Seen in cme #833656 if Dir isn't set (yet) we end up later absoluting a
path which was supposed to be absolute already, so if Dir is empty we
assume it to be '/' instead. In practice this is a bug in the software
using libapt, but for maxium compatibility lets explicitly set the
default value here to be safe.

Theoretically it should be enough to change the Dir setting and have apt
pick the dpkg/status file from that. Also, it should be consistently
effected by RootDir. Both wasn't really the case through, so a user had
to explicitly set it too (or ignore it and have or not have expected
sideeffects caused by it).
This commit tries to guess better the location of the dpkg/status file
by setting dir::state::status to a naive "../dpkg/status", just that
this setting would be interpreted as relative to the CWD and not
relative to the dir::state directory. Also, the status file isn't really
relative to the state files apt has in /var/lib/apt/ as evident if we
consider that apt/ could be a symlink to someplace else and "../dpkg"
not effected by it, so what we do here is an explicit replace on apt/
– similar to how we create directories if it ends in apt/ – with dpkg/.
As this is a change it has the potential to cause regressions in so far
as the dpkg/status file of the "host" system is no longer used if you
set a "chroot" system via the Dir setting – but that tends to be
intended and causes people to painfully figure out that they had to set
this explicitly before, so that it now works more in terms of how the
other Dir settings work (aka "as expected"). If using the host status
file is really intended it is in fact easier to set this explicitely
compared to setting the new "magic" location explicitely.

We usually use absolute paths to specific the location of dpkg, apt-key
and the like, but there is nothing wrong with using just the command
name and instead let exec(3) make the lookup in PATH.
We had a wild mixture before, so opting for the more accepting option
out of the two seems about right especially as it makes no difference in
the default case as apt uses absolute paths.

This converts all callers that read machine-generated data,
callers that might work with user input are not converted.
|
|
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other
frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high
time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
|
|
We have a few places and there will be a few more still where we have to
call dpkg to detect/set certain features or settings. Centralizing the
calling infrastructure now seems like a good idea before we add another.

Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg)
supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into
these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.

Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others)
which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the
pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes
we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it
was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort.
Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy
assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data
from one d-pointer to the other if we need it.

We have a bunch of classes which are of no use for the outside world,
but were still exported and so needed to preserve ABI/API. Marking them
as hidden to not export them any longer is a big API break in theory,
but in practice nobody is using them – as if they would its a bug.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

* apt-pkg/deb/debsystem.cc:
- set dir::state::status based at least on dir
This causes problems with alternative rootdirs
|
|
- set dir::state::status based at least on dir
|

- on gpg verification failure warn and restore the last known
good state
- on failure display the IP of the server (useful for servers
that use round robin DNS)
- support Original-Maintainer in RewritePackageOrder
- enable cdrom autodetection via libudev by default
- show messsage about Vcs in use when apt-get source is run for
packages maintained in a Vcs
- better support transitional packages with mark auto-installed.
when the transitional package is in "oldlibs" the new package
is not marked auto installed (same is true for section
metapackages)
- provide new "deb mirror://archive.foo/mirrors.list sid main"
method expects a list of mirrors (generated on the server e.g.
via geoip) and will use that, including cycle on failure
- write apport crash file on package failure (disabled by default
on debian until apport is available)
- support mirror failure reporting (disabled by default on debian)

resolver

- support having CDs with no Packages file (just a Packages.gz)
by not forcing a verification on non-existing files
(LP: #255545)
- remove the gettext from a string that consists entirely
of variables (LP: #56792)

Thanks to M. Vefa Bicakci (LP: #80248)
* build fixes for g++-4.4
* cmdline/apt-mark:
- add "showauto" option to show automatically installed packages
* document --install-recommends and --no-install-recommends
(thanks to Dereck Wonnacott, LP: #126180)
