Changelog
dpkg (1.17.8) unstable; urgency=high
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Do not backup nonexistent database files from the cron.daily file.
And stop emitting tar warnings. Closes: #745592, #745651
* Test suite:
- Improve Perl code coverage.
- Improve C code coverage.
* Handle space-only strings when parsing versions in libdpkg.
* Document the environment requirements for the dpkg-maintscript-helper
supports command in the man page. Closes: #739634
* Improve wording for «dpkg --verify» and --verify-format in the man page.
Closes: #733057
* Switch test runner from Test::Harness to TAP::Harness.
* Use the perl TAP::Harness for the C test suite instead of the automake
tap-driver, to avoid requiring automake >= 1.12, currently not present
in stable.
* Enable failed test case reporting from the TAP::Harness, so that we get
more meaningful reports on failure from the C test suite.
* Correctly parse C-style diff filenames in Dpkg::Source::Patch, to avoid
directory traversal attempts from hostile source packages when unpacking
them. Reported by Jakub Wilk <email address hidden>. Fixes CVE-2014-0471.
[ Updated programs translations ]
* German (Sven Joachim).
* Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #745869
* Vietnamese (Trần Ngọc Quân).
