2015-11-28disable privilege dropping for rsh/ssh method by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
ssh expects various configuration bits to be usable like known hosts, possibly keys and co. Setting this up needs some user work for probably not a whole lot of benefits, so instead of forcing it upon users on upgrade disable dropping for it by default. Closes: 806511

2015-11-28disable privilege-drop verification by default as fakeroot trips over itDavid Kalnischkies
Dropping privileges is an involved process for code and system alike so ideally we want to verify that all the work wasn't in vain. Stuff designed to sidestep the usual privilege checks like fakeroot (and its many alternatives) have their problem with this through, partly through missing wrapping (#806521), partly as e.g. regaining root from an unprivileged user is in their design. This commit therefore disables most of these checks by default so that apt runs fine again in a fakeroot environment. Closes: 806475
2015-11-28show the group we failed to drop via setgroupsDavid Kalnischkies
This also deals with the unlikely case of groups being mentioned multiple times or if the effective group isn't mentioned at all. In practice, it is a debugging aid through like for #806475. Git-Dch: Ignore

If it does not exist disabled priv dropping as there is nothing we can drop to. This will unblock people with special chroots or systems that deleted the "_apt" user. Closes: #806406
2015-11-27Deal with killed acquire methods properly instead of hangingMichael Vogt
This fixes a regression caussed by commit 95278287f4e1eeaf5d96749d6fc9bfc53fb400d0 that moved the error detection of RunFds() later into the loop. However this broke detecting issues like dead acquire methods. Instead of relying on the global error state (which is bad) we now pass a boolean value back from RunFds() and break on false. Closes: #806406

2015-11-25enforce a slightly more sensible default headerDavid Kalnischkies
In 12f7536 I chose to opt for a slightly better text which avoids assigning copyright to the FSF (not because it would be wrong to do it, but is usually not what the contributor intended, but just the default. xgettext has a --foreign flag for avoiding the copyright, but po4a hasn't and an empty copyright-holder doesn't work either, so this little rework of files with sed and cat.

We do not show the architecture as a dedicated field as this is rather technical information, but as packagename it makes sense to show the architecture as other part of apt will refer to it in this way.

2015-11-21do not sent Last-Modified if we expect a changed fileDavid Kalnischkies
In 8d041b4f we made apt figure out based on the last Release file it has if it should request a file or not given that the hashes changed or not. So if we have a last Release file and do a request, do not sent a Last-Modified header as we expect a change so much that a non-change would indeed be an error. The Last-Modified header is therefore at best ignored by the server, so sending it is just wasted effort. In the worst case as time is a fragile thing the server decides against sending us an update with the idea that we already have the latest content, which we know for a fact that we haven't. Given that we sent less information to the server our request is on its own also less identifiable as coming from a returning or new user. The disadvantage is that if we end up getting an old index file after getting a new Release file from another mirror the old mirror will not be able to tell us 'Hit', but instead sends us the complete file we discard, but both lets us end up with the same error class in the end, so the difference isn't big in practice.

2015-11-20do not segfault in cache generation on mmap failureDavid Kalnischkies
Out of memory and similar circumstanzas could cause MMap::Map to fail and especially the mmap/malloc calls in it. With some additional checking we can avoid segfaults and similar in such situations – at least in theory as if this is a real out of memory everything we do to handle the error could just as well run into a memory problem as well… But at least in theory (if MMap::Map is made to fail always) we can deal with it so good that a user actually never sees a failure (as the cache it tries to load with it fails and is discarded, so that DynamicMMap takes over and a new one is build) instead of segfaulting. Closes: 803417
2015-11-19do not rerun ./configure causing FTCBFS with newer autotools-devDavid Kalnischkies
If the config.{sub,guess} files we linked in were newer than our configure script we ended up recreating configure and then rerun it without all the configuration options which were (potentially) present for a previous run. We avoid this by changing to the same ruleset as in the debian/rules file which compares the config.* files against a stamp file rather than the configure script itself as its the configuration itself which depends on all scripts, not configure on the config scripts. While at it, we also drop the 'make -s dirs' call as we don't need to do it explicitly here as proper dependencies will take care of it. Thanks: Helmut Grohne for the detailed bugreport. Closes: 804923

2015-11-19ignore lost+found in private directory cleanupDavid Kalnischkies
In ce1f3a2c we started warning about failing unlinking, which we consistently do for directories. That isn't a problem as directories usually aren't in the places we do want to clean up – with the potential exeception of "lost+found", so lets ignore it like we ignore our own partial/ subdirectory. Closes: 805424

2015-11-19support setting empty values (sanely) & removing support forDavid Kalnischkies
space-gapping: '-o option= value' That is a very old feature (straight from 1998), but it is super surprising if you try setting empty values and instead get error messages or a non-empty value as the next parameter is treated as the value – which could have been empty, so if for some reason you need a compatible way of setting an empty value try: '-o option="" ""'. I can only guess that the idea was to support '-o option value', but we survived 17 years without it, we will do fine in the future I guess. Similar is the case for '-t= testing' even through '-t testing' existed before and the code even tried to detect mistakes like '-t= -b' … all gone now. Technically that is as its removing a feature replacing it with another a major interface break. In practice I really hope for my and their sanity that nobody was using this; but if for some reaon you do: Remove the space and be done. I found the patch and the bugreport actually only after the fact, but its reassuring that others are puzzled by this as well and hence a thanks is in perfect order here as the patch is practical identical [expect that this one here adds tests and other bonus items]. Thanks: Daniel Hartwig for initial patch. Closes: 693092

2015-11-19do not use _apt for file/copy sources if it isn't world-accessibleDavid Kalnischkies
In 0940230d we started dropping privileges for file (and a bit later for copy, too) with the intend of uniforming this for all methods. The commit message says that the source will likely fail based on the compressors already – and there isn't much secret in the repository content. After all, after apt has run the update everyone can access the content via apt anyway… There are sources through which worked before which are mostly single-deb (and those with the uncompressed files available). The first one being especially surprising for users maybe, so instead of failing, we make it so that apt detects that it can't access a source as _apt and if so doesn't drop (for all sources!) privileges – but we limit this to file/copy, so the uncompress which might be needed will still fail – but that failed before this regression. We display a notice about this, mostly so that if it still fails (e.g. compressed) the user has some idea what is wrong. Closes: 805069
2015-11-18tests: fail testsuccess if notices are shown, tooDavid Kalnischkies
