debconf (1.4.72ubuntu10) dapper-proposed; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk, fixing a race leading to occasional hangs during
installation (LP: #62986):
- Make sure that apt status commands and debconf protocol commands under
debconf-apt-progress are properly interleaved. Closes: #425397

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu9) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #42187):
- Stop the Gnome and Kde frontends from displaying select questions with
zero or one choices, or multiselect questions with zero choices; this
was broken due to an error in multiple inheritance (thanks, Gary
Coady; closes: https://launchpad.net/bugs/42187).

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu7) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #43907):
- Handle escaped commas ("\,") and escaped spaces ("\ ") in Choices and
Value fields in questions, matching cdebconf. I've grepped the archive
for backslashes in Choices fields in templates and in db_set and
db_subst commands and found nothing that this change would break,
while it lets us use more code from d-i in the installed system.

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu6) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk, to help with live CD memory use:
- Add a --no-reload option to dpkg-reconfigure, to allow you to prevent
it from reloading templates before running confmodules. This may be
useful for performance if you know that the templates database is
already correct.

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu5) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (see Malone #42868):
- Add cloexec keyword argument to Python DebconfCommunicator class,
defaulting to False; if True, the file descriptors connected to
debconf-communicate will be marked close-on-exec.

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #41921):
- Retry readline() in the Python confmodule if it's interrupted by a
signal.

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #37934):
- Strip only trailing newlines from replies in the Python confmodule,
rather than all leading and trailing whitespace.

debconf (1.4.72ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk:
- Notice and error out on write errors (such as ENOSPC) when saving
databases. Should help with a lot of database corruption bugs.

debconf (1.4.72) unstable; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* Expand substitution variables when replying to localised METAGET
requests for description, extended_description, or choices.
* Add support for an 'escape' capability. If a confmodule sets this using
CAPB, then commands it sends to debconf will be processed for backslash
escapes (\n is a newline, \ followed by any other character is just that
character) and debconf's replies will be backslash-escaped similarly.
This allows such things as embedding newlines in substitutions and
fetching extended descriptions using METAGET; the use of a capability is
required because otherwise this would break compatibility with old
confmodules. Closes: #126753
* debconf.py: Avoid leaking a file descriptor from DebconfCommunicate.
* Fix truncation of multi-line return values to handle values over two
lines long correctly.
* Add a debconf-escape program and make the confmodules unescape text
automatically in escape mode. At present we don't escape text
automatically, but you can use 'debconf-escape -e' yourself if you want
an easy way to do that.
* Remove *.pyc and *.pyo on clean.
[ Luk Claes ]
* Translations:
- Hungarian new programs. Closes: #353933
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add the same insane kind of fork check for Qt having a working display as
we already had for GTK, since both libraries are written by monkeys who
think that having a *library* exit(3) is a good idea if there's not a
usable display. Sheesh. (On the plus side, the same monkeys have taught
users to not care if it takes a 9 ghz machine to run a simple dialog, so
who cares if we have to use expensive forking to work around your brain
damage.) Closes: #354656, #244972, #246133
