Please sync dpkg 1.16.2 (main) from Debian sid (main)
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
* New version of previous patch, many thanks Raphaël Hertzog! (LP: #902603)
* dpkg: Do not try to disappear other packages from the same set. Packages
within a set can rightfully share files and should not be disappeared in
the case where they share all the files. Many thanks to Raphaël Hertzog
for the fix! (Closes: #652063, LP: #902603)
* Don't perform is_armhf tests in parse_objdump_output() unless
we have a file handle defined. This is an impossible situation
at runtime, but trips up the testsuite oprtating on fake data.
* Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Merge from git://git.debian.org/users/hertzog/dpkg.git
pu/multiarch/full for multiarch support.
- On upgrade from 1.16.0~ubuntu[1-3], if /var/lib/dpkg/info/$arch is a
directory, migrate the contents to var/lib/dpkg/info; and handle the
reverse on downgrade. This does not handle metadata for packages of
foreign architectures.
- 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.
- Add /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch as a conffile on amd64, so that
users are guaranteed to always have it after upgrade even if they
don't use update-manager for the upgrade itself.
- Continue exporting compiler flags in dpkg-buildpackage until after
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
- Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option.
- Strip -Werror=format-security from the flags exported to the
environment from dpkg-buildpackage.
- Don't export build flags for packages using debhelper compat level 9
or above.
- Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217
Changelog entries since current precise version 1.16.1.2ubuntu5:
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 than 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.
* Implement Multi-Arch support.
[ Helge Kreutzmann ]
* Fix a typo in man/dpkg-deb.1.
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* German (Sven Joachim).
* Italian (Milo Casagrande). Closes: #627832, #657849
* Swedish (Peter Krefting).
* French (Christian Perrier)
* Polish (Michał Kułach). Closes: #658126

* German (Helge Kreutzmann), including typo fix in dpkg-genchanges
Closes: #646496, sub optimal translation of package states LP: #368783
and an fix by Chris Leick
* Japanese (TAKAHASHI Motonobu).
* Spanish (Omar Campagne). Closes: #643969
* Swedish (Peter Krefting).
* Minor errors corrected in French (thanks to David Prévot)
* Fix translation of -B and -A options of dpkg-buildpackage.
Thanks to Vincent Danjean. Closes: #654626
[ Updated dselect translations ]
* Dutch (Jeroen Schot). Closes: #651813
