Oh dear, nobody (or rather no tool) saw that yet... Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-28Only merge acquire items with the same meta keyJulian Andres Klode
Since the introduction of by-hash, two differently named files might have the same real URL. In our case, the files icons-64x64.tar.gz and icons-128x128.tar.gz of empty tarballs. APT would try to merge them and end with weird errors because it completed the first download and enters the second stage for decompressing and verifying. After that it would queue a new item to copy the original file to the location, but that copy item would be in the wrong stage, causing it to use the hashes for the decompressed item. Closes: #838441
2017-01-28COPYING.GPL: Update to recent version (address, LGPL name)Julian Andres Klode
Just copied over from common-licenses. Seems we missed to do that earlier. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-27Japanese manpages & program translation updatevictory
Committer-Notes: Complete files pulled from website as patches tend to be hard to work with in this context. Last-Translator not updated as wished. po-files refreshed. Mailingslist-Thread: <20170106014830.f843cd8b89243a8e57c4062c@gmail.com>
2017-01-27French manpages translation updateJean-Pierre Giraud
Committer notes: po file from #852485, patch applied from msg #2, further adapted as the patch the --fix-broken string is referring to apt instead of apt-get. Also changing the dot in "&apt-cache. &apt;" to a semicolon to fix the syntax error and refreshed to drop the outdated fuzzy comments. Closes: 852460
2017-01-27avoid malloc if option whitelist is disabled (default)David Kalnischkies
Config options are checked in various paths, so making "useless" memory allocations wastes time and can also cause problems like #852757. The unneeded malloc was added in ae73a2944a89e0d2406a2aab4a4c082e1e9da3f9. (We have no explicit malloc here – its std:string doing this internally)

2017-01-24travis: Do not build documentation in root jobJulian Andres Klode
This speeds up testing things as root, which is good, because we usually test as user. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-24test suite: Do not exit 0 in trap for QUITJulian Andres Klode
This hides errors in the test suite because it will exit with 0 here. Instead, just do exit 1 in most traps, and do just the cleanup in the QUIT hook. This fixes a regression introduced with the caching of the GPG home directory in 4ce2f35248123ff2366c8c365ad6a94945578d66.
2017-01-24travis: Run test suites for root and user in separate build jobsJulian Andres Klode
This hopefully cuts down on the test time. Optimally, we'd just have one build job and parallize, but that requires a tty or something, probably due to GNU parallel? Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-24basehttp: Only read Content-Range on 416 and 206 responsesJulian Andres Klode
This fixes issues with sourceforge where the redirector includes such a Content-Range in a 302 redirect. Since we do not really know what file is meant in a redirect, let's just ignore it for all responses other than 416 and 206. Maybe we should also get rid of the other errors, and just ignore the field in those cases as well? LP: #1657567
2017-01-19fix various typos reported by spellintianDavid Kalnischkies
Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: spellintian
2017-01-19fix various typos reported by codespellDavid Kalnischkies
Nothing in user visible strings. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: codespell
2017-01-19add a helper to call codespell & spellintianDavid Kalnischkies
We don't want to call these on po-files and such and even then they contain a bunch of false positives which we should better filter out or looking at the output is too daunting. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-01-19update release mappings in documentationDavid Kalnischkies
While unlikely, it would be embarrising if we would need a freeze exception for such a change, so lets do the flip now.
2017-01-19make the moo reproducibleDavid Kalnischkies
Normal cows moo every time they feel like it and it might be a "moo", "moo!" or "moo?". This is completely unacceptable behaviour in our super cow through as as a superior being it has to show its superiority over the common cows and the meager easter eggs by being fully reproducible! The second version of Chris' patch is modified to include an array of tests for this feature – which doubles as explanation for some of the moo lines by giving more exact dates – and falling back to current time if the environment is invalid + passing time around instead of having an invalid environment be an unrecoverable error (aka: Guru Meditation) as that is more inline with how apt usually behaves: The wisdom of super cow should be available to everyone, even to the most misfortune users not capable of having a valid environment variable. That makes the code slightly more ugly, so instead of requiring a young follower to produce a third version a high priest of the cult applied the finishing touches as he is used to the pain by now – and another round with the slowpoke high priest would have been a serious threat to the Debian release schedule which the cow would not approve. Closes: #848721 Signed-off-by: Super Cow Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch and guru meditation
2017-01-19stop rred from leaking debug messages on recovered errorsDavid Kalnischkies
rred can fail for a plentory of reasons, but its failure is usually recoverable (Ign lines) so it shouldn't leak unrequested debug messages to an observing user. Closes: #850759
2017-01-19remove 'old' FAILED files in the next acquire callDavid Kalnischkies
If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case) through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just to collect dust over time and eat up space. With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files. Closes: 846476
2017-01-19fix 'install --no-download' modeDavid Kalnischkies
The mode wasn't working at all if not used together with --fix-missing which while likely to come in pairs its legal to use standalone. Regression-in: eb1f04dda07c2b69549ad9fd793cca0e91841b3e
2017-01-19avoid validate/delete/load race in cache generationDavid Kalnischkies
Keeping the Fd of the cache file we have validated around to later load it into the mmap ensures not only that we load the same file (which wouldn't really be a problem in practice), but that this file also still exists and wasn't deleted e.g. by a 'apt clean' call run in parallel.
2017-01-19don't lock dpkg in update commandsDavid Kalnischkies
The update command acquires a lock on lists/, but at the end it will also require the dpkg/lock while building the binary caches. That seems rather pointless as we are only reading those files, not causing writing in them. This can also cause problems if a package installation is running and a background process (like cron) starts an update: If you are "lucky" enough the update process will pick the dpkg lock in between apt calls causing the installation process to fail.
2017-01-19don't lock dpkg in 'apt-get clean'David Kalnischkies
We get the archives/lock for clean – that is enough to ensure that other apt instances aren't interfering (or are being interfered with). We don't need to block actions involving dpkg.
2017-01-19don't show update stats if cache generation is disabledDavid Kalnischkies
Unlikely that anyone is actually running into this, but if we asked to not generate a cache and avoid it in the first step we shouldn't create one implicitly anyway by displaying the statistics.
2017-01-17test: use downloadfile instead of apthelper download-fileJulian Andres Klode
This prevents CI failures from happening in 1.3 and 1.2 and might actually be more complete. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-17Release 1.4~beta41.4_beta4Julian Andres Klode
We are basically frozen now, but (a) this wildcard thing is a bit "explosive" to call this RC and (b) you never know if you might need to add a new tiny feature and freeze can be long...
2017-01-17Update symbols file for changes in 1.3.1, 1.4~beta{1,3,4}Julian Andres Klode
This is very important stuff, especially for the ParseDepends thingy as otherwise a new python-apt build would always require the apt it was built against instead of 1.4~beta3.
2017-01-17CMake: Document that the globs are expanded during CMakeJulian Andres Klode
This will avoid people from thinking that they have to do nothing when they change the set of files. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-17https: Quote path in URL before passing it to curlJulian Andres Klode
Curl requires URLs to be urlencoded. We are however giving it undecoded URLs. This causes it go completely nuts if there is a space in the URI, producing requests like: GET /a file HTTP/1.1 which the servers then interpret as a GET request for "/a" with HTTP version "file" or some other non-sense. This works around the issue by encoding the path component of the URL. I'm not sure if we should encode other parts of the URL as well, this one seems to do the trick for the actual issue at hand. A more correct fix is to avoid the dequoting and (re-)quoting of URLs when a redirect occurs / a new request is sent. That's been on the radar for probably a year or two now, but nobody bothered implementing that yet. LP: #1651923
2017-01-17CMake: Find the Perl executable, and use it to run perl scriptsJulian Andres Klode
This is somewhat more portable than just hardcoding perl or in the triehash case /usr/bin/perl in the shebang. Thanks: Guillem Jover for the hint Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-17Read dpkg tables to handle architecture wildcardsJulian Andres Klode
Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel, but should match any-arm. With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11). There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for historical and API reasons: * The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style wildcard matching on the commandline. * The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm- is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard ending in a minus. * Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets - by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any" if there is a wildcard component. Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch() expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way. This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all things it should accept. Closes: #748936 Thanks: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com> for the initial patch
2017-01-17strutl: Provide an APT::String::Join() functionJulian Andres Klode
Thanks: James Clarke <jrtc27@jrtc27.com> for the implementation Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-01-05Release 1.4~beta31.4_beta3Julian Andres Klode
2017-01-02Run parsedepends_test for two different native archsJulian Andres Klode
Run the test for kfreebsd-i386 and amd64 and pass "amd64" as an additional argument to the function. This tests that the argument is used and thus ParseDepends returns the amd64 results even on a different architecture like i386.
2017-01-02ParseDepends: Support passing the desired architectureNiels Thykier
This is useful for e.g. Britney, where the Build-Depends would have to be parsed for multiple architectures. With this change, the call can choose the architecture without having to mess with the config. Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Closes: #845969 (jak@d.o: made the code compile)
2016-12-31allow warning generation for non-whitelisted optionsDavid Kalnischkies
The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown. Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users. ¹ not all in this iteration, but many
2016-12-31fix minimum pkgs option for dpkg --recursive usageDavid Kalnischkies
Interpreting a boolean as an int works just fine – it just hasn't the intended result – it isn't a serious problem through as the disabling of the usage of this dpkg calling style is just an "optimization"
2016-12-31apt-key: ignore gpg1 already imported secret key import failureDavid Kalnischkies
On Travis and co the default gpg implementation is gpg1 which for some reason fails if a secret key which was already imported is imported again. We would prefer it to be a NOP like gpg2 handles it so we crudely check the error message. apt-key usually doesn't deal with secret keys – it only learned to do it for manual testing and the integration framework usage, so no public interface is effected. Triggered-By: 4ce2f35248123ff2366c8c365ad6a94945578d66 Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31use FindB instead of FindI for Debug::pkgAutoRemoveDavid Kalnischkies
Again no practical difference, but for consistency a boolean option should really be accessed via a boolean method rather than an int especially if you happen to try setting the option to "true" … Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31avoid producing invalid options if repo has no hostDavid Kalnischkies
This can happen e.g. for file: repositories. There is no inherent problem with setting such values internally, but its bad style, forbidden in the manpage and could be annoying in the future. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31gets file location via FindFile instead of manual mergeDavid Kalnischkies
Unlikely to have any practical effect, but its more consistent to use the right methods instead of performing it slightly incorrect by hand. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31rename ServerMethod to BaseHttpMethodDavid Kalnischkies
This 'method' is the abstract base for http and https and should as such be called out like this rather using an easily confused name. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-12-31separating state variables regarding server/requestDavid Kalnischkies
Having a Reset(bool) method to partially reset certain variables like the download size always were strange, so this commit splits the ServerState into an additional RequestState living on the stack for as long as we deal with this request causing an automatic "reset". There is much to do still to make this code look better, but this is a good first step which compiles cleanly and passes all tests, so keeping it as history might be beneficial and due to avoiding explicit memory allocations it ends up fixing a small memory leak in https, too. Closes: #440057
2016-12-31expand -f to --fix-broken in error messagesDavid Kalnischkies
Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via low-level forced dpkg calls. Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb". And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user. Closes: #709092 Thanks: Kristian Glass for initial patch!
2016-12-31allow default build-essentials to be overriddenDavid Kalnischkies
The config list APT::Build-Essential gets a similar treatment to other lists now by having the value of the option itself be an override for the list allowing to disable build-essentials entirely as well as adding/overriding as usual by now in other lists. Reported-By: Johannes 'josch' Schauer on IRC
2016-12-31add --indep-only for build-dep commandDavid Kalnischkies
The implementation is quite different compared to --arch-only due to ABI reasons but functionality wise they are similar and usually both available for symmetry at least. Closes: #845775
2016-12-31ensure generation of valid EDSP error stanzasDavid Kalnischkies
The crude way of preparing a message to be a multiline value failed at generation valid deb822 in case the error message ended with a new line like the resolving errors from apt do. apt itself can parse these, but other tools like grep-dctrl choke on it, so be nice and print valid. Reported-By: Johannes 'josch' Schauer on IRC
