dpkg (1.17.5ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
- Change the multiarch downgrade version checks in prerm/postrm
from 1.16.2 to 1.16.0~ to reflect when multiarch landed in Ubuntu.
- Migrate dpkg multiarch conffile (and other multi-arch-related
conf settings) to the new DB with dpkg --add-architecture, but
keep a copy of the old conffile if it was modified.
- Out of paranoia, keep an option handler for foreign-architecture
that informs people that they need to scrub their config files
and upgrade, on the off chance that the above migration fails
for some reason (this mitigates the chances of leaving users with
a dpkg that fails to run due to a broken config).
- 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. This is useful for tools
that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
reporting with the untranslated error message.
- Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
- lib/dpkg/pkg-spec.c: 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
dpkg's own trigger database.
- Add logic to the postinst to `dpkg --add-architecture i386' on new
installs on amd64, and to also do so on upgrades from pre-conffile
Ubuntu versions, mimicking our previous behaviour with the conffile.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider RC packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
dpkg (1.17.5) unstable; urgency=low
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Switch non-tty output to be line buffered by default, and set it to fully
buffered only for programs with precious and abundant output, not just
progress reporting output (i.e. dpkg-query). This was causing out-of-order
error and debug messages in relation to normal progress reporting, which
could be very confusing. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.2.
* Fix segfault in update-alternatives when adding or renaming slaves for
an existing alternative. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.2.
Closes: #731710
* Fix dpkg-maintscript-helper symlink_to_dir and dir_to_symlink commands:
- Always run postinst code regardless of prior-version, as the package
might have been never configured before.
- Be more strict when checking the expected state of paths.
- Rename subcommand shell code to check-files-ownership.
- Change dir_to_symlink switch code to use a staging empty directory,
to avoid dpkg removing files from other packages, when removing the
package old files during upgrade.
- Bump minimal version in man page to 1.17.5.
Closes: #731730

dpkg (1.17.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Keep the diversions and statoverride database files open during dpkg
runs, to avoid eager inode number reuse by the filesystem if these files
get replaced multiple times in maintainer scripts, as we rely on the
inode numbers being different when checking if the databases need to
be reloaded. Regression introduced in 1.17.2. Closes: #731524
* Add debug output to diversions and statoverride database loading code.
* Reset the statoverrides information from the in-core database when
reloading it from disk, otherwise removals in maintainer scripts will
not be seen during the current dpkg run.
* Get rid of dpkg-split global partqueue queue variable.
* Use warningv() in dpkg instead of ad-hoc printing message when
overriding with --force option.
* Switch URLs in docs and code comments from http:// to https:// if the
latter is available.
dpkg (1.17.3) unstable; urgency=low

* Check availability of warning flags at build time. Fixes a build failure
on systems with old g++ compilers not accepting -Wc++11-compat.
* Move DPKG_C_C99 call just after AC_PROG_CC, so that subsequent checks
can take advantage of the possibly set flags to enable C99 features.
* Improve configure C99 compiler check output.
* Use C++11 nullptr instead of 0 or NULL, which is way more descriptive
and has a better type. Check for C++11 compiler support, and fallback
nullptr to 0 if unavailable.

reset the loop detector and avoid the assert. Closes: #143307
* Activate all path components for file triggers on removal.
Regression introduced in 1.17.0. Closes: #725437
* Activate file triggers on disappearance more accurately, only when we know
we are inevitably removing things.

* When update-alternatives is told to change slave links, do not warn that
the link group is broken, just print a notice that the alternative is
being updated due to the changes.
* Add a new «dpkg --verify» command to check the integrity of packages
installed files. Add a --verify-format option to excplicitly select the
output format, currently only rpm compatible output is supported, but
the default might change in the future. Closes: #187019
* Improve dpkg “Preparing to replace” and “Unpacking” progress messages.
Closes: #32427, #71106
* Print the package version on main dpkg progress messages.
* Do not store timestamps in gzip headers when using the command, to try to
mimic the zlib behavior. This does not affect Debian as it's been using
zlib for a very long time. Closes: #719844
* Reset environment variables affecting compressor commands when not using
the shared library implementations. Namely XZ_DEFAULTS, XZ_OPT, BZIP and
BZIP2.
* Use a simple list to track packages owning a file, instead of using a
list of arrays of pointers which waste 10 pointers per non-shared file,
instead of 1. This significantly reduces dpkg memory usage.
* Honor new DEB_SIGN_KEYID environment variable in dpkg-buildpackage.
Suggested by Harald Dunkel <email address hidden>. Closes: #615813, #719418
* Always check subprocess exit codes in Dpkg::Source::Package modules.
Reported by Ian Jackson <email address hidden>.
* Add support for pie and stack-protector options to dpkg-buildflags FFLAGS,
and update the man page to mention FFLAGS are a subset of CFLAGS.
Closes: #726932
* Improve and unify -O option handling in dpkg-genchanges, dpkg-gensymbols
and dpkg-shlibdeps, by always taking an optional filename argument and
describing in the man page the default output files.
* Use “hyphen” instead of “dash” when we mean the ‘-’ character in the
documentation and code comments.
* Do not NULL-terminate the list in the compat scandir(), as this might
cause a segfault in case the function returns 0 entries.
* Always return from ensure_statoverrides() if file is NULL, otherwise
we might get us to read garbage from memory or segfault.

$default_compression and $compression_re_file_ext package variables.
- Dpkg::Exit: Deprecate @handlers package variable.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Deprecate $diff_ignore_default_regexp and
@tar_ignore_default_pattern package variables.
- Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian: Deprecate $regex_header and
$regex_trailer package variables.
* Add GnuPG 2.x support. Add gnupg2 and gpgv2 as alternative Recommends to
gnupg and gpgv (to not pull them by default), but prefer gpgv2 over gpgv,
and gpg2 over gpg at run-time if they are available.
* Switch dpkg conflictor tracking from a fixed-size array to a queue,
fixing several related issues, due to conflictors not being removed from
the array after processing them. dpkg could fill it due to additions in
previous package processing producing very confusing error messages; and
a theoretical problem where a package could get appended to be removed,
then reinstalled as a new version, to get removed again when revisiting
the array in a subsequent package processing. Closes: #726112
* Do not accept empty field names in dpkg.
* Do not accept an initial hyphen in field names.
* Add experimental build profiles support:
- Add support for <!profile.name> build-time restrictions in dependencies.
- Add support for DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment variable.
- Add new option -P to dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-checbuilddeps.
- Add new Built-For-Profiles output field in .deb and .changes files.

dpkg (1.16.12ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low
* Merge with Debian stable-proposed-updates, remaining changes:
- Change the multiarch downgrade version checks in prerm/postrm
from 1.16.2 to 1.16.0~ to reflect when multiarch landed in Ubuntu.
- Migrate dpkg multiarch conffile (and other multi-arch-related
conf settings) to the new DB with dpkg --add-architecture, but
keep a copy of the old conffile if it was modified.
- Out of paranoia, keep an option handler for foreign-architecture
that informs people that they need to scrub their config files
and upgrade, on the off chance that the above migration fails
for some reason (this mitigates the chances of leaving users with
a dpkg that fails to run due to a broken config).
- 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. This is useful for tools
that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
reporting with the untranslated error message.
- Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
- lib/dpkg/pkg-spec.c: 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
dpkg's own trigger database.
- Add logic to the postinst to `dpkg --add-architecture i386' on new
installs on amd64, and to also do so on upgrades from pre-conffile
Ubuntu versions, mimicking our previous behaviour with the conffile.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider RC packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- Don't set unsupported -fstack-protector in dpkg-buildflags on arm64.
* Add ppc64el/powerpc64le support to cputable (backported from 1.17.2)
dpkg (1.16.12) stable; urgency=low
* Fix value caching in Dpkg::Arch by not shadowing the variables.

* Fix usage of non-existent _() function in multiple places of the Perl
code. Thanks to Lincoln Myers <email address hidden> for the patch.
Closes: #708607
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix chmod() arguments order in Dpkg::Source::Quilt. Closes: #710265
Thanks to Pablo Oliveira <email address hidden>.
* Only ignore older packages if the existing version is informative. This
allows any program using libdpkg to parse the available file to see again
packages with versions lesser than 0-0 (like 0~0-0). Closes: #676664
* Fix use after free in dpkg_arch_load_list() on libdpkg.
