dpkg (1.15.2ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
Ubuntu-specific adjustments (probably):
- Use i686 for lpia in cputable and triplettable.
- Hack Dpkg::Arch to return i686 for lpia.
- Move various Conflicts to Breaks, since upgrades from stable Ubuntu
releases support Breaks.
Miscellaneous bug fixes:
- Avoid closing fsys tarfile pipe twice even in normal operation -
normally EBADF but might sometimes close some other desired fd and
cause hideous doom.
- Avoid duplicate attempts to [f]close in obscure error situations which
might conceiveably close wrong fds.
- Revert change to stop outputting a newline after a postinst is run
(Debian #392317).
- Use the two-arg form of open in Dpkg::Control so that "-" can be
passed to parse stdin as a control file (Debian #465340).
Launchpad integration:
- Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed handling in a few more places.
Build options:
- Point to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistCompilerFlags from
dpkg-buildpackage(1).
- Set default LDFLAGS to -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions. (We've already taken
this hit in Ubuntu.)
- Implement handling of hardening-wrapper options via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
dpkg (1.15.2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]

dpkg (1.15.1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-genchanges to not include the additional upstream tarballs
when they are not desired (specific to source packages using format 3.0
quilt).
* Call quilt only once to apply all patches instead of once per patch
when building 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Closes: #518453
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps so that it works again when analyzing binaries
outside of package's directory. Closes: #518687
* Modify dpkg-shlibdeps to let shlibs.local override symbols files too.
* Drop support of debian/control's “Format” field used by dpkg-source while
it's not too late. Instead debian/source/format should be used to indicate
the desired source package format.
* Update deb-triggers(5) and dpkg-trigger(1) to add a reference to
/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz. Closes: #519717
* Avoid perl warnings in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges when the
Architecture field is missing in a binary package. Closes: #510282
* Modify Dpkg::Version::check_version() to not die by default.
Closes: #510615
* dpkg-source now ignores all possible vi swap file extensions (and not
only .swp). The corresponding exclude pattern for -I also got tightened to
only catch filenames starting with a dot. Closes: #515540
* dpkg-gencontrol displays a better error message when an ORed dependency
is used in a union field like Conflicts, Replaces or Breaks.
Closes: #489238
* dpkg-source's signature check is now done with gpgv if possible and
timeouts if not completed within 10 seconds. Closes: #490929
When using gpg, use --no-default-keyring to be consistent with gpgv's
behaviour to not use the user's keyring. Closes: #440841
* Update dpkg-dev dependencies: Closes: #472942
- Move gnupg to Recommends. It's needed to sign .dsc and .changes.
- Add gpgv to Recommends. Useful to check signatures of extracted packages.
- Add debian-maintainers to Suggests. Together with debian-keyring they
contain all the GPG keys required to verify official Debian packages.
* Drop /etc/dpkg/origins as it's taken over by base-files (see #487437).
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a
version means that the symbol has always existed in all versions of the
package.
* When dpkg delegates to dpkg-query or dpkg-deb to do the actual work, add
the "--" marker to explicitely document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.
Closes: #293163
Thanks to Bill Allombert for the patch.
* dpkg now correctly refuses empty parameters when an integer value is
wanted. Closes: #386197 Based on a patch by Bill Allombert.
* Fix a mistake in the french translation of dpkg's manual page.
Thanks to Jonathan Gibert. Closes: #522032
* Fix dpkg-source to not die when uncompressor processes are killed by
SIGPIPE due to tar closing the pipe without exhausting all the data
available. Closes: #523329
* dpkg-gencontrol now handles properly (empty) dependencies which contain
only spaces. Closes: #522787
* dpkg-source now accepts additional tarballs (in format "3.0 (quilt)")
with a "component" name containing dashes. Closes: #524376
* Fix dpkg-source to not complain on binary files that are ignored and are
not going to be included in the debian tarball of a "3.0 (quilt)" source
package. Closes: #524375
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no change required).
* Do not store usernames and group names in tarballs created by dpkg-source,
they are anyway ignored at unpack time. Closes: #523184
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove real files installed in place of
an alternative link when the corresponding alternative is fully removed.
Closes: #526538
* Add a new dpkg-vendor tool to query vendor information stored in
/etc/dpkg/origins. It can be used in debian/rules to enable different
behaviour depending on the current vendor at the time of the build.
Closes: #498380
Modify dpkg-buildpackage to not set the DEB_VENDOR environment variable,
packages should use the dpkg-vendor program instead.
* Ensure that the automatic patch created in format "3.0 (quilt)" is always
well registered with quilt even when it's updated by a new call to
dpkg-source. Thanks to Goswin von Brederlow for the initial patch.
Closes: #525858
* Do not update/create debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied during build,
it's only meant to document what patches have been applied at extraction
time. Closes: #525835
* Let dpkg-buildpackage add the missing execute right on debian/rules if
needed. Display a warning when it happens. Closes: #499088
* Allow to combine -nc and -S in dpkg-buildpackage but display a warning
saying that it's not advised. Closes: #304404
* Let dpkg-buildpackage error out with subprocerr() when dpkg-checkbuilddeps
is interrupted/killed by a signal. Closes: #498734
* Fix dpkg-buildpackage/dpkg-genchanges to properly interpret option -v0.
Closes: #475916
* Improves how dpkg-parsechangelog handles non-existing versions
in its --since, --until, --to, --from options. Approximate the intent
by selectioning the nearest version instead. Closes: #477638
* Update dpkg-parsechangelog's documentation to make it clearer that spaces
are not allowed between single characters options and their values.
Closes: #494883
* Don't let dpkg-scanpackages complain about missing overrides when
no overrides file has been given. Closes: #468106
Thanks to Piotr Engelking for the patch.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix typo in dpkg output (‘unexecpted’ → ‘unexpected’). Closes: #519082
Thanks to Ivan Masár.
* Sync archtable with architectures currently present in Debian sid.
- Remove m68k.
- Add kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64.
* Add avr32 to cputable. Closes: #523456
* Detect the curses headers to use instead of hardcoding them.
* Make dpkg-source do not set arch:any in .dsc on arch-restricted packages.
Thanks to Philipp Kern <pkern at debian.org>. Closes: #526617

Closes: #525854
* Use backticks instead of non-portable make $(shell) function in automake.

have been disabled from configure.
* Move Debian specific keyrings to the Debian vendor class and change the
Ubuntu vendor class to inherit from it.

function.
* Only print fatal errno string in start-stop-daemon if it was non-zero.
* Print the valid values for the IO scheduler class in start-stop-daemon
--help output.

* Change dpkg-source --help output to state there's no default substvar
file to match reality.
* Warn in start-stop-daemon if the argument to --name is longer than the
supported kernel process name size. Closes: #353015, #519128
* Do not warn in dpkg-deb when parsing unknown fields with the “Private-”
prefix. Based on a patch by Nils Rennebarth. Closes: #353040
[ Frank Lichtenheld ]
* Dpkg::Version: Remove unnecessary function next_elem which just
replicates the standard shift behaviour.
[ Colin Watson ]

file handled by dpkg. Thus harmonize vocabulary with the policy. Thanks
to Helge Kreutzmann <debian at helgefjell.de>. Closes: #381219
* Improve error message stating that dpkg is unable to create a file so that
it also refers to the real filename instead of the non-diverted name only.
Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch. Closes: #457135
* dpkg-gencontrol can now again read the control file from its standard
input with "-c-". Closes: #465340
* Add DEB_VENDOR environment variable in the build environment to be able
to change behaviour dynamically depending on the vendor of the current
system (or target system when the user overrides DEB_VENDOR by setting
it himself). Closes: #457371
* dpkg-shlibdeps give less strong warnings for symbols not found in NEEDED

* Drop some unneeded lintian overrides.
* Fix a chmod call in dpkg-source to not fail when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.

changelogs and a safety-check for Maintainer fields of forked packages
(launched during source build). Closes: #426752, #499924
* Improve behaviour of update-alternatives --config. Thanks to
Osamu Aoki <osamu at debian.org> for the initial patch. We can know
select between manual and auto in --config and --all. Closes: #392430
* Fix update-alternatives to not switch to manual mode an alternative
with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it).
Also ensure that a message is displayed by default when such a switch is
made. Closes: #141325, #87677
* Fix update-alternatives' logic to rename files. It failed to ignore errors
in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.
Closes: #99870
This also makes update-alternatives less noisy when this happens since we
don't call mv when we know that it's going to fail.
Closes: #98822
* Properly remove inappropriate slave links in update-alternatives even when
we switch to manual mode with --set or --config. Closes: #388313
* Modify update-alternatives to always remove the alternative group when the
last alternative is removed (even in manual mode).
* Ensure that update-alternative --install fix the links if the alternative
installed is the one currently selected. Closes: #100135
* Let update-alternatives deal with empty files in its administrative
directory by ignoring them. Closes: #457863
* Add new --target and --as-root options to dpkg-buildpackage to call
any debian/rules target with the proper build environment.
Closes: #477916
* Move update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride to /usr/bin
but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release
until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html).
Closes: #216606
* Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper
(>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatility level to 6 at the same
time.
* Drop cleanup-info script.
* Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that
files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
Closes: #516481
* Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
implement new features on top of it:
- the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
- it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
- it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
Closes: #342566
- it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
- new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
- install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
Closes: #143701
- new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
- new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
a single command.
* Document in update-alternatives(8) how one can repair all broken
alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556
* Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing
symbols files so that package having libraries whose name varies between
architectures do not need to hardcode the package name. Closes: #517264
[ Pierre Habouzit ]
* Add a --query option to update-alternatives. Closes: #336091, #441904
[ Updated scripts translations ]
* Polish (Wiktor Wandachowicz). Closes: #514106
[ Updated manpages translations ]
* Polish (Wiktor Wandachowicz). Closes: #514106
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo).
* Korean (Changwoo Ryu).
* Romanian (Eddy Petri?or)
* Slovak (Ivan Masár). Closes: #514490
dpkg (1.14.25) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix typo in package description ('privides' -> 'provides').
Thanks to Pascal De Vuyst <pascal.devuyst at gmail.com>. Closes: #510755
* Do not lose conffiles while replacing them from another package on the
same install run. Closes: #513857
As a side effect this fixes the following symptoms:
- Do not do unneeded conffile prompts when it wasn't locally changed.
- Do not ensure (and thus do not output debug information) that the
.dpkg-new and .dpkg-tmp directories for an existing directory do not
exist. Closes: #80416
[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* dpkg-deb now always produces GNU tarballs inside .deb and ignores
TAR_OPTIONS. Closes: #513863
[ Updated dpkg translations ]
* Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #506092, #509851
* Simplified Chinese (Deng Xiyue). Closes: #506177
* Traditional Chinese (Tetralet). Closes: #513312
[ Updated dselect translations ]
* Basque (Piarres Beobide). Closes: #509852
* Norwegian Bokmål (Hans F. Nordhaug).
* Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo). Closes: #509904
[ Updated scripts translations ]
* Add missing space in French translation.

- Hack Dpkg::Arch to return i686 for lpia.
- Move various Conflicts to Breaks, since upgrades from stable Ubuntu
releases support Breaks.
.
Miscellaneous bug fixes:
- Avoid closing fsys tarfile pipe twice even in normal operation -
normally EBADF but might sometimes close some other desired fd and
cause hideous doom.
- Avoid duplicate attempts to [f]close in obscure error situations which
might conceiveably close wrong fds.
- Revert change to stop outputting a newline after a postinst is run
(Debian #392317).
- Use the two-arg form of open in Dpkg::Control so that "-" can be
passed to parse stdin as a control file (Debian #465340).
.
Launchpad integration:
- Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed handling in a few more places.
.
Build options:
- Point to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistCompilerFlags from
dpkg-buildpackage(1).
- Set default LDFLAGS to -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions. (We've already taken
this hit in Ubuntu.)
- Implement handling of hardening-wrapper options via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

.
[ Raphael Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-genchanges to not include the additional upstream tarballs
when they are not desired (specific to source packages using format 3.0
quilt).
* Call quilt only once to apply all patches instead of once per patch
when building 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Closes: #518453
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps so that it works again when analyzing binaries
outside of package's directory. Closes: #518687
* Modify dpkg-shlibdeps to let shlibs.local override symbols files too.
* Drop support of debian/control's “Format” field used by dpkg-source while
it's not too late. Instead debian/source/format should be used to indicate
the desired source package format.
* Update deb-triggers(5) and dpkg-trigger(1) to add a reference to
/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz. Closes: #519717
* Avoid perl warnings in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges when the
Architecture field is missing in a binary package. Closes: #510282
* Modify Dpkg::Version::check_version() to not die by default.
Closes: #510615
* dpkg-source now ignores all possible vi swap file extensions (and not
only .swp). The corresponding exclude pattern for -I also got tightened to
only catch filenames starting with a dot. Closes: #515540
* dpkg-gencontrol displays a better error message when an ORed dependency
is used in a union field like Conflicts, Replaces or Breaks.
Closes: #489238
* dpkg-source's signature check is now done with gpgv if possible and
timeouts if not completed within 10 seconds. Closes: #490929
When using gpg, use --no-default-keyring to be consistent with gpgv's
behaviour to not use the user's keyring. Closes: #440841
* Update dpkg-dev dependencies: Closes: #472942
- Move gnupg to Recommends. It's needed to sign .dsc and .changes.
- Add gpgv to Recommends. Useful to check signatures of extracted packages.
- Add debian-maintainers to Suggests. Together with debian-keyring they
contain all the GPG keys required to verify official Debian packages.
* Drop /etc/dpkg/origins as it's taken over by base-files (see #487437).
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a
version means that the symbol has always existed in all versions of the
package.
* When dpkg delegates to dpkg-query or dpkg-deb to do the actual work, add
the "--" marker to explicitely document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.
Closes: #293163
Thanks to Bill Allombert for the patch.
* dpkg now correctly refuses empty parameters when an integer value is
wanted. Closes: #386197 Based on a patch by Bill Allombert.
* Fix a mistake in the french translation of dpkg's manual page.
Thanks to Jonathan Gibert. Closes: #522032
* Fix dpkg-source to not die when uncompressor processes are killed by
SIGPIPE due to tar closing the pipe without exhausting all the data
available. Closes: #523329
* dpkg-gencontrol now handles properly (empty) dependencies which contain
only spaces. Closes: #522787
* dpkg-source now accepts additional tarballs (in format "3.0 (quilt)")
with a "component" name containing dashes. Closes: #524376
* Fix dpkg-source to not complain on binary files that are ignored and are
not going to be included in the debian tarball of a "3.0 (quilt)" source
package. Closes: #524375
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no change required).
* Do not store usernames and group names in tarballs created by dpkg-source,
they are anyway ignored at unpack time. Closes: #523184
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove real files installed in place of
an alternative link when the corresponding alternative is fully removed.
Closes: #526538
* Add a new dpkg-vendor tool to query vendor information stored in
/etc/dpkg/origins. It can be used in debian/rules to enable different
behaviour depending on the current vendor at the time of the build.
Closes: #498380
Modify dpkg-buildpackage to not set the DEB_VENDOR environment variable,
packages should use the dpkg-vendor program instead.
* Ensure that the automatic patch created in format "3.0 (quilt)" is always
well registered with quilt even when it's updated by a new call to
dpkg-source. Thanks to Goswin von Brederlow for the initial patch.
Closes: #525858
* Do not update/create debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied during build,
it's only meant to document what patches have been applied at extraction
time. Closes: #525835
* Let dpkg-buildpackage add the missing execute right on debian/rules if
needed. Display a warning when it happens. Closes: #499088
* Allow to combine -nc and -S in dpkg-buildpackage but display a warning
saying that it's not advised. Closes: #304404
* Let dpkg-buildpackage error out with subprocerr() when dpkg-checkbuilddeps
is interrupted/killed by a signal. Closes: #498734
* Fix dpkg-buildpackage/dpkg-genchanges to properly interpret option -v0.
Closes: #475916
* Improves how dpkg-parsechangelog handles non-existing versions
in its --since, --until, --to, --from options. Approximate the intent
by selectioning the nearest version instead. Closes: #477638
* Update dpkg-parsechangelog's documentation to make it clearer that spaces
are not allowed between single characters options and their values.
Closes: #494883
* Don't let dpkg-scanpackages complain about missing overrides when
no overrides file has been given. Closes: #468106

it also refers to the real filename instead of the non-diverted name only.
Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch. Closes: #457135
* dpkg-gencontrol can now again read the control file from its standard
input with "-c-". Closes: #465340

with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it).
Also ensure that a message is displayed by default when such a switch is
made. Closes: #141325, #87677
* Fix update-alternatives' logic to rename files. It failed to ignore errors
in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.
Closes: #99870
This also makes update-alternatives less noisy when this happens since we
don't call mv when we know that it's going to fail.
Closes: #98822

files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
Closes: #516481
* Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
implement new features on top of it:
- the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
- it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
- it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
Closes: #342566
- it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
- new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
- install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
Closes: #143701
- new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429

a single command.
* Document in update-alternatives(8) how one can repair all broken
alternatives with a single command. Closes: #250258, #395556
* Modify dpkg-gensymbols to replace #PACKAGE# on the fly while installing
