Changelog
dpkg (1.16.9) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-source regression in "3.0 (quilt)" source packages while
unapplying patches that remove all files in a directory. Closes: #683547
* Fix segfault in field format parsing on empty strings, affecting
«dpkg-query -W -f ''» and «dpkg-deb -W --showformat=''». LP: #1035512
* Fix dpkg's French usage string which was missing the final “s“ in
--print-foreign-architectures. Closes: #685863
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Use “statoverrides” instead of “statusoverrides” in dpkg-statoverride.
Closes: #686995
* Comment out dpkg(1) documentation about disabled --command-fd option.
Closes: #685677
* Cleanup dpkg-divert unit-test environment to avoid build failures.
Closes: #687656
* Fix update-alternatives test suite to behave correctly on non-Debian
binary paths. Known to be affecting at least Gentoo and Mac OS X.
* Do not leak subcall command arguments in update-alternatives.
* Fix segfault on update-alternatives when passing --slave without any
action at all. LP: #1037431
* Fix memory leak in dpkg filesavespackage().
* Do not print garbage (or worse) on dpkg shared conffile debug output.
* Use a hash instead of a ref to a hash for keys() in Dpkg::BuildFlags
get_feature_areas(). This causes compilation failures with older perl
versions, which can be an issue with partial upgrades.
* Fix filter subpattern debug output format string to print an actual
value instead of just blanks.
* Ignore trailing filter subpattern slashes on reinclusion comparison.
This makes sure to reinclude directories previously excluded so that
contained files marked for inclusion do not fail to unpack due to a
missing directory. Closes: #688416
* Do not consider obsolete conffiles as actively owned by the package.
This ensures conffile entries are not misshandled nor mixed up when
configuring packages owning the non-obsolete conffiles. Closes: #689836
Based on a patch by Andreas Beckmann <email address hidden>.
* Properly mark in the database obsolete conffiles on package replaces.
* Sync the Conffiles field values for all package instances. Because
only the first package instance being configured will have a *.dpkg-new
conffile available to be processed, the subsequent ones need to use the
hash from the previously processed entries.
* Fix logic for previously configured conffiles, so that the shared
conffile checks actually work on reinstallation. Closes: #684776
* Avoid info database corruption and bogus accesses on unknown format
values, by always reading the format file and validating it.
* Clarify that the most probable reason for multiarch database
inconcistencies is due to upgrades from unofficial dpkg versions.
* Only satisfy a dependency on a “Multi-Arch: foreign” if arch-unqualified.
* Take architecture into account in virtual packages on remove and
configure dpkg actions. Closes: #683411
* Update update-alternatives --query format and examples in man page to
match the implementation.
* Add two missing 3rd person ‘s’ in dpkg-gensymbols(1). Closes: #689863
Thanks to Paul Menzel <email address hidden>.
* Fix regression on old-style binNMUs for packages that specify an
explicit binary version to dpkg-gencontrol, by always fixing up the
source version. Closes: #690823
