We are seeing 'processing' messages from dpkg first, so it makes sense
to translate them to "Preparing" messages instead of using "Installing"
and co to override these shortly after with the "Preparing" messages.
The difference isn't all to visible as later messages tend to linger far
longer in the display than the ealier ones, but at least in a listing it
seems more logical.
|
|
The progress reporting relies on parsing the status reports of
dpkg which used to repeat being in the same state multiple times
in the same run, but by fixing #365921 it will stop doing so.
The problem is in theory just with 'config-files' in case we do purge as
this (can) do remove + purge in one step, but we remove this also for
the unpack + configure combination althrough we handle these currently
in two independent dpkg calls.
|
|
Exiting the processing loop as soon as the dpkg process finishes might
leave status-fd lines unprocessed which wasn't much of a problem in the
past as the progress would just be slightly off, but now that we us the
information also for skipping already done tasks and generate warnings
if we didn't see all expected messages we should make sure we seem them
all. We still need to exit "early" if dpkg exited unsuccessfully/crashed
through as the (remaining) status lines we get could be incomplete.

cppcheck reports: (error) Iterator 't' used after element has been erased.
The loop is actually fashioned to deal with this (not in the most
efficient way, but in simplest and speed isn't really a concern here)
IF this codepath had a "break" at the end… so I added one.
Note that the tests aren't failing before (and hopefully after) the
change as the undefined behavior we encounter is too stable.
Thanks: David Binderman for reporting

We forgot to set the variable for the selection changes. Let's
set it for that and some other dpkg calls.

The dpkg frontend lock is a lock dpkg tries to acquire
except if the frontend already acquires it.
This fixes a race condition in the install command where the
dpkg lock is not held for a short period of time between
different dpkg invocations.
For this reason we also define an environment variable
DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED for dpkg invocations so dpkg knows
not to try to acquire the frontend lock because it's held
by a parent process.
We can set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED only if the frontend lock
really is held; that is, if our lock count is greater than 0
- otherwise an apt client not using the LockInner family of
functions would run dpkg without the frontend lock set, but
with DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED set. Such a process has a weaker
guarantee: Because dpkg would not lock the frontend lock
either, the process is prone to the existing races, and,
more importantly, so is a new style process.
Closes: #869546
[fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and
make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]

debSystem uses a reference counted lock, so you can acquire it
multiple times in your applications, possibly nested. Nesting
locks causes a fd leak, though, as we only increment the lock
count when we already have locked twice, rather than once, and
hence when we call lock the second time, instead of increasing
the lock count, we open another lock fd.
This fixes the code to check if we have locked at all (> 0).
There is no practical problem here aside from the fd leak, as
closing the new fd releases the lock on the old one due to the
weird semantics of fcntl locks.

It is easier to prepend our fields, but that results in confusion for
things working on the so generated records as they don't start with the
usual "Package" – that shouldn't be a problem in theory, but in practice
e.g. "apt-cache show" shows these records directly to the user who
will probably be more confused by it than tools.

By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot
just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as
a valid update for a repository.
This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This
will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking,
if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted."
Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the
future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.
|
|
Allow specifying an alternative path to the InRelease file, so
you can have multiple versions of a repository, for example.
Enabling this option disables fallback to Release and Release.gpg,
so setting it to InRelease can be used to ensure that only that
will be tried.
We add two test cases: One for checking that it works, and another
for checking that the fallback does not happen.
Closes: #886745

The summary line sounds a bit much: what we end up doing is just adding
two more guards before using results which should always be valid™.
That these values aren't valid is likely a bug in itself somewhere, but
that is no reason for crashing.

We have quite a bit of metadata available for the files we acquire, but
the methods weren't told about it and got just the URI. That is indeed
fine for most, but to avoid methods trying to parse the metadata out of
the provided URIs (and fail horribly in edgecases) we can just as well
be nice and tell them stuff directly.

gcc was warning about ignored type qualifiers for all of them due to the
last 'const', so dropping that and converting to static_cast in the

gcc has problems understanding this construct and additionally thinks it
would produce multiple lines and stuff, so to keep using it isn't really
worth it for the few instances we have: We can just write the long form
there which works better.

Mostly harmless as it just means that apt thinks that the dpkg
commandline it is building is slightly longer than it actually is and we
have various ways of avoiding generating very long lines nowadays, but
calculating the right value can't hurt.

Using hardcoded array-indexes in the build-dependency parsing is
efficient, but less discoverable and easier to break. We can avoid
this by making it even more efficient (not that it would be noticeable)
allowing us to do explicitly named comparisons instead.

APT used to parse only wellformed files produced by repository creation
tools which removed empty files as pointless before apt would see them.
Now that apt can be told to parse e.g. debian/control files directly, it
needs to be a little more accepting through: We had this with comments
already, now let it deal with the far more trivial empty fields.

In commit Do not warn about duplicate "legacy" targets, we
we added an if, that changed the .po files...
|
|
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

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.
The changes were done by running

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.
Closes: #868127

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.

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.
