[Bug 943502] Re: whois doesn't properly query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs and incorrect format for whois.arin.net

[Chris J Arges]

** Description changed:

  Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal
  
  Description:
  Please backport whois 5.0.19 (main) from quantal to oneiric.
  
  Reason for the backport:
  ========================
  This provides some needed updates to users who need to query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs, and fixes an incorrect format for whois.arin.net, plus some additional updates.
  
  Testing:
  ========
  Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
  
  You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
  $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d oneiric whois
  
  * oneiric:
  [X] Package builds without modification
  [X] whois installs cleanly and runs
  
  Reverse dependencies:
  =====================
  The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of whois. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new whois. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new whois installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

  [Impact]
  Fixes issues using whois with .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition updates query format for IPs when accessing ARIN.
  
  [Development Fix]
  These issues were fixed in 5.0.14 of whois.
  
  [Stable Fix]
  Since most of the fixes are covered in updating from 5.0.11 to 5.0.14, a backport of these version provides all fixes.
  
  [Test Case]
  1) whois google.hr (works on precise, not on oneiric)
  2) whois registry.sx google.com.pe
  3) whois 74.125.113.102
     if we use this command in precise we see that whois adds "n +" to the query, while
     in oneiric it doesn't add that.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Most of the changes are fairly minimal, although any changes to mkpasswd should be investigated.
  
  Problem Description:
  whois in oneiric can't query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition the query format for ARIN is different than in precise.
  
  Version affected:
  Current Oneiric Version: 5.0.11ubuntu2
