[Bug 1595177] Re: [SRU] Update apt/xenial to 1.2.14

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.2.14 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

Title:
  [SRU] Update apt/xenial to 1.2.14

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  (This is a template for now, so I can close the bug in the 1.2.14
  upload)

  [Impact]
  We intend to upload APT 1.2.14 to xenial under the new "micro upstream release" policy.

  Apart from fixing bug 1573547, it also updates translations fixes the
  following other bugs:

  [[1.2.13]]

  Segmentation fault fixes:
  * fail instead of segfault on unreadable config files (Closes: 824503)

  Fixes for 3rd party programs using libapt and C++ locale API:
  * prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (Closes: #825396)

  Fix for hurd (not really affecting us here, but upstream):
  * apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs.
    Thanks to Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit! (Closes: 826043)

  Leak fixes:
  * do not hang on piped input in PipedFileFdPrivate
  * don't leak an FD in lz4 (de)compression
  * don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing

  [[1.2.14]]
  Regression fix from 1.2.13:
    * do not error if auto-detect-proxy cmd has no output (Closes: 827713)
  Huge apt-ftparchive performance regression fix from 1.1:
    * Reinstate caching of file hashes in apt-ftparchive (Closes: #806924)
  Tiny bug fixes, about 2 lines each:
    * source: if download is skipped, don't try to unpack
    * ensure filesize of deb is included in the hashes list

  [Test case]
  The releases follow new upstream micro release rule and thus are assumed to be tested by our integration test suite. There are two exceptions which cannot be tested:

  * prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs
  * apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs

  The first has no affected code in the archive (but maybe 3rd party
  code), the second only affects hurd.

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low. The release has been tested by a thorough integration test suite on Travis CI, Debian autopkgtests, and has been in Debian unstable since 2016-06-22.
