Changelog
dpkg (1.18.7) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Add new dpkg-source --require-strong-checksums option and change default.
There is no point in erroring out on this condition when signature issues
are only warnings, because we cannot guarantee we have functional keys
for old signatures. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5. Closes: #823428
* Stop using several fixed sized buffers for program reporting, which in
many cases could cause confusing truncation of long messages. Use heap
allocated formatted strings instead:
- In start-stop-daemon to report what to stop.
- In dselect to print main and access methods menu entries.
- In libdpkg command-line option parsing errors.
- In libdpkg warning, notice and info reporting.
- In libdpkg ohshit, ohshitv, ohshite and internerr. But in this case
fallback to a fixed-size emergency buffer in case of allocation or
formatting error, so that we can at least print something, even if
truncated.
Prompted by Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <email address hidden>.
* Colorize all fatal-error printing codepaths in libdpkg.
* Architecture support:
- Bump the GNU triplet cpu from i386 to i686 to match toolchain changes.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings <email address hidden>. Closes: #823619
- Clarify column descriptions in architecture table files.
* Perl modules:
- Relax dependency restrictions parsing to allow again sloppy spaces
around versions, architectures and profile restrictions.
Regression introduced in 1.18.5. Closes: #823431
- Add new require_strong_checksums option to Dpkg::Source::Package.
- Add new tests_dep option to Dpkg::Deps deps_parse() to allow the
otherwise invalid ‘@’ character in dependencies. To be used when
parsing the debian/tests/control file.
* Documentation:
- Shorten example symbol names in dpkg-gensymbols to avoid a mandb
warning due to unwrappable lines in translations.
