If a source has a legacy Contents file, and two lines mention
the same archive but different components, a warning would be
issued that is confusing. So, as the field is named Contents-deb-legacy,
let's just not print warnings for fields containing "legacy".

The relevant calling code as well as the implementation for the deb
system was removed 2 years ago with the refactoring of release
information storage (b07aeb1a6e24825e534167a737043441e871de9f).
This commit removes the the unused remains of this change with no
practical effect on anybody (expect codesize) as the methods were
declared as hidden and hence only libapt could have called it.

APT by default logs terminal (term.log) and actions (history.log), but
if either or Dir::Log directly is set to /dev/null it continues to do
so, which isn't too bad – just wasted effort – but term.log is
chmodded to protect it from the general public (as it may contain
otherwise private data the admin entired in the terminal) which
shouldn't happen for /dev/null.

As a follow up to the last commit, let's replace APT_CONST
with APT_PURE everywhere to clean stuff up.

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.
The changes were done by running
git grep -l '#\s*include' \
| grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \

To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running
./git-clang-format.sh.

Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because

Commit d7c92411dc1f4c6be098d1425f9c1c075e0c2154 parses the Components
section of (In)Release and attempts to detect the distribution's
supported components. While doing so, it handles component names with
slashes in a special manner, assuming that the actual component is only
the part after the final slash. This is done to handle
security.debian.org, which usually appears in sources.list as follows:
deb http://s.d.o/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
while the actual release file has:
Codename: stretch
Components: updates/main updates/contrib updates/non-free
While this special handing on APTs part indeed works for
debian-security, it emits spurious warnings on repositories that
actually use slashes in the component names *and* appear so in
sources.list.
We fix this by adding both component versions (whole and final part) to
the SupportedComponents array.

This should fix some issues with dpkg normalizing such
values. Suprisingly enough apt treats the Version: field
the same, even with epoch vs without, but not when searching,
and does not strip the 0: from the output.
|

This gives the repository owner a chance to explain why this change was
needed – e.g. explaining the organisational changes or simply detailing
the changes in the new release made. Note that this URI is also shown
if the change is accepted, so it also draws attention to release notes
of minor updates (if users watch apt output closely).
|
|
The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user
configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades.
A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on
the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values.
In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now
explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options
and commandline flags to accept them.
|
|
The error cases are just as unlikely as the memory leaks to ever cause
real problems, but lets play it safe for correctness.

If we couldn't find an entry for a Sources file we would generate an
error while for a Packages file we would silently skip it due to
assuming it is missing because it is empty. We can do better by checking
if the repository declares that it supports a component we want to get
the file from and if not say so and hint at the user making a typo.
An example were this helps is mozilla.debian.net which dropped the
firefox-aurora component (as upstream did) meaning no upgrades until the
user notices manually that the repository doesn't provide packages
anymore. With this commit warnings are raised hopefully causing the user
to investigate what is wrong (sooner).

If the last alternative(s) of an Or group is ignored, because it does
not match an architecture list, we would end up keeping the or flag,
effectively making the next AND an OR.
For example, when parsing (on amd64):
debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386]
=> debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev |
Which can cause python-apt to crash.
Even worse:
debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386], foobar
=> debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | foobar
By setting the previous alternatives Or flag to the current Or flag
if the current alternative is ignored, we solve the issue.

In the case of build-dep and other commands where a file can be
passed we must make sure not to normalize the path name as that
can have odd side effects, or well, cause the operation to do
nothing.
Test for build-dep-file is adjusted to perform the vcard check
once as "vcard" and once as "VCard", thus testing that this
solves the reported bug.
We inline the std::transform() and optimize it a bit to not
write anything in the common case (package names are defined
to be lowercase, the whole transformation is just for names
that should not exist...) to counter the performance hit of
the added find() call (it's about 0.15% more instructions
than with the existing transform, but we save about 0.67%
in writes...).

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"
|
|
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.

Unlikely to have any practical effect, but its more consistent to use

We try to configure all packages at the end which need to be configured,
but that also applies to packages which weren't completely installed
(e.g. maintainerscript failed) we end up removing in this interaction
instead.
APT doesn't perform this explicit configure in the end as it is using
"dpkg --configure --pending", but it does confuse the progress report
and potentially also hook scripts.

dpkg stumbles over these (#844300) and we haven't dropped 'easier'
removes to be implicit and to be scheduled by dpkg by default so far
so we shouldn't push the decision in such cases to dpkg either.
|
|
Our old idea was to look for the first package which would be "touched"
and take this as the package dpkg is talking about, but that is
incorrect in complicated situations like a package upgraded to/from
multiple M-A:same siblings installed.
As we us the progress report to decide what is still needed we have to
be reasonabily right about the package dpkg is talking about, so we jump
to quite a few loops to get it.
|
|
Given that we use the progress information to skip over actions dpkg has
already done like not purging a package which was already removed and
had no config files or not acting on disappeared packages and such it is
important that apt and dpkg agree on which states the package has to
pass through.
To ensure that we keep tabs on this in the future a warning is added at
the end if apt hasn't seen all the action it was supposed to see. I
can't wait for the first bugreporters to wonder about this…
|
|
If a package is triggered dpkg frequently issues two messages about it
causing us to make a note about it both times which messes up our
planned dpkg actions view. Adding these actions if we have nothing else
planned fixes this and should still be correct as those planned actions
will deal with the triggering just fine and we avoid strange problems
like a package triggered before its removed…
|
|
Our profile says we spend about 5% of the time transforming the
hex digits into the binary format used by HashsumValue, all for
comparing them against the other strings. That makes no sense
at all.
According to callgrind, this reduces the overall instruction
count from 5,3 billion to 5 billion in my example, which
roughly matches the 5%.
|
|
Generating a string for each version we see is somewhat inefficient.
The problem here is that the Description tag names are longer than
15 byte, and thus require an allocation on the heap, which we should
avoid.
It seems reasonable that 20 characters works for all languages codes
used for archive descriptions, but if not, there's a warning, so
we'll catch that.
This should improve performance by about 2%.
|
|
Stop copying stuff, and just parse the bytes one by-one to the
newly created AddCRC16Byte. This improves the instruction count
for an update run from 720,850,121 to 455,801,749 according to
callgrind.
|
|
This one has some obvious collisions for non-alphabetical characters,
like some control characters also hashing to numbers, but we don't
really have those, and these are hash functions which are not
collision free to begin with.
|
|
This basically gets rid of 40-50% of the hash table lookups,
making things a bit faster that way, and the profiles look
far cleaner.
|
|
You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you
want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which
can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in
quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really
hurt much.
We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in
regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config
options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them,
similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s).

These new enum values might cause "interesting" behaviour in tools not
expecting them – like an old apt would think a Build-Conflicts-Arch is
some sort of Build-Depends – but that can't reasonably be avoided and
effects only packages using B-D/C-A so if there is any breakage the
tools can easily be adapted.
The APT_PKG_RELEASE number is increased so that libapt users can detect
the availability of these new enum fields via:
#if APT_PKG_ABI > 500 || (APT_PKG_ABI == 500 && APT_PKG_RELEASE >= 1)
Closes: #837395

If the dependency line does not contain spaces in the repository
but does in the dpkg status file (because dpkg normalized the
dependency list), the dpkg line might be longer than the line
in the repository. If it now happens to be longer than 1024
characters, it would be skipped, causing the hashes to be
out of date.
Note that we have to bump the minor cache version again as
this changes the format slightly, and we might get mismatches
with an older src cache otherwise.
Fixes Debian/apt#23

If a Binary field contains one or more spaces before a comma, the
code produced a segmentation fault, as it accidentally set a pointer
to 0 instead of the value of the pointer.
If the comma is at the beginning of the field, the code would
create a binStartNext that points one element before the start
of the string, which is undefined behavior.
We also need to check that we do not exit the string during the
replacement of spaces before commas: A string of the form " ,"
would normally exit the boundary of the Buffer:
binStartNext = offset 1 ','
binEnd = offset 0 ' '
isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => --binEnd
=> binEnd = - 1
We get rid of the problem by only allowing spaces to be eliminated
if they are not the first character of the buffer:
binStartNext = offset 1 ','
binEnd = offset 0 ' '
binEnd > buffer = false, isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true
=> exit loop
=> binEnd remains 0

This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build
your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in
some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need
to strip of the initial /.

Several modules use std::array without including the
array header. Bad modules.
Some modules use STDOUT_FILENO and friends, or close()
without including unistd.h, where they are defined.
One module also uses WIFEXITED() without including
sys/wait.h.
Finally, environ is not specified to be defined in unistd.h. We
are required to define it ourselves according to POSIX, so let's
do that.

Ubuntu uses *.ddeb files for their debug packages, but the interface we
are using since f495992428a396e0f98886c9a761a804aa161c68 to talk to dpkg
isn't supporting *.ddeb files. This used to work previously as apt itself
isn't caring about the filenames at all and if they are explicitly
mentioned dpkg will accept all, too.
It might or might not be a good idea to patch dpkg, too, but regardless
of it happening, we don't want to couple us to closely to dpkg for this
minor feature but testing for this at runtime as it would delay shipping
the fix for the too long commandlines further.
It is also questionable if it is really a good idea to allow any file
extension to be used here (like .foobar in the testcase), but we used to
and we tend to avoid breaking existing usecases if we can help it.
As a bonus, this also allows the installation of ddeb files directly
from the commandline as you can with deb files already. We continue to
ignore udeb through as the user-mistake to useful ratio is too high.

In most cases apt was already skipping the (re)setting of packages as
to be removed/purged if dpkg had told us that it already did, but we
haven't dealt with it in the most obvious of the cases: Selections set
for packages we touched in this operation which either restores
selections even dpkg would have overridden or e.g. tries to restore a
purge selection for a package which was just purged – does not happen
with apt itself as it isn't using selections in this way, but higher
frontends like aptitude do.
The result in the later case is a warning printed by dpkg that we try to
set selections for an unknown package, which is harmless per se, but can
be confusing for users and we really shouldn't cause warnings in dpkg if
we can help it.

Commit 7ec343309b7bc6001b465c870609b3c570026149 got us most of the way,
but the last mile was botched by having the pending calls in the wrong
order as this way we potentially 'force' dpkg to remove/purge a package
it doesn't want to as another package still depends on it and the
replacement isn't fully installed yet.
So what we do now is a configure before remove and purge (all with
--no-triggers) and finishing off with another configure pending call to
take care of the triggers.
Note that in the bugreport example our current planner is forcing dpkg
to remove the package earlier via --force-depends which we could do for
the pending calls as well and could be used as a workaround, but we want
to do less forcing eventually.

Instead of erroring out when receiving a SIGINT, let the
child deal with it - we'll error out anyway if the child
exits with an error or due to the signal. Also ignore
SIGQUIT, as system() ignores it.
This basically fixes Bug #832593, but: we are running
the hooks via sh -c. Some shells exit with a signal
error even if the command they are executing catches
the signal and exits successfully. So far, this has
been noticed on dash, which unfortunately, is our
default shell.
Example:
$ cat trap.sh
trap 'echo int' INT; sleep 10; exit 0
$ if dash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
FAIL: 130
$ if mksh -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
OK: 0
$ if bash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
OK: 0

We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly.
Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you
can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them.
Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to
perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all
implicitly.
This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes,
*.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be
compressed) without also installing them.

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.

With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.
This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.
The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.
|
|
If a planner lets actions to be figured out by dpkg in pending calls
these actions aren't mentioned in a simulation. While that might be
a good thing for debugging, it would be a change in behavior and
especially if a planner avoids explicit removals could be confusing for
users. As such we perform the same 'trick' as in the dpkg implementation
by performing explicitly what would be done by the pending calls.
To save us some work and avoid desyncs we perform a layer violation by
using deb/ code in the generic simulation – and further we perform ugly
dynamic_cast to avoid breaking the ABI for nothing; aptitude is the only
other user of the simulation class according to codesearch.d.n and for
that our little trick works. It just isn't working if you happen to
extend pkgSimulate or otherwise manage to call the protected Go methods
directly – which isn't very realistic/practical.
|
|
The user has to approve the removal of a crossgraded package as it might
be needed to remove it (temporarily) in the process, but in most cases
we can happily avoid it and let dpkg unpack over it skipping the
remove. This has some effects on progress reporting and how deal with
selections through which makes this a tiny bit complicated.
|
|
Same reason and implementation as for configure.
|
|
A planner might not explicitly configure all packages, but we need to
know all packages which will be configured for progress reporting and to
tell the hook scripts about them as they rely on this for their own
functionality.
|
|
If we want a package to be purged from the system tell dpkg in the
ordering (if it has to touch it explicitly) to remove it and cover the
purging of the config files at the end with a --purge --pending call.
That should help packages move conffiles around between packages
correctly even if the user is purging packages directly in big actions
like dist-upgrades involving many packages.
