* Revert change to prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with +
instead of *. The prefix is supposed to go in the text itself
instead of the spec name, which already had it. This change only
apparently fixed the issue at hand because gcc started parsing it as

* perl: Switch Getopt::Long from bundling to bundling_values. This means
the few scripts using Getopt::Long will stop accepting options in the
form «-ab» for «-a -b», which is not future-proof, as it does not allow
these options to get new arguments without making them abiguous.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Remove transient backwards R³ compatibility code.
* buildtools.mk: Add support for nostrip in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS when setting
the STRIP variable.
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Do not include irrelevant packages in the Binary field.
* dpkg: Do not clear selections for unknown packages. Closes: #927752

versioning, as volatile.debian.org was decommissioned some time ago.
* dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-mergechangelogs: Match ~deb also as a backport
marker in versions. Closes: #934980
* libdpkg, dpkg: Use new versiondescribe_c() for non-localizable call sites,

- Create the logfile with correct permissions, and remove the code
setting up the logfile from the dpkg postinst.
- Allow missing status and available databases, so that they get created
on write, and remove the code setting them up from the dpkg postinst.
Closes: #647911
- Do not change the ownership of the triggers database directory. Either
we are running as root:root which means the ownership should be correct
already, or we are not which means we cannot change it anyway.

Reported by Daniel Shahaf <email address hidden>. Closes: #948291
* dselect: Mark a string for translation.
* dselect: Cleanup access methods:
- Remove harddisk methods, as they were non-functional due to fdisk
interface changes, and do not make sense anymore as we can expect users
to mount any such filesystem on their own, to then use a filesystem
method instead. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>.
- Remove cdrom method superseded by the multi_cd method.
- Remove nfs methods, as there is nothing special about NFS, and mounting
these should just be left to the local admin, who can mount any other

mounting the necessary images or devices.

* dpkg-source: Stop filtering @builddeps@ from Testsuite-Triggers field.
Closes: #910734
* dpkg-genchanges: Only reference binary packages being uploaded, which
means that for a source-only upload, the Binary and Description fields

Thanks to Colin Watson <email address hidden>. Closes: #913816
* vendor.mk: Add support for an improved dpkg_vendor_derives_from macro.
Version the macros so that both can be used, and default the unversioned
one to the version 0 macro.
* dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as "istobe"
normal, so that the dependency checks know they cannot expect this package
to be processed anymore. Otherwise we ended up never detecting that we
were not making progress, as we expected to process this package at a later
point, when that would never happen anymore. This then was causing asserts
in the process queue loop. Closes: #901127, #910819
* dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected it into the current
package process queue iteration, so that we do not keep trying to process
it, which might end up generating artificial trigger cycles, if
dependencies are not satisfied yet.
* dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
one, so that we stop skipping unsatisfiable dependency checks.
* dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional. We should
only reset the cycle detection in case we are not bailing out from the
processing with an error, otherwise we could come back to this package and
detect an artificial trigger cycle.
* dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing. This
completely defers trigger processing until after the dependency cycle
breaking level, so to avoid generating artificial trigger cycles, when we
end up trying to process triggers with yet unsatisifiable dependencies.
Closes: #810724, #854478, #911620
* dpkg: Fix --help output, to clarify which arguments are optional.
* libdpkg: Add proper tar error handling. This makes the tar extractor
track and report back parse errors, so that we can give more descriptive

* Fix logic in dpkg-buildpackage to decide whether to run build targets,
which broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
Thanks to James Clarke <email address hidden>. Closes: #878899
* Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <email address hidden>.
* Pass the correct source stanza to the dpkg-buildpackage code parsing the
Rules-Requires-Root field. This meant the field was being ignored.
* Run dpkg-source directly from the current working directory in
dpkg-buildpackage, instead of changing directory back and forth.
* Setup and check rootcommand in dpkg-buildpackage only if it is going to
be needed. Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
* Add color support to dpkg-maintscript-helper (a shell script).
* Fix warning by including <sys/sysmacros.h> for makedev() in libdpkg.
* Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
Reported by Jakub Wilk <email address hidden>.
* Add new AS, STRIP, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP, NM, AR and RANLIB buildtools
variables to buildtools.mk. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>.
* Restore rejecting negated architectures in Architecture field in
dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5.
* Fix dpkg-gensymbols to print "error" instead of "warning" when these
are fatal. Closes: #881488

the variable is expected to be set by any builder, not just dpkg. And
introduce ephemeral backwards compatibility even though there are no
known users.
* Do not set DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in dpkg-buildpackage when the R³ value is

* Switch a fatal() call in start-stop-daemon into the new BUG() macro,
because it is really an internal error.
* Switch all assert() calls (except in update-alternatives) into internerr()
or BUG() calls, to get way better reporting with variable contents and

to output other deb822 formatted data in a deterministic way.
* Require both standard input and output to be connected to a terminal to
use a pager.
* Run dpkg-query --list output through a pager if we are on a terminal,

whether the semantic change has any impact on the code, which can then
be quiesced. Closes: #895004
- Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: When detecting the changelog format, read the
last 4KiB of the file instead of using «tail -n40», which should be

- Dpkg::Build::Types: Add new set_build_type_from_targets() function.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Always assign a proper Dpkg::Version to the

- Dpkg::OpenPGP: Return the destination path on successful ASCII armor
conversion.
- Dpkg::Control::Fields: Do not use & sigil for function calls.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Ignore nonexistent directories present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts: Satisfy :native with arch:all packages too.
These are treated as native packages everywhere else in the multi-arch
design, this was the only exception, which has become a source of
packaging problems as of late. This was apparently an oversight in
the original implementation. Closes: #854438
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add fixfilepath support to reproducible feature.
- Dpkg::Dist::Files: Add support for file attributes.

Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason <email address hidden>.
- Fix Doxygen comment for libdpkg dpkg_arch_find() function.
- Document the dangers of using start-stop-daemon(8) only with --pidfile
as matching option with the pid file owned by a non-privileged user.
* Code internals:
- Do not use stringy eval to define different sub implementations,
just assign an anonymous sub to the typeglob.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() to quiesce a gcc-8 warning.
- Change pkgbin_name_needs_arch() to never arch-qualify packages that
have an empty or no architecture, which was already handled as part
of varbuf_add_archqual().
- libdpkg: Factor out cached arch-qualified package name generation into
new pkgbin_name_archqual() function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_name() and pkgbin_name() const variants.
- libdpkg, dselect: Use new pkg_name_const() and pkgbin_name_const().
- libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.
- dpkg: Call ensure_package_clientdata() defensively.
- dpkg: For read-only state functions, check that clientdata is allocated
before using it.
- libdpkg: Move files list information from dpkg clientdata to pkginfo.
- dpkg: Move ensure_package_clientdata() into its own file.
- libdpkg: Move db-fsys code from src to lib/dpkg.
- libdpkg: Rename pkg-db module to pkg-hash.
- libdpkg: Simplify pkg_files_blank() by using a pointer to pointer to
track the previous entry.
- libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.
- libdpkg: Switch to a new tiny struct to track file on-disk identity.
This should reduce the run-time memory used.
- libdpkg: Reset nfiles in files_db_reset().
- libdpkg: Split push_cleanup() into push_cleanup_fallback().
- Switch from strchr() + strlen() to strchrnul().
- libdpkg: Change dpkg_error to track errno values.
- libdpkg: Add new varbuf_new() and varbuf_free() functions.
- libdpkg: Add new file_slurp() function.
- libdpkg: Switch db-fsys to use the new file_slurp() function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_infodb_reset_dir().
- libdpkg: Add new m_dup() function.
- libdpkg: Factor out package stanza printing into its own function.
- libdpkg: Split pager specific code into its own module.
- libdpkg: Add pager spawning and reaping support.
- Use new pager spawning support instead of open-coding it, or piping it
via a shell invocation, which required metacharacter escaping.
- dpkg-query: Split enqperpackage() into each different action.
* Build system:
- Set distribution tarball format to ustar, instead of default v7 format.
- Mark PO4A and POD2MAN as precious variables.
- Automatically replace -Wno- with -W when testing compiler flags,
instead of passing the positive form manually.
- Enable clang -Wdocumentation warning if available.

- Disable C optimization levels when configuring for code coverage.
* Packaging:
- Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
- Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919
- Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
- Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
from Dpkg::Source::Package.
Reported by Ian Jackson <email address hidden>.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 (no changes needed).
- Add bzip2 and xz-utils to Build-Depends, required by the functional test
suite, but shadowed by dpkg-dev from the build system pulling those in.
- Add versioned libncurses-dev as the first Build-Depends alternative.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <email address hidden>.
- Do not pass VERBOSE to test suite, as we are not using any automake
test driver, so it does not get honored.
- Rename maintainer-build DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to new standardized terse.
- Enable verbose test suite only in non-terse builds.
- Add a Suggests on sensible-utils to libdpkg-perl.
- Switch libdpkg-perl again to depend on perl:any, now that debootstrap
in stable (stretch) supports arch-qualified dependencies.
- Update libdpkg-perl public module list in package description.
- Add Breaks on apt (<< 1.7~b) for --status-fd duplicate removals.
* Test suite:
- Skip Dpkg::OpenPGP test if gpg is not present.
- Check POD in all perl scripts.
- Consider *.PL also to be perl files.
- Infer automatically the unit test data directory.
- Infer automatically the unit test temp directory.

- Add new test cases to clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification.
- Add several TODO tests cases for dependency simplification.
- Add new cppcheck author test.
- Add support for new test_get_srcdir() test_get_builddir().
- Add new unit tests for namevalue, fsys-hash and pkg-hash libdpkg modules.
- Improve coverage of perl unit tests.
- Delete fixup lines from i18nspector output instead of emptying them.
- Add new codespell author test.
- Add new test that the public libdpkg headers can be compiled with C++.

dpkg (1.18.24) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add missing symbols to the libdpkg map file.
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to preserve the Dpkg::Shlibs::find_library() order
when scanning symbols/shlibs files. This was causing generation of bogus
dependencies when multiple packages provide the same SONAME on different
directories. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.17. Closes: #860979
* Make dpkg-maintscript-helper print all unowned files from a directory
when printing the error message, to ease debugging those problems after
the fact. Closes: #813454, #860238
Based on a patch by Bastien ROUCARIÈS <email address hidden>.
* Add duplicate prevention code for debian/files to dpkg-genbuildinfo, so
that successive runs with different versions and equivalent build types
do not generate multiple .buildinfo entries to be uploaded, which is
similar to what dpkg-gencontrol is doing for .deb files.
* Fix conffile takeover handling during unpack in dpkg on --root or
on diversions. Closes: #837051, #858004
* Fix digest inference for shared conffiles, causing bogus takeover
unpack errors. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.9. Closes: #861217
* Improve tar entry metadata parsing in dpkg:
- Do not parse device numbers for non block nor char tar entry objects.
- Make the existing octal parser more robust, by checking for the
expected format of leading zeros or spaces, followed by any ASCII
octal characters (0-7), followed by zero or more space or NULs.
- Add support for base-256 encoded numeric fields, to support large
values, for UID/GID, device number, size and even signed timestamps.
This is necessary not only to be able to store larger values, but to
cover packages that can already be generated by dpkg-deb, given that
it uses the system GNU tar when building. Closes: #850834
* Architecture support:
- Add support for ARM64 ILP32. Closes: #824742
Thanks to Wookey <email address hidden>.
* Perl modules:
- Remove obsolete hardening-wrapper support from Dpkg::Vendor::Ubuntu.
Thanks to Adam Conrad <adconrad@0c3.net>.
- Bump $Dpkg::Deps::VERSION to match the one documented in CHANGES.
- Ignore by default debian/files.new and debian/files for all source
formats in Dpkg::Source::Package, because these are generated files
with well known pathnames, part of the public interface, and with
dpkg-genbuildinfo always injecting .buildinfo entries into
debian/files, this meant this could disrupt previous workflows based
on not cleaning the source tree.
* Documentation:
- Many spelling fixes. Thanks to Josh Soref <email address hidden>.
- Do not include mispellings in changelogs, as that makes detecting them
more difficult.
* Build system:
- Use libexec variable for auxiliary internal programs, and set it to
/usr/lib on Debian and derivatives.
- Check that the detected tar is a GNU tar.
- Check that the detected patch is a GNU patch, so that we get a directory
traversal resistant patch implementation. This fixes CVE-2017-8283 by
delegating those checks to patch(1), so that we trap blank-indented
diff hunks trying to escape from the source tree.
* Test suite:
- Add a test case for blank-indented patches which were the cause for

* Handle unmatched arch-qualified virtual packages in dpkg-genbuildinfo,
instead of letting perl die. Closes: #849944
* Declare .buildinfo format as stable with version 1.0.
* Do not depend on cxxabi.h to have declared __cxa_pure_virtual, use
the same “__cxxabiv1” namespace as specified in the C++ ABI, instead
of using the “abi” alias intended for use by userland.
Thanks to Jörg Sonnenberger <email address hidden>.
* Add a comment on any C code switch case that falls through. Fixes new
gcc-7 warnings.
* Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() in libdpkg when constructing the ar
member header, as we might overflow depending on the input data.
* Portability:
- Do not redeclare sys_siglist in libcompat when the system does so.
Thanks to Thomas Klausner <email address hidden>.
- Rename err variable to ret in start-stop-daemon as the former is a
function on BSDs.
- Use 5-argument kvm_getprocs() call form on OpenBSD in start-stop-daemon.
- Use correct struct kinfo_proc ruid submember name on NetBSD in
start-stop-daemon.
- Define _KMEMUSER for NetBSD to get declarations for various
struct kinfo_proc members in start-stop-daemon.
* Perl modules:
- Do not special case EM_SPARC32PLUS for NetBSD in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump,
the code has been fixed in NetBSD as that situation could not happen.
- Fix read() error handling in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format() to
gracefully ignore non-ELF files again. Closes: #854536
- Emit an explicit warning from Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::Object::analyze()
for unknown executable formats instead of relying on objdump doing so.
- Do not parse bogus ELF binaries in Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump::get_format().
Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
- Add ‘.mnt-ignore’ to the default ignore lists in Dpkg::Source::Package,
as we were already ignoring the ‘_MTN’ pathnames. Closes: #855450
Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez <email address hidden>.
- Mark kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, sparc and sparc64 architectures as
having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Switch PIE handling in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian to have no default (!) and
delegate the setting to gcc or an explicit request by a user. This is
needed to cope with the general PIE brokenness situation in Debian, and
the current specific brokenness of a Debian gcc patch mangling the dpkg
build flags. Closes: #848129, #845550
* Documentation:
- Clarify the requirements for deb-conffile(5) pathnames. Closes: #854417
Proposed by Dieter Adriaenssens <email address hidden>.
- Document dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build in --help output.
- Document dpkg-buildpackage --ignore-builtin-builddeps in --help output.
* Build system:
- Check <sys/proc.h> by also including <sys/param.h>, on several BSD
systems the header is not self-contained.
- Handle libmd implementations built into system libc, as found on some
BSD systems.
- Do not fail on missing compression libraries or headers on automatic
detection mode. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.14.
* Test suite:
- Use the detected perl interpreter instead of a random one from PATH.

in dpkg-source into .dsc files". This change is contentious and should
have been discussed more widely. Given that this has been live only for
a couple of days, the impact should be minimal, but still something to
take into account once and if this gets reintroduced. Closes: #852820
* Perl modules:
- Map alternative or old ELF machine types to canonical ones. We need
those to match on the encoded ABI, otherwise dpkg-shlibdeps will not
be able to find the objects.

* Add a new --no-sign option to dpkg-buildpackage, to make it possible to
disable all signing in a future-proof way.
* Make dpkg-buildpackage --unsigned-changes not sign .buildinfo either.
This breaks the expectations of users and tools, because there was no
way previously to request no signing at all. Closes: #852822
* Perl modules:
- Mask the machine bits for SH and MIPS in the ELF processor flags in
Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump. These do not define the ABI, and make the
objects not match when they should, when looking for shared libraries
from dpkg-shlibdeps.
- Encode the ELF ABI as a big-endian byte stream, so that decoding for
output gives meaningful results.
- Disable the NFS-unsafe warning on Linux, as using flock() on NFS has
been safe for some time now. Addresses: #677865 (on Linux)

* Stop emitting Built-For-Profiles from dpkg-gencontrol. The information
is already provided in .buildinfo files, and including it in the binary
packages makes them unreproducible even when the profile used would not
alter its contents. Closes: #831524
* Do not allow empty epochs and revisions in versions. When there's at
least one colon or one dash, we should expect epoch and revision numbers.
* Always set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-source. Use
the current date if the changelog does not have one. Closes: #849081
* Refactor update-alternatives pathname existence check into a new function.
* Avoid useless repeated lstat()s in update-alternatives.
* Only check for debian/tests/control file once in dpkg-source.
* Generate Testsuite-Restrictions fields from the test restrictions in
dpkg-source into .dsc files. Closes: #847926
Based on a patch by Iain Lane <email address hidden>.
* Improve the ELF ABI mismatch detector in dpkg-shlibdeps, by parsing the
ELF header ourselves. While still not perfect (things like linux-i386 and
hurd-i386 will still match), it will filter lots of previously matching
objects that should have been ignored, and will work even when objdump
does not know about the specific object details. Closes: #849913
* Add initial support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to dpkg-genbuildinfo. This will
make it possible to enable or disable specific features that should be
recorded in the .buildinfo file. For now only “all” and “path” are
supported. Closes: #848705
* Add again the architecture from the filename to .changes files for any
artifact with one. This reverts the change introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
* Fold the filtering and checksumming of files to distribute in a .changes
file in dpkg-genchanges into the initial loop. This way we do not include
architectures for artifacts we are not going to distribute, and do not
unnecessarily recompute the checksums for artifacts like the sources.
* Do not compute the architecture list twice in dpkg-genchanges.
* Include .buildinfo files also for source-only uploads in dpkg-genchanges.
Closes: #846164
* Fix check for expected number of binary artifacts in dpkg-genchanges, to
only take into account the artifacts that we are distributing.
* Fix parsing of Pre-Depends and Depends in dpkg-genbuildinfo, so that
the code parses both and not just the first to appear in the stanza.
Based on a patch by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.
* Add support for signed .buildinfo files to dpkg-buildpackage. Add new
-ui and --unsigned-buildinfo options. Closes: #843925
* Portability:
- On GNU/Hurd try to use the new process executable name attribute from
libps, to properly match on start-stop-daemon --exec.
* Perl modules:
- Fix Debian architecture wildcard parsing so that matching four-tuple
matchings work. Missed in dpkg 1.18.11.
Reported by Julian Andres Klode <email address hidden>.
- Add new import tags for Dpkg::Arch.
- Abort on EOF in patch name prompt in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2,
instead of getting into an infinite loop. Closes: #851441
- Call anonymous subs via -> operator instead of casting with &, and fix
bogus POD documentation to match the code.
- Add new Auto-Built-Package field to Dpkg::Control::Fields.
- Add a new debug() reporting function, and switch code to use it.
- Add new Dpkg::BuildOption parse_features() method refactored from
Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
* Documentation:
- Cleanup software requirements in README.
- Move control member file references from dpkg(1) to deb(5).
- Fix typos in docs and code comments.
- Document Auto-Built-Package field in deb-control(5).
* Build system:
- Disable disk pre-allocation by default, but let the builder re-enable
it via a new configure option. This has been causing major performance
issues on "modern" filesystems.
* Packaging:
- Add debsig-verify to dpkg Suggests. The code optionally supports this
specific signed .deb verification program.

* Add support for specifying multiple targets on «dpkg-buildpackage -T»
which will be run successively. Closes: #671074
* Reject empty upstream versions in C and perl code. These are not permitted
by deb-version(5), but the code was letting those through.
* Use lzma_cputhreads() instead of sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) as the
former is way more portable.
* Automatically decrease xz encoder threads to try to not exceed available
memory limits. This should alleviated the insane requirements of memory
needed on 32-bit architectures with many cores, which results in more
than the userspace addressable memory, when using settings such as
-z9 and/or -Sextreme in dpkg-deb. Closes: #846564
* Add new dpkg --validate-<thing> commands to validate the syntax of
various <thing>s, where the current list is «pkgname», «trigname»,
«archname» and «version».
* Use the new dpkg --validate-version command in dpkg-maintscript-helper,
instead of abusing the --compare-versions command to perform version
validation. Closes: #844701
* Allow readlink(2) to return a size smaller than stat(2) in dpkg. Some
bogus filesystems do not return the actual symlink size in st_size,
which contradicts POSIX. But allowing the case where the returned size
is smaller than the one used to allocate memory is harmless, although
suspect. Let it through, but still print a warning so that users can
install stuff but are reminded they need to get a fixed filesystem in
place. This has affected at least ecryptfs in the past and now
file-based encryption support in ext4 on Android N.
* Add new dpkg-query virtual field source:Upstream-Version. Closes: #84434
* Perl modules:
- Whitelist DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL, DPKG_ROOT, DPKG_ADMINDIR and
DPKG_DATADIR environment variables in Dpkg::Build::Info.
* Documentation:

- Add a new ENVIRONMENT section to dpkg-gensymbols(1) and document
DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL there.
- Fix bogus description of --force-confmiss in dpkg(1). Regression

Dpkg::Index to support these.
- Fix Dpkg::Deps so that architecture qualifiers only imply one another
if they are the same. Closes: #745366, #827628
- Add support for new environment variable DEB_BUILD_PATH to be able to
control the path in the fixdebugpath feature in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
- Preserve order when prepending shared library paths in Dpkg::Shlibs.
This fixes the order of paths passed via dpkg-shlibdeps -l option.
Closes: #823805
- Check whether dependency restrictions are implied in Dpkg::Deps::Simple.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings <email address hidden>. Closes: #827633
- Disable upstream tar signature when building format 1.0 source packages
in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1, as the current stable dpkg series do not
support extracting them.
- Preset Last-Update field in patch header template with current time in
Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Thanks to Daniel Shahaf <email address hidden>.
Closes: #828146
* Packaging:
- Disable libmd usage in Debian and derivatives for now.
* Build system:
- Stop allowing to set deprecated bzip2 compressor as dpkg-deb default.
- Use libmd automatically if available.
- Uniformize library build options, from --with-zlib to --with-libz,
--with-bz2 to --with-libbz2 and --with-selinux to --with-libselinux.
* Test suite:
- Bump perlcritic ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators minimum
to 99999.
- Add new pod-spell unit test.
- Refactor common unit test checks for needed things into Test::Dpkg.
- Accept perl's Lancaster Consensus AUTHOR_TESTING variable.
- Add new minimum perl version unit test.
- Add new synopsis unit test.
- Add unit tests for dependency simplification with build profiles.
* Documentation:
- Improve dpkg-buildpackage(1) on environment expectations.
- Clarify the format of the db:Status-Abbrev virtual field in
dpkg-query(1). Closes: #824515
- Document the tar entry size limitation for deb(5) format.
- Document interaction between PIE and libraries in dpkg-buildflags(1).
Based on text by Christian Seiler <email address hidden>.
- Merge ENVIRONMENT sections in dpkg-buildflags(1).
- Document various long options in dpkg-source --help output.
- Move dpkg-source -q option from “Build options” to “General options”
section in --help output.
- Clarify shared library search order in dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
- Remove most remaining AUTHOR sections from man an POD, as they are
strongly discouraged, for being redundant, tending to get out-of-sync,
and their format being inconsistent. In addition most got already
removed in the past for the man pages.
- Mark perlcritic as an optional author test dependency in the README.
- Fix example code in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle SYNOPSIS.

dpkg (1.16.18) wheezy; urgency=medium
* Remove trailing space before handling blank line dot-separator in
Dpkg::Control::Hash. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.16.
Reported by Jakub Wilk <email address hidden>. Closes: #789580
* Only use the SHELL environment variable for interactive shells.
Closes: #788819
* Move tar option --no-recursion before -T in dpkg-deb. With tar > 1.28 the
--no-recursion option is now positional, and needs to be passed before
the -T option, otherwise the tarball will end up with duplicated entries.
Thanks to Richard Purdie <email address hidden>.
Closes: #807940
* Initialize Config-Version also for packages previously in triggers-pending
state, otherwise we end up not passing the previously configured version
to «postinst configure», which might consider this a first install instead
of an upgrade. Closes: #801156
* Fix memory leaks in dpkg infodb format upgrade logic.
* Fix physical file offset comparison in dpkg. Closes: #808912
Thanks to Yuri Gribov <email address hidden>.
* Do not accept empty field names in dpkg. Closes: #769111
* When sys_siglist is defined in the system, try to use NSIG as we cannot
compute the array size with sizeof(). If NSIG is missing fallback to 32
items. Prompted by Igor Pashev <email address hidden>.
