2017-02-22Do not package names representing .dsc/.deb/... filesJulian Andres Klode
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...). Closes: #854794 (cherry picked from commit 85ee4036c68d8ecd2c973d413a17aca81380900b)
2017-02-22fix 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" (cherry picked from commit 4e18c2cee6da39982cc463cafbf27eab5561099f)
2017-02-22avoid 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 (cherry picked from commit 44ecb8c3579e5ae8828f83530e4151a0ff84d5d6)

2017-02-22do not configure unconfigured to be removed packagesDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2017-02-22don't perform implicit crossgrades involving M-A:sameDavid Kalnischkies
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. (cherry picked from commit 53f3fc59f4eb37eea57bbde53fb75f2e15af0378)
2017-02-22improve arch-unqualified dpkg-progress parsingDavid Kalnischkies
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. (cherry picked from commit 4b10240cca0dc0a4e82e42959545d2ae7e622d29)
2017-02-22correct cross & disappear progress detectionDavid Kalnischkies
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… (cherry picked from commit dabe9e2482180ada77d2adda2b3c03db22059fb8)
2017-02-22react to trig-pend only if we have nothing else to doDavid Kalnischkies
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… (cherry picked from commit 066d4a5bab628ef8220971bb5763ff8f3a13de07)
2016-09-18VersionHash: Do not skip too long dependency linesJulian Andres Klode
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
2016-08-31Fix segfault and out-of-bounds read in Binary fieldsJulian Andres Klode
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

2016-08-26Make directory paths configurableJulian Andres Klode
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 /.
2016-08-26Add missing includes and external definitionsJulian Andres Klode
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.
2016-08-25treat .ddeb files like .deb, especially for dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
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. LP: #1616909
2016-08-24do not restore selections for already purged packagesDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-08-23do dpkg --configure before --remove/--purge --pendingDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 835094
2016-08-19Ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT for Pre-Install hooksJulian Andres Klode
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
2016-08-17add --with-source option and Packages/Sources supportDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-17default to Dir=/ in dpkg/status file finding magicDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2016-08-10disable explicit configuration of all packages at the endDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-10simulate all package manager actions explicitlyDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-10try to avoid removal of crossgraded packagesDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-10ensure all removes are reported to hook scriptsDavid Kalnischkies
Same reason and implementation as for configure.
2016-08-10ensure all configures are reported to hook scriptsDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-10don't purge directly, but remove and do purge at the endDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-08-10call dpkg with --no-triggers by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Implemented a long while ago now with relatively good progress reporting involving triggers is a good time to try delaying the execution of triggers across dpkg invocations finally by default. Note: The bugreport talks also about 'smarter' configuration which is a much bigger part and approached from multiple directions, but doesn't really involve triggers per-se so considering it decoupled should help in getting it done… Closes: #626599
2016-08-10select remove/purge packages early on for dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
Telling dpkg early on that we are going to remove these packages later helps it with auto-deconfiguration decisions and its another area where a planner can ignore the nitty gritty details and let dpkg decide the course of action if there are no special requirements.
2016-08-10save and restore selection states before/after calling dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg decides certain things on its own based on selections and especially if we want to call --pending on purge/remove actions, we need to ensure a clean slate or otherwise we surprise the user by removing packages we weren't allowed to remove by the user in this run (the selection might be an overarching plan for the not-yet "future"). Ideally dpkg would have some kind of temporal selection interface for this case, but it hasn't, so we make it temporal with the risk of loosing state if we don't manage to restore them.
2016-08-10use dpkg --unpack --recursive to avoid long cmdlinesDavid Kalnischkies
Having long commandlines split into two is a huge problem if it happens and additionally if we want to introduce planners which perform less micromanagment its a good idea to leave the details for dpkg to decide. In practice this doesn't work yet unconditionally as a bug is hiding in the ordering code of dpkg, but it works if apt imposes its ordering so this commit allows for now at least to solve the first problem.
2016-08-10pass --force-remove-essential to dpkg only if neededDavid Kalnischkies
APT (usually) knows which package is essential or not, so we can avoid passing this force flag to dpkg unconditionally if the user hasn't chosen a non-default essential handling obscuring the information.

2016-08-10CMake: Check for ptsname_r() againJulian Andres Klode
This was dropped in autotools as I found no use of the HAVE_PTSNAME_R macro. Turns out it was typoed as HAVE_PTS_NAME_R. Fix the #ifdef and add checks to CMake for it. Closes: #833674
2016-08-07Handle interrupt when running Pre-Install hooksJulian Andres Klode
If we receive an interrupt, set a flag and do not abort immediately without waiting for the child. Once the child exited, exit with an error if the interrupted flag is set. Closes: #832593
2016-07-22report progress for triggered actionsDavid Kalnischkies
APT doesn't know which packages will be triggered in the course of actions, so it can't plan to see them for progress beforehand, but if it sees that dpkg says that a package was triggered we can add additional states. This is pretty much magic – after all it sets back the progress – and there are cornercases in which this will result in incorrect totals (package in partial states may or may not loose trigger states), but the worst which can happen is that the progress is slightly incorrect and doesn't reach 100%, but so be it. Better than being stuck at 100% for a while as apt isn't realizing that a bunch of triggers still need to be processed.
2016-07-22use a configurable location for apport report storageDavid Kalnischkies
Hardcoding /var/crash means we can't test it properly and it isn't really our style.
2016-07-22report progress for removing while purging pkgsDavid Kalnischkies
The progress reporting for a package sheduled for purging only included the states dpkg passes through while actually purging the package – if the package was fully installed before dpkg will pass first through all remove states before purging it, so in the interest of consistent reporting our progress reporting should do that, too.
2016-07-22support "install ./foo.changes"David Kalnischkies
We support installing ./foo.deb (and ./foo.dsc for source) for a while now, but it can be a bit clunky to work with those directly if you e.g. build packages locally in a 'central' build-area. The changes files also include hashsums and can be signed, so this can also be considered an enhancement in terms of security as a user "just" has to verify the signature on the changes file then rather than checking all deb files individually in these manual installation procedures.
2016-07-22allow arch=all to override No-Support-for-Architecture-allDavid Kalnischkies
If a user explicitly requests the download of arch:all apt shouldn't get in the way and perform its detection dance if arch:all packages are (also) in arch:any files or not. This e.g. allows setting arch=all on a source with such a field (or one which doesn't support all at all, but has the arch:all files like Debian itself ATM) to get only the arch:all packages from there instead of behaving like a no-op.

2016-07-19don't hardcode /var/lib/dpkg/status as dir::state::statusDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2016-07-01reinstalling local deb file is no downgradeDavid Kalnischkies
If we have a (e.g. locally built) deb file installed and do try to install it again apt complained about this being a downgrade, but it wasn't as it is the very same version… it was just confused into not merging the versions together which looks like a downgrade then. The same size assumption is usually good, but given that volatile files are parsed last (even after the status file) the base assumption no longer holds, but is easy to adept without actually changing anything in practice.
2016-06-29write auto-bits before calling dpkg & again after if neededDavid Kalnischkies
Writing first means that even in the event of a power-failure the autobit is saved for future processing instead of "forgotten" so that the package is treated as manually installed. In some cases we have to re-run the writing after dpkg is done through as dpkg can let packages disappear and in such cases apt will move autobits around (or in that case non-autobits) which we need to store.
2016-06-29Revert "travis: use gcc-5 instead of gcc(-4.8)"David Kalnischkies
This reverts commit 2b8221d66a8284042fc53c7bbb14bb9750e9137f. Avoiding the use of GCC >= 5 stuff lets use go back to 4.8 simplifying the travis setup again as well as reducing the backport requirements in general. This is possible because the std::get_time use requiring GCC >= 5 in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 was replaced by handrolling it in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19, so the remaining uses are just small conviniences we can do without. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-28Fix buffer overflow in debListParser::VersionHash()Julian Andres Klode
If a package file is formatted in a way that that no space follows a deprecated "<", we would reformat it to "<=" and increase the length of the output by 1, which can break. Under normal circumstances with "<=" this should not be an issue. Closes: #828812
2016-06-22add insecure (and weak) allow-options for sources.listDavid Kalnischkies
Weak had no dedicated option before and Insecure and Downgrade were both global options, which given the effect they all have on security is rather bad. Setting them for individual repositories only isn't great but at least slightly better and also more consistent with other settings for repositories.
2016-06-22ensure filesize of deb is included in the hashes listDavid Kalnischkies
Filesize is a silly hash all by itself, but in combination with others it can be a strong opponent, so ensuring that it is in the list of hashes and hence checked by the normal course of action the acquire process takes is a good thing.
2016-06-22handle weak-security repositories as unauthenticatedDavid Kalnischkies
APT can be forced to deal with repositories which have no security features whatsoever, so just giving up on repositories which "just" fail our current criteria of good security features is the wrong incentive. Of course, repositories are better of fixing their setup to provide the minimum of security features, but sometimes this isn't possible: Historic repositories for example which do not change (anymore). That also fixes problem with repositories which are marked as trusted, but are providing only weak security features which would fail the parsing of the Release file. Closes: 827364
2016-06-17merge sources.list lines based on Release filenameDavid Kalnischkies
Merging by URI means that having sources lines with different URI methods results in 'strange' warning and error messages, which aren't very friendly from a user point of view as not encoding the method in the filename is effectivly an implementation detail. Merging by filename removes these messages and makes everything "work" even if it isn't working the way it is configured as the indexes aren't acquired over the method given, but over the first method for this release file (which argueably is an implementation detail stemming from the filename encoding, too). So either direction isn't perfectly "right", but personally I prefer "magic" over strange error messages (and doing a full-circle detection of this with its own messages which would need to be translated feels like way too much effort for dubious gain). Closes: 826944
2016-06-14don't use FindFile for external Dir::Bin commandsDavid Kalnischkies
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.
