dpkg 1.14.15ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.14.15ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
   - Add m_strdup to mlib.
   - Use i686 for lpia in cputable and triplettable.
   - Hack Dpkg::Arch to return i686 for lpia.
   - tarfn.c:
     + Avoid freeing uninitialised h.{Link,}Name (can cause crash if .deb
       becomes unreadable while we start up).  (LP #138887)
     + Use m_malloc instead of malloc (and ditch ad-hoc error handling).

   Launchpad integration:
   * Implement changelog-closes-bugs for Ubuntu (see
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog).
   * Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed to dpkg-genchanges too, to make it not
     complain about unknown fields.

   DebianMaintainerField:
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check that debian/control complies to
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField: Refuse to build a source
     package if we have an Ubuntu version number, but Maintainer: is not an
     Ubuntu address. Output a warning if there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer:
     field for packages with an Ubuntu version number.
   * scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Only fail to build the source package if $DEBEMAIL
     contains 'ubuntu'. If not, only print a warning.
   * debian/control: Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field.

   Trigger support:
   * Implement triggers as per
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/04/msg00076.html (changes too
     massive to enumerate here).
   * Add "Breaks: apt (<< 0.7.6ubuntu6), aptitude (<< 0.4.6.1-1ubuntu2)", as
     triggers add two extra states, which apt and aptitude before then do not
     know about.
   * An early version of trigger support caused LP #133172. To fix which
     systems have had the broken version work we have to rename
     triggers/Deferred to triggers/Unincorp.  The error messages, comments,
     etc. will be improved later.

   Status-fd changes:
   * Changes to --status-fd and logging, motivated by the need to
     fix apt's progress reporting in the presence of triggers (not introduced
     in this version, but accidentally left out of previous merge's changelog
     entry):
    - Call log_action for trigger processing and configuration.
    - Produce "processing:" output on --status-fd for start of
      processing operations (from log_action).
    - Consolidate clone-and-hack --status-fd output writing into
      routine statusfd_send[v].
    - Improve documentation of --status-fd output.
    - Add log message at start of archivefiles() and packages()
      (which will assist debugging).
    - For upgrade, call log_message after printing to stderr,
      as is done elsewhere.
    - avoid closing fsys tarfile pipe twice even in normal
      operation - normally EBADF but might sometimes close some other
      desired fd and cause hideous doom.  (LP #137191)
    - avoid duplicate attempts to [f]close in obscure error
      situations which might conceiveably close wrong fds
    - cast &fd to void* when passing to push_cleanup cu_closefd
    - fix parse.c:parsedb to use ehflag_normaltidy in a sane way
    - when passing &fd to push_cleanup cu_closefd, make fd always static
    In the longer term --status-fd output ought probably to be made
    identical to the log output which is richer and more sanely
    formatted.

dpkg (1.14.15) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * Make sure {dpkg-dev,dselect}.preinst are included in the source tarball.
    Closes: #452730
  * Blacklist armel-specific symbols in dpkg-gensymbols. Reported by Riku
    Voipio. Closes: #457964
  * Fix typos in various manpages. Patch from A. Costa. Closes: #458276
  * Make dpkg-shlibdeps choose the right symbols files when we have several
    debian/*/DEBIAN/symbols for a given soname. Closes: #458860
  * Add a -S<pkgbuilddir> option to dpkg-shlibdeps to indicate a package build
    tree to scan first when trying to find a needed library.
  * Change dpkg-gensymbols to mark symbols that disappeared with #MISSING
    instead of #DEPRECATED, it's clearer for people.
  * Fix Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump to properly take into account R_*_COPY
    relocations. Closes: #454036
  * Explain better the order in which postinst/prerm scripts are called
    between a package and its dependencies. Thanks to Nicolas François and
    Helge Kreutzmann for their suggestions. Closes: #379641
  * Fix Dpkg::BuildOptions so that dpkg-buildpackage doesn't double all
    options in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS when called with the -j parameter.
    Closes: #453656

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Move compression related variables to a new Dpkg::Compression module.
  * Remove disabled, obsolete and quite incomplete Hebrew translations.
  * Revert dpkg-dev versioned dependency bump on dpkg >= 1.14.13 back to
    >= 1.14.6, as the compression variables are now in a module in dpkg-dev.
  * Do not disaplay garbage in dselect on monochrome terminals, by setting
    a missing ncurses character attribute. Closes: #155741, #157093
    Thanks to Sven Rudolph.
  * Do not loop endlessly in dselect with very long package descriptions.
    Closes: #179320, #342495
    Thanks to John Zaitseff.
  * Ignore wrapped lines in install-info when matching section titles.
    Closes: #214684
    Thanks to Andreas Metzler and Ian Zimmerman.
  * Do not use strdup for execvp arguments. Closes: #379027
  * Do not print 'failed to kill' warning in start-stop-daemon when polling
    the pid. Closes: #157305, #352554
    Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
  * Properly print build message in dpkg-buildpackage for lzma and bzip2
    compressed sources. Closes: #458519
  * Promote bzip2 Recommends to Depends for dpkg-dev. Closes: #458521
  * Add lzma to dpkg-dev Depends.
  * Do not automatically enable -j if DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains parallel=n,
    and allow overriding its value from the environment. Closes: #458589
  * Fix Dpkg::BuildOptions to parse all options in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, so
    that dpkg-buildpackage called with -j preserves unrecognized options.
  * Fix several signed vs unsigned value comparisons that were making some
    code to never be executed.

dpkg (1.14.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix override disparity: set priority of dselect to important.
  * Add libio-string-perl to Build-Depends as it's needed by a non-regression
    test (fix FTBFS, thus a quick upload).
  * Make dpkg-dev depend on dpkg (>= 1.14.13) as the latest Dpkg.pm is needed
    for dpkg-source.

dpkg (1.14.13) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frank Lichtenheld ]
  * Add an own manpage for Dpkg's version format. Mostly stolen
    from policy. Closes: #373003
  * Fix control file parsing for field values starting with a colon.
    Apparently nobody ever needed this until Vcs-Cvs came along.
    Closes: #453364
  * Copy the usr/share/doc directory to dpkg-dev and dselect (Instead
    of using symlinks). The space requirements are minimal and adding
    the needed dependencies to comply with policy would be way more
    inconvenient. Pointed out by Rene Engelhard. Closes: #452730
  * Allow more than one arch and more than one type of a package
    in debian/files. Parts of the patch by Goswin von Brederlow
    and Bastian Blank. Closes: #356299, #377400, #229143
  * Allow building only architecture independent packages (-A).
    Closes: #109794, #200454
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3 (no changes)

  [ Raphael Hertzog ]
  * When dpkg-shlibdeps finds a lib in a directory which is just a symlink to
    another directory that is also considered, remember the other directory
    name as the canonical one. Closes: #453885
  * dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't warn any more about libm.so.6 being unused if the
    binary is also linked against libstdc++ since g++ always add an implicit
    -lm. Closes: #454616
  * Included files in symbols files (via #include) do no more need to repeat
    the header line. Closes: #455260
  * Tweak the sort algorithm between dependencies so that intervals
    are displayed as "a (>= 1), a (<< 2)" instead of the opposite.
    Closes: #455520
  * Extend format of symbols files to support arbitrary fields of
    meta-information. First field is Build-Depends-Package used to extract the
    version requirement possibly encoded in the Build-Depends field and make
    sure that the generated dependency is at least as strict as this one.
  * Fix dpkg-gensymbols to not update version info of a deprecated symbol.
    Closes: #457739
  * Fix dpkg-source's behaviour with options -sk -sK -sp -sP. Closes: #457784

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Ignore the man pages when building without NLS support. Closes: #457673
  * Fix perl warnings:
    - Check for undefined values when reading from the alternative db.
  * Properly handle symlinks for alternatives with inexistent slave links.
    Closes: #76295, #246906, #433567, #451872, #220044, #392440, #441021
    Closes: #443241
    Based on a patch by Daniel Leidert <email address hidden>.
  * Fail when diverting to a non existent directory. Closes: #245562
    Thanks to Flavio Stanchina <email address hidden>.
  * Refactor update-alternatives.

  [ Updated dpkg translations ]
  * French (Christian Perrier, as this was trivial).
  * Spanish (Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña). Closes: #456984
  * Swedish (Peter Karlsson).

  [ Updated man pages translations ]
  * German (Helge Kreutzmann).
  * Swedish (Peter Karlsson).

  [ Updated scripts translations ]
  * French (Frédéric Bothamy).
  * German (Helge Kreutzmann).
  * Japanese (Kenshi Muto). Closes: #455841
  * Swedish (Peter Karlsson).
