2018-05-21Increase debug verbosity in `apt-get autoremove`Filipe Brandenburger
When running with Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes, explain why certain packages are being marked, either because they're marked essential/important or because they match the blacklist from APT::NeverAutoRemove. This should help troubleshoot cases where autoremove is not proposing removal of packages expected to be up for removal. Tested manually with `apt-get autoremove -o Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes`.

2017-12-13don't auto-switch candidate if installed is good enoughDavid Kalnischkies
If we perform candidate switching in requests like "apt install foo/bar" we should first check if the dependencies of foo from release bar are already satisfied by what is already installed before checking if the candidate (or switched candidate) would.
2017-08-24Replace APT_CONST with APT_PURE everywhereJulian Andres Klode
As a follow up to the last commit, let's replace APT_CONST with APT_PURE everywhere to clean stuff up.
2017-07-26support compressed extended_states file for bug triageDavid Kalnischkies
This file isn't compressed by default, but it might be compressed by a bugreporter and uncompressing it is extra work apt could do just as well on the fly as needed just like it does for the dpkg/status file.
2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
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)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.
2017-07-12Drop cacheiterators.h includeJulian Andres Klode
Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.

2016-07-22clean up default-stanzas from extended_states on writeDavid Kalnischkies
The existing cleanup was happening only for packages which had a status change (install -> uninstalled) which is the most frequent but no the only case – you can e.g. set autobits explicitly with apt-mark. This would leave stanzas in the states file declaring a package to be manually installed – which is the default value for a package not listed at all, so we can just as well drop it from the file.
2016-07-01protect only the latest same-source providers from autoremoveDavid Kalnischkies
Traditionally all providers are protected providing something as apt can't know which of them is actually really providing the functionality for the user ensuring that we don't propose the removal of used stuff, but that is of course also keeping stuff around which could be removed. That can cause the collection of multiple old providers until the provided package is itself no longer needed (e.g. out-of-tree kernel modules). We combat this by marking providers only from the newest source package version so that old providers built by older versions of the same source package can be garbage collected.
2016-06-30more explicit MarkRequired algorithm code (part 2)David Kalnischkies
As the previous commit, this shouldn't change behavior at all, but beside being more explicit and perhaps faster its also considerably shorter (granted, mostly by if0-block elimination). Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-30more explicit MarkRequired algorithm codeDavid Kalnischkies
Piling everything in a single if statement always made my head wobble, but it hasn't even a benefit as the most common case of a package which isn't installed passes all of the old if and lands in the non-existent else-part of the inner if. So beside a subjective cleanup of what goes on this implementation should also be a bit faster. No change in behavior should be present. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-06-29if reading of autobit state failed, let write failDavid Kalnischkies
If we can't read the old file we can't just move forward as that would discard potentially discard old data (especially other fields). We let it fail only after we are done writing the new file so a user has the chance to look into and merge the new data (which is otherwise discarded).
2016-04-28factor out Pkg/DepIterator prettyprinters into own headerDavid Kalnischkies
The old prettyprinters have only access to the struct they pretty print, which isn't enough usually as we want to know for a package also a bit of state information like which version is the candidate. We therefore need to pull the DepCache into context and hence use a temporary struct which is printed instead of the iterator itself.
2016-04-28respect user pinning in M-A:same version (un)screwingDavid Kalnischkies
Using Pkg.CandVersion() here is wrong as its implementation will return a candidate based just on the default policy settings ignoring user preferences and otherwise set candidates (aka: it sidesteps the pkgDepCache). This causes M-A:same libraries to be detected as screwed even through they aren't, so that they end up being kept back. Reported-By: Felipe Sateler on IRC
2016-03-27Do not mark packages for keep that we want to removeJulian Andres Klode
If the package is marked for removal, keep it marked for removal and do not mark it for keep. If we mark it for keep, we some how later get to a different stage where it is marked for unpack instead of removal. In the example in the bug report, we would get a: SmartUnPack maas-region-controller-min:amd64 (replace version 2.0.0~alpha3+bzr4810-0ubuntu1 with Segmentation fault maas-region-controller-min:amd64 was marked for removal, but we changed it to keep and somehow it thinks that this is to be replaced now instead of removed (probably because the InstallVer != CandidateVer [with InstallVer = 0]). This fixes a regression introduced in release 1.2.7, commit: 0390edd5452b081f8efcf412f96d535a1d959457 Reported-by: LaMont Jones on IRC LP: #1562402
2016-03-16do not strip epochs from state version stringsDavid Kalnischkies
The epoch stripping in this code is done since day one, but in other places we show a version epochs are not stripped. If epochs are present in packages they tend to be an important information which we can't just drop and especially can't drop "sometimes" as that confuses users and tools alike – so even if removing code in use for (close to) 18 years feels wrong, it is probably the right choice for consistency. Closes: 818162
2016-03-15Fix bug where the problemresolve can put a pkg into a heisenstateMichael Vogt
The problemresolver will set the candidate version for pkg P back to the current version if it encounters an impossible to satisfy critical dependency on P. However it did not set the State of the package back as well which lead to a situation where P is neither in Keep,Install,Upgrade,Delete state. Note that this can not be tested via the traditional sh based framework. I added a python-apt based test for this. LP: #1550741 [jak@debian.org: Make the test not fail if apt_pkg cannot be imported]
2016-01-25prefer upgrading installed provides satisfierDavid Kalnischkies

2015-11-04sanify API to get 'the' candidate versionDavid Kalnischkies
This was discussed a while ago on #debian-apt and now that I see myself making this mistake lets bite the bullet and fix it in the easy way out version: Using a new name which fits with a similar named setter and deprecate the old method instead of 'hostily' changing API. Closes: #803471

2015-08-10move manual-bit from 'oldlibs' pkg to its dependenciesDavid Kalnischkies
oldlibs used to be in APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections so that old transition packages can be removed without causing the then (autoinstalled) renamed package to be autoremoved. It isn't ideal through as ideally you want the oldlibs package to be removed after nothing depends on it anymore regardless of if you have once installed it by hand or not – and if you had the package talking over (the dependencies) should carry the manual bit now as they are the real deal now. As an added bonus if the package has no dependencies because it is an oldlibs without a direct replacement you should move away from (like lib1 and lib2 are currently in the archive, but there will hopefully only be lib2 in the release) you get a lib1 marked as auto. If the user still needs the oldlibs package for some reason all he has to do is mark it as manual once as this move is only performed if a installed package changes its section from a not-Move-Autobit-Sections to a Move-Autobit-Sections.
2015-08-10move APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections handling to MarkDeleteDavid Kalnischkies
Having the handling in MarkInstall means that it just effects installation of the metapackage, but if the dependencies change the new dependencies aren't protected (and the old dependencies are still protected for no 'reason'). Having it in MarkDelete means that if a metapackage is sheduled for removal all its currently installed dependencies are marked as manual, which helps against both as in this case there is no new/old and additionally if a user decides the installation of a metapackage was wrong he can just remove it explicitely avoid the manual marking entirely.
2015-08-10mark again deps of pkgs in APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections as manualDavid Kalnischkies
In 50ef3344c3afaaf9943142906b2f976a0337d264 (and similar for other branches), while 'fixing' the edgecase of a package being in multiple sections (e.g. moved from libs to oldlibs in newer releases) I accidently broke the feature itself completely by operating on the package itself and no longer on its dependencies… The behaviour isn't ideal in multiple ways, which we are hopefully able to fix with new ideas as mentioned in the buglog, but until then the functionality of this "hack" should be restored.

2015-08-10split-up Dependency structDavid Kalnischkies
Having dependency data separated from the link between version/package and the dependency allows use to work on sharing the depdency data a bit as it turns out that many dependencies are in fact duplicates. How many are duplicates various heavily with the sources configured, but for a single Debian release the ballpark is 2 duplicates for each dependency already (e.g. libc6 counts 18410 dependencies, but only 45 unique). Add more releases and the duplicates count only rises to get ~6 for 3 releases. For each architecture a user has configured which given the shear number of dependencies amounts to MBs of duplication. We can cut down on this number, but pay a heavy price for it: In my many releases(3) + architectures(3) test we have a 10% (~ 0.5 sec) increase in cache creationtime, but also 10% less cachesize (~ 10 MB). Further work is needed to rip the whole benefits from this through, so this is just the start. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10bunch of micro-optimizations for depcacheDavid Kalnischkies
DepCache functions are called a lot, so if we can squeeze some drops out of them for free we should do so. Takes also the opportunity to remove some whitespace errors from these functions. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10show or-groups in not-installed recommends and suggests listsDavid Kalnischkies
Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old ShowList.
2015-08-10make all d-pointer * const pointersDavid Kalnischkies
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.

Some of them modify the ABI, but given that we prepare a big one already, these few hardly count for much. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.
2015-05-11rewrite all TFRewrite instances to use the new pkgTagSection::WriteDavid Kalnischkies
While it is mostly busywork to rewrite all instances it actually fixes bugs as the data storage used by the new method is std::string rather than a char*, the later mostly created by c_str() from a std::string which the caller has to ensure keeps in scope – something apt-ftparchive actually didn't ensure and relied on copy-on-write behavior instead which c++11 forbids and hence the new default gcc abi doesn't use it.

Slightly rewriting the code to ensure we only use two sources for the versions as it could otherwise be confusing to look at.

Unlikely perhaps, but there is no guarantee that the directory we want to drop the file into actually exists, so create it if we must.

2014-08-29initialize iPolicyBrokenCount in DepCache::UpdateWarren He
All other counters are correctly initialized here, expect this one. The practical effect is low as in apt we usually just do "!= 0" checks, but only correct counters are good counters. Closes: 758397
2014-06-18remove the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a horribly unpredictable thing. We therefore directly remove this struct member to free some space and mark the access method as deprecated, which is told to return the section of the 'newest' known version, which is at least predictable, but possible not what it returned before – but nobody knows. Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …).
2014-06-07do not revert candidate for protected packagesDavid Kalnischkies
In commit 21b3eac8 I promoted the check for installable dependencies to a pre-install check, which also reverts to a known good candidate (the installed version) if it fails. This revert was done even for user requested candidate switches which disabled our Broken detection so that install requests which are impossible to satisfy do not fail anymore, but print an (incomplete) solution proposal and then exit successfully. Closes: 745046

2014-03-23discard candidates via IsInstallOk to allow overrideDavid Kalnischkies
In commit 446551c8 I changed MarkInstall to discard the candidate if the candidate can't satisfy the dependency. This breaks interactive solvers like aptitude which can change the candidate on-the-fly later. In commit df77d8a5 I introduced this 'early' loop-breaking to begin with which can't be that helpful for interactive solvers as well, but makes perfect sense for non-interactives to stop them from exploring trees which can't be satisfied, but it isn't perfect as ideally we would check this before auto-installing the first dependency. This commit therefore moves the loop into its own IsInstallOk hook so that frontends can override this check if they want to and in exchange removes the loop-breaking from MarkInstall itself and does it before any dependency is installed. Closes: 740750
2014-03-23do IsInstallOk call in MarkInstall unconditionallyDavid Kalnischkies
Hooked checks could be influenced by AutoInst as a lot can happen between a call without and one with this bit set. The real cache-hit check is above this call already. Individual hooked checks can then inspect the state if they want to cache. Calling them multiple times shouldn't be a problem either way.
