes: #98822 * Properly remove inappropriate slave links in update-alternatives even when we switch to manual mode with --set or --config. Closes: #388313 * Modify update-alternatives to always remove the alternative group when the last alternative is removed (even in manual mode). * Ensure that update-alternative --install fix the links if the alternative installed is the one currently selected. Closes: #100135 * Let update-alternatives deal with empty files in its administrative directory by ignoring them. Closes: #457863 * Add new --target and --as-root options to dpkg-buildpackage to call any debian/rules target with the proper build environment. Closes: #477916 * Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see http://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html). Closes: #216606 * Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper (>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatility level to 6 at the same time. * Drop cleanup-info script. * Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions. Closes: #516481 * Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and implement new features on top of it: - the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060 - it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270 - it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa. Closes: #342566 - it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives - new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176 - install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available. Closes: #143701 - new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429 - new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in a single command. * Document in update-alternatives(8) how one can repair all broken alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556 * Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing symbols files so that package having libraries whose name varies between architectures do not need to hardcode the package name.

Closes: #510755 * Do not lose conffiles while replacing them from another package on the same install run. Closes: #513857 As a side effect this fixes the following symptoms: - Do not do unneeded conffile prompts when it wasn't locally changed. - Do not ensure (and thus do not output debug information) that the .dpkg-new and .dpkg-tmp directories for an existing directory do not exist. Closes: #80416 [ Raphael Hertzog ] * dpkg-deb now always produces GNU tarballs inside .deb and ignores TAR_OPTIONS. Closes: #513863 [ Updated dpkg translations ] * Basque (Piarres Beobide).

5	[ Raphael Hertzog ] [ Raphael Hertzog ] * Fix parsing of objdump output (by dpkg-shlibdeps) in a special case where the symbol name is separated only with a single space. Closes: #506139 * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps behaviour when Build-Depends-Package is used in the symbols file. It was merging all dependency templates into the generated dependency instead of simply modifying the minimal version. Thanks to Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>. Closes: #507346 * Fix dpkg-source to correctly extract a source package even when called from a non-writable directory when a target directory has been specified on the command line. Closes: #507217, #507219 [ Guillem Jover ] * Do not allow installing packages with non-obsolete conffiles owned by other packages without a proper Replaces field.

Closes: #504135 [ Guillem Jover ] * Untangle fatal abort condition from the “too many errors” one in the archives and packages processing loop. Closes: #367226 * Abort on unrecoverable fatal errors instead of continuing execution, as the recovery code assumed the execution would not be reaching it again and some times bogus update files were created either with incompletely written content or with '#padding' lines.

Now always provide a valid name in QUILT_SERIES. Closes: #496920 * Fix permissions of the automatically generated pacth in "2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" format. They were improperly set to 0600 due to tempfile() and were not reset to a sane value. Closes: #496925 * Fix dpkg-gensymbols to not scan (real) directories accessed through a symlink contained in the build tree as they may well not be part of the package (with absolute symlinks). It was already skipping symlinks (since 1.14.16.6) for similar reasons. [ Updated dpkg translations ] * Basque (Piarres Beobide).
