dpkg (1.18.3ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing; remaining changes in the Ubuntu delta:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- Carry over Breaks/Conflicts for triggers/upgrades until post-16.04.
dpkg (1.18.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix short-lived memory leaks in start-stop-daemon. As a side effect now
a missing group after ‘:’ on --chuid is a fatal error.
* Print the master and slave links in «update-alternatives --display».
* Print the current best alternative in the head instead of the trail
in «update-alternatives --display», with a two space indentation.
* Reimplement «update-alternatives --all» as a fully built-in command
instead of executing itself with --config per subtask.
* Reimplement «update-alternatives --set-selections» as a fully built-in
command instead of executing itself with --set or --auto per subtask.
* Add kfreebsd-armhf support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #796283
Thanks to Steven Chamberlain <email address hidden>.
* Fix «dpkg --verify» with --root.
* Fix an off-by-one write access in dpkg-deb when parsing the .deb magic.
Reported by Jacek Wielemborek <email address hidden>. Closes: #798324
* Split overlong perl regexes into multiline extended regexes.
* Switch dselect multicd method license from GPL2 to GPL2+, with consent
from all its authors.
* Fix inadvertent license change for lib/dpkg/utils.c from GPL2 to GPL2+.
* Fix segfault when using «dpkg --no-act» with a synthetic --admindir.
Reported by David Kalnischkies <email address hidden>.
* Perl modules:
- Only warn on invalid week days instead of aborting in
Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.2.
Reported by Jakub Wilk <email address hidden>.
- Do not warn when removing an empty subdirectory on source package
extraction in Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Closes: #796671
- Do not abort on parse errors from Time::Piece->strptime() for the
changelog trailer date, just queue them so that the caller can decide
if they should be warnings or actual errors. Closes: #795936
- Validate the changelog trailer date, and catch and warn or error on
bogus month names, such as unknown or unabbreviated ones.
* Test suite:
- Get the reference build flags from dpkg-buildflags.pl, instead of
hardcoding them, which might not match depending on the architecture.
Closes: #794694
- Delete any environment variable starting with DEB_ in mk.t that might
affect the test results.
* Build system:
- Add a new --with-devlibdir configure option for the C libdpkg library.
* Packaging:
- Remove unneeded --sourcedir options from dh_install calls.
- Use the new --with-devlibdir configure option to only switch libdpkg-dev
files to the multi-arch directory. Closes: #794977
* Documentation:
- Fix typos for --predep-package option name. Closes: #794688
- Add missing dashes to package-list in deb-src-control(5).
- Mark each individual required field as such, instead of using segregated
sections.
