Description: 
 dpkg       - package maintenance system for Debian
 dpkg-dev   - package building tools for Debian
 dselect    - user tool to manage Debian packages
Changes: 
 dpkg (1.13.24ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge from debian unstable.
     Remaining differences from Debian to Ubuntu follow:
 .
   Miscellaneous fixes:
   * Fix for Debian #378003 (multiple deconfigurations).
   * mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
   * dpkg: add missing newline to an error message.
     (LP 29729, submitted upstream as Debian #390914.)
   * Fix formatting of these files:
        lib/showpkg.c
        lib/tarfn.c
        src/configure.c
        src/archives.c (function quote_filename only)
     to conform to the rest of dpkg by running them through
     expand -t2 (and in the last case using M-x indent-rigidly once).
     As discussed on debian-dpkg.  Submitted upstream as Debian #375711.
   * dpkg: describedepcon uses more l10n-friendly approach.
     (LP 63744, submitted upstream as Debian #390916.)
   * dpkg-source: respect g+s and umask when extracting.
     (LP 51468, submitted upstream as Debian #390915.)
     The new behaviour is that the only thing which matters about the
     permissions specified in the archive is whether an object has execute
     permission for anyone, as for chmod =X.  Set-id (of files and
     directories) and read/write permissions from the archive are ignored.
     Permissions are determined by the umask; group ownership and
     directory-setgid according the usual filesystem policies.
   * Don't consider it a file conflict if the package contains
     a symlink to a directory where another package already contains the
     same symlink/directory and the existing and new symlinks point to the
     same place.  (Launchpad 22340.  Apparently not reported upstream yet.)
 .
   Implementation of Breaks:
   * References:
      http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/10/msg00643.html
      https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageDependencyFieldBreaks
   * Manpages mention Breaks: deb-control.5, dpkg-query.1, dpkg.1.
   * Support for Breaks in dpkg-source, dpkg-gencontrol et al.
   * Support for Breaks in the code in dpkg.
   * Breaks is ignored by dselect.
 .
   Decisions made:
   * Specifying Breaks: <virtual package> is fairly meaningless
     without versioned Provides but to make versioned Provides easier
     in the future we support it fully.
   * We do not transitively deconfigure things when we deconfigure
     due to Breaks, just as we don't do so when we deconfigure due
     to removal due to Conflicts (see also Debian #378009).
   * Just as for deconfiguration due to Conflicts, we don't deconfigure
     Essential packages without --force-remove-essential.
   * We aren't willing to deconfigure more than one package as a result
     of a single element of a Breaks, just as we aren't willing to
     remove more than one package as a result of a single element of
     a Conflicts.  (Note that this can only occur due to virtual
     packages so it can be worked around by specifying the individual
     real packages instead.)
   * We're happy to deconfigure a package that's on hold even if
     afterwards, due to Breaks, there might not be a way to reconfigure it.
     (This is analogous to the situation where we install a package which
     no longer satisfies the dependencies of an on-hold package; it's not
     clear what the right answer is.)
   * We invent a new --force-breaks which does much the
     same as --force-conflicts.
   * --ignore-depends works for Breaks even though it doesn't work
     for Conflicts.
   * <deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
       as well as
     <deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver> \
                                        removing <conflictor> <ver>
       and of course the corresponding
     <deconfigured's postinst> abort-deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
