dpkg (1.20.5ubuntu1) groovy; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
- Add Zstd compression and decompression support for binary packages.

* Revert change to prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with +
instead of *. The prefix is supposed to go in the text itself
instead of the spec name, which already had it. This change only
apparently fixed the issue at hand because gcc started parsing it as
the «[SUFFIX]:» case, completely disabling the PIE handling.
Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <email address hidden>.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
defaults. This is required here too as this class does not call the
initialization from its parent.
* Build system:
- Detect the GNU program variants for make, patch and tar in the CPAN
distribution to replace in the Dpkg module.
- Set DEB_BUILD_ARCH to a dummy “amd64” in the CPAN distribution tests
to not require a dpkg(1) in the system.
* Test suite:
- Only print the Dpkg::Path::check_directory_traversal() error on failure.

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Improve PIE flags support:
- Prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with + instead of *.
This way we do not override any previous setting, otherwise when
passing the -specs options twice (f.ex. to compile and link), only the
last one will take effect, which can break the build. Closes: #870383
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
defaults. Closes: #964017
- Dpkg::OpenPGP: Use a temporary directory for the GnuPG homedir in
verify_signature(), to make sure we do not write to the user home
directory, except for the trustkeys.db file if present.
- Dpkg::Path: Refactor new check_directory_traversal() function out of
Dpkg::Source::Package->extract().
- Dpkg::Path: Do not do partial matches for directory traversal checks,
expect a trailing slash after the base directory name.
- Dpkg::Path: Catch uncanonicanizable pathnames with a proper error.
Closes: #964111
- Dpkg::Path: Do not consider missing symlink targets a directory
traversal attempt. Closes: #964234
- Dpkg::Path: Allow /dev/null for directory traversals.
Reported by Holger Levsen <email address hidden>.
* Build system:
- Add Module::Signature as configure recommends for CPAN.
* Test suite:
- Use File::Path::make_path() instead of chained mkdir() in Dpkg_Path.t.

false. Reported by Mattia Rizzolo <email address hidden>.

* libdpkg: Do not generate a backup file for the available database.
Closes: #343578
* perl: Switch Getopt::Long from bundling to bundling_values. This means
the few scripts using Getopt::Long will stop accepting options in the
form «-ab» for «-a -b», which is not future-proof, as it does not allow
these options to get new arguments without making them ambiguous.
* dpkg-buildpackage: Remove transient backwards R³ compatibility code.
* buildtools.mk: Add support for nostrip in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS when setting
the STRIP variable.
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Do not include irrelevant packages in the Binary field.

on write, and remove the code setting them up from the dpkg postinst.
Closes: #647911
- Do not change the ownership of the triggers database directory. Either
we are running as root:root which means the ownership should be correct
already, or we are not which means we cannot change it anyway.
- Create the dpkg database directory on demand.
- Create the updates/ database directory on demand.
- Create the info/ database directory on demand.
* dpkg-architecture: Fix handling of exec failing in --command.

* dpkg-buildpackage: Do not accept equal signs as part of the hook names.
Reported by Daniel Shahaf <email address hidden>. Closes: #948291
* dselect: Mark a string for translation.
* dselect: Cleanup access methods:
- Remove harddisk methods, as they were non-functional due to fdisk
interface changes, and do not make sense anymore as we can expect users
to mount any such filesystem on their own, to then use a filesystem
method instead. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>.
- Remove cdrom method superseded by the multi_cd method.
- Remove nfs methods, as there is nothing special about NFS, and mounting
these should just be left to the local admin, who can mount any other
remote filesystem too.

mounting the necessary images or devices.
