Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed: 118246
Changes: 
 dpkg (1.14.5ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
 .
   Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes follow:
 .
   Miscellaneous fixes:
   * 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, Debian #377682.)
   * mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
   * 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.
   * scripts/update-alternatives.pl: in the case where the slave is
     inapplicable do not attempt to create the slave link before removing
     it again.  This will help alleviate LP #84906 (vim upgrade problems)
     and will generally make things slightly less fragile.  Debian #411699.
   * mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
   * Fix the uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
     line 602.  Thanks to Ubulette for this patch.  (LP: #118246)
     Patch modified by iwj not to ignore lstat failures.
   * Use i686 for lpia in cputable and triplettable.
 .
   Launchpad integration:
   * Implement changelog-closes-bugs for Ubuntu (see
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog).
   * Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed to dpkg-genchanges too, to make it not
     complain about unknown fields.
 .
   DebianMaintainerField:
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check that debian/control complies to
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField: Refuse to build a source
     package if we have an Ubuntu version number, but Maintainer: is not an
     Ubuntu address. Output a warning if there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer:
     field for packages with an Ubuntu version number.
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Only fail to build the source package if $DEBEMAIL
     contains 'ubuntu'. If not, only print a warning.
   * debian/control: Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field.
 .
   Implementation of Breaks:
   * References:
      http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/10/msg00643.html
      https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageDependencyFieldBreaks
      Debian #379140.
   * 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.
   * Fix for Debian #378003 (multiple deconfigurations) is
     mixed in with Breaks implementation.
   * Declare Breaks against older dpkg-dev rather than Conflicts.
   * 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>
