This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.16.3ubuntu1
---------------
dpkg (1.16.3ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low
* Merge with 1.16.3 from unstable:
- Change the multiarch downgrade version checks in prerm/postrm
from 1.16.2 to 1.16.0~ to reflect when multiarch landed in Ubuntu.
- Migrate dpkg multiarch conffile (and other multi-arch-related
conf settings) to the new DB with dpkg --add-architecture, but
keep a copy of the old conffile if it was modified.
- Out of paranoia, keep an option handler for foreign-architecture
that informs people that they need to scrub their config files
and upgrade, on the off chance that the above migration fails
for some reason (this mitigates the chances of leaving users with
a dpkg that fails to run due to a broken config).
* Changes remaining from previous Ubuntu versions:
- 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. This is useful for tools
that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
reporting with the untranslated error message.
- Build-depend on gettext:any for cross-building support.
- Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
dpkg (1.16.3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not look for newline beyond the read buffer on dpkg-deb extract.
* Check update-alternative name and link arguments for all commands.
Closes: #665050
* Check all dpkg-divert filename arguments to be absolute and to not
contain newlines. Closes: #21722
* Print errors while reading the file list files on a new line instead
of just after the progress percentage. Closes: #552517
* Document in dpkg-source(1) that patches for source format “3.0 (quilt)”
are expected to apply without any fuzz. Closes: #666752
Based on a patch by Luca Capello <luca at pca.it>.
* Remove redundant -Wformat-security from default dpkg-buildflags, which
is already implied by -Werror=format-security. Closes: #664964
Suggested by Peter Eisentraut <petere at debian.org>.
* Document in dpkg-query(1) that commands producing multiple paragraphs
will preserve the order of the packages specified on the argument list.
* Change start-stop-daemon --exec on GNU/Hurd, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
and Solaris to check for executables matching device and inode numbers
instead of filenames.
* Change start-stop-daemon --name on GNU/Hurd to check the process' argv[1]
in addition to argv[0], to handle both binaries and interpreted scripts.
Reported by Mats Erik Andersson <mats.andersson at gisladisker.se>.
* Handle deb format versions as major.minor integers instead of strings or
floats, the latter being susceptible to parsing errors depending on the
current locale (although this was only affecting the old deb format).
* Ignore the minor format version number for deb-split format, unifying
the behaviour with the deb format.
* Add support for an abitable containing arch attribute overrides.
* Add x32 support to abitable, ostable and triplettable. Closes: #667037
* Fix start-stop-daemon to work with relative --exec arguments and --chdir.
Closes: #669047
* Ignore request to rename a file owned by the diverting package on
«dpkg-divert --add --rename». Closes: #588077
* Clarify dpkg-gensymbols(1) by way of examples that architecture wildcards
are supported in symbols files. Closes: #670048
* Fix memory leak due to Dpkg::Control objects not being garbage-collected.
Thanks to Ben Harris <bjh21 at cam.ac.uk>. Closes: #669012
* Compute the md5sum hash on unpack for empty files too, so that these
can be checked correctly for matching content when installing multiple
package instances.
* Generate md5sums files automatically at unpack time if missing from the
binary package. Closes: #155676, #155799
* Add missing list and md5sums database file checks to «dpkg --audit».
[ Helge Kreutzmann ]
* Fix a typo in man/dpkg-buildflags.1.
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* French (Christian Perrier).
* German (Sven Joachim).

dpkg (1.16.2) unstable; urgency=low
[ 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 at 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 at 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 at debian.org>.
* Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson at ubuntu.com>.
* Add new deb-origin.5 man page. Closes: #608884
Thanks to Matt Kraai <kraai at 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 at 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 at debian.org>. Closes: #656496
* Relax --merge-avail Packages file parser, to not fail on bogus versions.
* When building only arch-indep binaries with «dpkg-buildpackage -A», name
the .changes file using ‘all’ as architecture. Closes: #661638
* Handle unknown architectures gracefully in dpkg-buildflags.
Closes: #663004
* Add missing --status-logger to dpkg --help output.
* Do not print bogus errno string for invalid package names in dpkg
--ignore-depends option.
* Change dpkg-query to not load the available file by default for --list
and --show, add a new --load-avail option to expose the old behaviour.
* Only allow setting selections via «dpkg --set-selections» for known
packages (i.e. those present in either the status or available files).
* Always ignore older versions when parsing the available file, not only
for --update-avail and --merge-avail.
* Mark not-installed non-arch-qualified selections for removal.
* Add new «dpkg --assert-multi-arch» command to allow checking for
multi-arch support availability.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes needed).
* Add architecture consistency checks to «dpkg --audit».
* Add new dpkg --add-architecture and --remove-architecture commands to
track supported architectures.
[ 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 at 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
* Improve deb-shlibs(5) to mention that the dependency field must
use the same syntax as a Depends field. Closes: #658696
* Update dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) to recommend usage of the version
removing/renaming a conffile with a "~" suffix as "priorversion"
parameter. Thanks to Sam Morris <sam at robots.org.uk> for the patch.
Closes: #658854
* Fix debug output of dpkg-maintscript-helper. LP: #936340
[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Bump po4a version in Build-Depends to 0.41, since earlier versions do
not handle --srcdir correctly. Closes: #644370
[ Guillem Jover, Steve Langasek, Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Add new dpkg --print-foreign-architectures command.
* Add support for virtual output binary:Package field.

Title:
dpkg-maintscript-helper does not show complete debug output
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When looking at the rm_conffile() function in the dkpg-maintscript-
helper script, these lines can be found to show some debug output:
debug "Executing $0 rm_conffile in $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME "\
"of $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE"
debug "CONFFILE=$CONFFILE PACKAGE=$PACKAGE "\
"LASTVERSION=$LASTVERSION ACTION=$1 PARAM=$2"
When I enable debug output I only get this information:
DEBUG: dpkg-maintscript-helper: Executing /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile in postinst
DEBUG: dpkg-maintscript-helper: CONFFILE=/etc/mc/Syntax PACKAGE=mc
The 2nd part of each debug output is not shown! (Resulting in my bad
understanding of the helper script which was not working) I could
easily fix it, by merging the 2 line into one for each debug output.
Resulting in:
DEBUG: dpkg-maintscript-helper: Executing /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile in postinst of mc
DEBUG: dpkg-maintscript-helper: CONFFILE=/etc/mc/Syntax PACKAGE=mc LASTVERSION=4.7.4 ACTION=configure PARAM=3:4.7.0.9-2
