Changelog
dpkg (1.16.0) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ] * Use DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE environment variable as package name on dpkg-divert when no --package or --local options have been specified. * Do not allow versions starting with non-digit when doing strict parsing, warn otherwise. * Update dpkg(1) to note that --status-fd output does not contain newlines in error messages anymore (this was fixed in 1.15.0). * Add a new --status-logger option to dpkg, similar to --status-fd but instead invoke the command ourselves and feed the status information to its standard input. Suggested by Raphaël Hertzog. * Add missing space in update-alternative --set-selections output. * Add missing options to update-alternative --help output. * Count “conffile name is duplicated” for dpkg-deb warning count summary. * Improve and clarify strings for translation. Closes: #604914 * Prefix all fatal error messages with “error: ”. * Do not check presence of update-rc.d in the PATH in dpkg, as it's not a program needed for dpkg correct operation. * Fix dpkg -GEO options on multiple versions of the same packages. Closes: #31141 * Propagate --admindir to programs run from maintainer scritpts. Closes: #97076 * Do not fail when trying to remove the root directory. This will only happen either on distributions where dpkg is a foreign package manager, or on artificial dpkg databases. * Always warn when parsing any package control data which does not have an Architecture field except for status and status log files when packages are not-installed or half-installed. * By default reject installing packages w/o an Architecture field. They now need --force-architecture, dpkg will still warn about them though. * Fix build failure when passing --disable-nls to configure. * Do not segfault on “dpkg -i --no-act”. * Add missing semicolon to the vsnprintf() compat declaration. Thanks to Robert Millan. Closes: #612203 * On install for Ubuntu adjust the i386 GNU cpu name in cputable. Thanks to Colin Watson <email address hidden>. Closes: #611741 * Sync the info database directory on unpack instead of the temporary control information directory, and print the correct pathname on error instead of the last file acted on that directory. * Document in dpkg-query --help output and man page that --list and --show arguments are optional. * Do not read and write the available file unnecessarily. Thanks to Michel Lespinasse <email address hidden>. Closes: #397121 * Fix typo in «dpkg-name --overwrite» argument parsing so that it actually works at all. Thanks to Ivan Gagis <email address hidden>. LP: #728708 * Add armhf support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #594179 * Set the modification time for unpacked symlinks on supported systems. * Fix undefined value useage in dpkg-genchanges when adding files w/o a matching architecture, because they are not present in debian/control, this is most commonly the case due to dpkg-distaddfile. * Terminate immediately on dpkg-divert rename errors instead of propagating up the error codes, this improves error reporting and avoids triggering leak detectors. Closes: #620380 * When moving a diverted file across filesystems in dpkg-divert, remove the source file. [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * Fail properly when debian/source/format is empty. Closes: #600854 * Add new deb-src-control(5) manual page documenting the debian/control file contained in source packages. - it documents the X[SBC]- prefix. Closes: #476335 - it documents the VCS-* fields too. Closes: #483119 Thanks to Oxan van Leeuwen <email address hidden> who wrote it as part of the Google Code In program. * Enhance dpkg-shlibdeps to not fail immediatly when a library is not found. Instead continue and fail after all problems have been reported. Thanks to Chris Baines <email address hidden> for the patch. Closes: #596841 * Fix dpkg-source to not list Debian packaging files as modified upstream files in Format "1.0" when unpacking to a non-standard directory. * Apply patch from Colin Watson to let dpkg-buildflags return -O3 instead of -O2 when building ppc64 packages on Ubuntu. Closes: #612472 * Add new function get_control_path() to Dpkg::Path, it wraps dpkg-query --control-path. * Update dpkg-shlibdeps to be multiarch-ready: - use get_control_path() to find symbols/shlibs files - parse correctly the output of dpkg --search * Small fix to support files >2GB in .deb on 64-bit systems. Closes: #616502 Thanks to Martin Dorey <email address hidden> for the patch. * dpkg-source now keeps the file ordering in the autogenerated patch when regenerating it. Closes: #606080 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch. * dpkg-source now uses a timestamp retrieved from the filesystem when resetting the timestamp of patched files so that a time skew when using NFS doesn't introduce any inconsistency. Closes: #613023 Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden> for the patch and the diagnosis. * dpkg-source will now remove quilt's .pc directory when --unapply-patches is in use. Closes: #591858 * dpkg-source is now a bit less strict when parsing patches: - it accepts seeing the same file twice; Closes: #608829 - it doesn't match on the English text "No newline at end of file" as it might be translated in some cases. Closes: #612465 * Improve parser in Dpkg::Control::Hash to not require an empty line before the PGP signature. Closes: #617923 Thanks to Roger Leigh for the initial patch. * Fix a regression in dpkg-divert where using --rename led to a failure when the rename implies crossing file systems. Thanks to Durk Strooisma for spotting it. * Use the correct mtime when installing a file with statoverrides. Regression introduced in 1.16.0. LP: #739179 * Remove duplicate word in german translation of dpkg(1). Closes: #616096 * Strip repeated non-significant spaces before and after newlines in Uploaders. Closes: #598922 * Ignore whitespaces after options in headers of changelog entries. Closes: #605719 * Fix dpkg-source's regression with empty patches (introduced while fixing #613023). Closes: #619541 [ Jonathan Nieder ] * Remove support for use of synchronous sync(2), due to its pernicious side-effects and to ease maintenance. * Clarify that an up-to-date dpkg only needs to be unpacked for dpkg-maintscript-helper to work. [ Steve Langasek ] * Add new variables to dpkg-architecture, DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH and DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH, that return the "ideal" GNU triplet for each architecture which should be used as the path component for library installation. [ Mark Hymers ] * Add support for Built-Using field. Closes: #619311 [ Updated programs translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). * Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo). * Spanish (Javier Fernandez-Sanguino). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated man page translations ] * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated scripts translations ] * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated dselect translations ] * Spanish (Javier Fernandez-Sanguino). -- Guillem Jover <email address hidden> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 23:56:54 +0200
