2017-12-13avoid some useless casts reported by -Wuseless-castDavid Kalnischkies
The casts are useless, but the reports show some where we can actually improve the code by replacing them with better alternatives like converting whatever int type into a string instead of casting to a specific one which might in the future be too small. Reported-By: gcc -Wuseless-cast
2017-12-13convert various c-style casts to C++-styleDavid Kalnischkies
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 process removes the here harmless warning to avoid hidden real issues in them later on. Reported-By: gcc Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-12-13deprecate the single-line deprecation ignoring macroDavid Kalnischkies
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. Reported-By: gcc Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-12-13fix over-calculating dpkg commandline lengthDavid Kalnischkies
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. Reported-By: gcc -Wmultistatement-macros
2017-12-13explicitly name token in auth.conf parsing errorDavid Kalnischkies
Reported-By: gcc -Wsign-promo
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.
2017-12-13if insecure repo is allowed continue on all http errorsDavid Kalnischkies
If a InRelease file fails to download with a non-404 error we assumed there is some general problem with repository like a webportal or your are blocked from access (wrong auth, Tor, …). Turns out some server like S3 return 403 if a file doesn't exist. Allowing this in general seems like a step backwards as 403 is a reasonable response if auth failed, so failing here seems better than letting those users run into problems. What we can do is show our insecure warnings through and allow the failures for insecure repos: If the repo is signed it is easy to add an InRelease file and if not you are setup for trouble anyhow.

2017-11-19allow multivalue fields in deb822 sources to be foldedDavid Kalnischkies
The documentation said "spaces", but there is no real reason to be so strict and only allow spaces to separate values as that only leads to very long lines if e.g. multiple URIs are specified which are again hard to deal with from a user PoV which the deb822 format is supposed to avoid. It also deals with multiple consecutive spaces and strange things like tabs users will surely end up using in the real world. The old behviour on encountering folded lines is the generation of URIs which end up containing all these whitespace characters which tends to mess really bad with output and further processing. Closes: 881875
2017-10-28use store: instead of gzip: to open local changelogsDavid Kalnischkies

2017-10-25Don't segfault if receiving a method warning on empty queueJulian Andres Klode
We would like to issue a warning about seccomp support in Configuration(), but since the queue is empty, there is no current item to show the URL for and we get a segfault. Show the protocol instead.
2017-10-22Run the ProxyAutoDetect script in the sandbox againJulian Andres Klode
The previous change moved running the proxy detection program from the method to the main process, so it runs as root and not as _apt. This brings it back into the sandbox. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-10-22Run Proxy-Auto-Detect script from main processJulian Andres Klode
This avoids running the Proxy-Auto-Detect script inside the untrusted (well, less trusted for now) sandbox. This will allow us to restrict the http method from fork()ing or exec()ing via seccomp.
2017-10-20Fix testsuite for and add new fields from dpkg 1.19Julian Andres Klode
tagfile-order.c: Add missing fields from dpkg 1.19 For binary packages, this is Build-Essential; for source packages, it is Description. test-bug-718329-...: Ignore control.tar.*, changes in dpkg 1.19 test-apt-extracttemplates: Fix for dpkg 1.19
2017-10-05send the hashes for alternative file correctlyDavid Kalnischkies
This isn't really used by the acquire system at all at the moment and the only method potentially sending this information is file://, but that used to be working correctly before broken in 2013, so better fix it now and worry about maybe using the data some day later. Regression-Of: b3501edb7091ca3aa6c2d6d96dc667b8161dd2b9
2017-09-26use pkgTagSection::Key in srcRecords parserDavid Kalnischkies
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. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-09-26allow empty build-dependency fields in the parserDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: #875363
2017-09-13Fix translator comment location for legacy target warningJulian Andres Klode
In commit Do not warn about duplicate "legacy" targets, we we added an if, that changed the .po files...
2017-09-10CMake: Properly handle Udev missingJulian Andres Klode
When udev is not available, the variables for libraries and include paths are set to NOTFOUND rather than an empty string and CMake exits with an error. Use a generator expression to only use these variables when UDEV_FOUND is true.
2017-09-09Directly link against libudev on Linux systemsJulian Andres Klode
We previously dlopen()ed it, but it seems painful to do that without any real gain, except for possibly not having libudev in the address space and not having code #ifdefed for Linux. The latter means that we are a bit more likely to break stuff for non-Linux systems now if we play with udev, but at least we don't end up with it silently breaking because of a libudev ABI break. The existing function pointers in the struct were renamed and kept for compat purposes. Fixes Debian/apt#48 Also adjust prepare-release to strip [linux-any] from build-depends for travis.
2017-09-09cdrom: Don't hardcode "Files" field for copying source filesJulian Andres Klode
This fails if no Files field exists anymore, for example, because the Sources index only contains SHA256 hashes. Instead check all hashes.
2017-09-09Do not warn about duplicate "legacy" targetsJulian Andres Klode
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". LP: #1697120 Closes: #839259
2017-09-09drop unused/unimplemented & hidden LoadReleaseInfoDavid Kalnischkies
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. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-09-09don't ask an uninit _system for supported archsDavid Kalnischkies
A libapt user who hasn't initialized _system likely has a reason, so we shouldn't greet back with a segfault usually deep down in the callstack for no reason. If the user had intended to pick up information from the system, _system wouldn't be uninitialized after all. LP: #1613184 SRU: 1.4.y
2017-09-09don't write & chmod /dev/null log filesDavid Kalnischkies
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.
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.
2017-08-24Redefine APT_CONST to mean APT_PUREJulian Andres Klode
Functions marked with the const attribute may not inspect any global memory. This includes targets of pointers or references passed as arguments. A pure function however is free to inspect memory, but may not have any side effects. The function StringSplit() was marked as const, but took two references to strings. When the second one was passed as a literal as in StringSplit(name, "::") the compiler cleverly figured out that we only inspect the address of "::" (since StringSplit is const) and thus optimized away the "::" content. While patching out individual broken uses of APT_CONST would be possible, this is already the second case, and there might be more, so let's redefine APT_CONST to use the pure attribute, so we don't end up with the same situation again in some time.
2017-08-04don't hang if multiple sources use unavailable methodDavid Kalnischkies
APT clients always noticed if a method isn't supported and nowadays generate a message of the form: E: The method driver …/foobar could not be found. N: Is the package apt-transport-foobar installed? This only worked if a single source was using such an unavailable method through as we were registering the failed config the first round and the second would try to send requests to the not started method, which wouldn't work and hang instead (+ hiding the error messages as they would be shown only at the end of the execution). Closes: 870675
2017-08-04don't keep configuration files open needlesslyDavid Kalnischkies
Regression-Of: 3317ad864c997f4897756c0a2989c4199e9cda62
2017-07-26allow the auth.conf to be root:root ownedDavid Kalnischkies
Opening the file before we drop privileges in the methods allows us to avoid chowning in the acquire main process which can apply to the wrong file (imagine Binary scoped settings) and surprises users as their permission setup is overridden. There are no security benefits as the file is open, so an evil method could as before read the contents of the file, but it isn't worse than before and we avoid permission problems in this setup.
2017-07-26reimplement and document auth.confDavid Kalnischkies
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing 518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer exists making the feature even more arcane. On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style) and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first. We now do a single pass over the stanzas. In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to document and more usual for an apt user. Closes: #811181
2017-07-26show warnings instead of errors if files are unreadableDavid Kalnischkies
We used to fail on unreadable config/preferences/sources files, but at least for sources we didn't in the past and it seems harsh to refuse to work because of a single file, especially as the error messages are inconsistent and end up being silly (like suggesting to run apt update to fix the problem…). LP: #1701852
2017-07-26use FileFd to parse all apt configuration filesDavid Kalnischkies
Using different ways of opening files means we have different behaviour and error messages for them, so by the same for all we can have more uniformity for users and apt developers alike.
2017-07-26send weak-only hashes to methodsDavid Kalnischkies
Weak hashes like filesize can be used by methods for basic checks and early refusals even if we can't use them for hard security proposes. Normal apt operations are not affected by this as they fail if no strong hash is available, but if apt is forced to work with weak-only files or e.g. in apt-helper context it can have benefits as weak is better than no hash for the methods.
2017-07-26don't move failed pdiff indexes out of partialDavid Kalnischkies
The comment says this is intended, but looking at the history reveals that the comment comes from a different era. Nowadays we don't really need it anymore (and even back then it was disputeable) as we haven't used that file for our update in the end and nothing really needs this file after the update. Triggered is this by 188f297a2af4c15cb1d502360d1e478644b5b810 which moves various error conditions forward including this code expecting the file to exist – but it doesn't need to as download could have failed. We could fix that by simple checking if the file exists and only stage it if it does, but instead we don't stage it and instead even rename it out of the way with our conventional FAILED name (if it exists). That restores support for partial mirrors (= in this case mirrors which don't ship pdiff files). Note that apt heals itself even if only such a mirror is used as the update is successful even if that error is shown. Closes: 869425
2017-07-26don't try to rename failed pdiff patches twiceDavid Kalnischkies
RenameOnError does the rename already, so the check for existence will always fail making this some completely harmles but also completely pointless two lines of code we are better of removing. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
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.
2017-07-20Fix memory leak in C++-thread-local _error implementationJulian Andres Klode
We can't allocate a pointer here, it would not get released - use an object instead. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2017-07-20Use C++11 threading support instead of pthreadJulian Andres Klode
This makes the code easier to read.
2017-07-17Merge pull request Debian/apt#44 from willismonroe/patch-1Julian Andres Klode
Minor grammar fix [jak@d.o: Fixed up po/]
2017-07-12cacheiterators: Warn about direct include and don't include pkgcache.hJulian Andres Klode
This adds a warning so existing working code will still work (as it includes pkgcache.h first anyway), but it will know that it's not right to include this file directly.
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.
2017-07-12Handle supported components with slashes in sources.listApollon Oikonomopoulos
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
2017-07-08fix various typos reported by codespell & spellintianDavid Kalnischkies
Reported-By: codespell & spellintian Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2017-07-07don't expect more downloads from failed transactionsDavid Kalnischkies
Progress only shows if we have an idea of how much files we will acquire, but if a transaction fails before we have got an idea we ended up never showing progress even through we know that a failed transaction will not download additional files.
2017-06-30Allow http(s) and socks5h for http and https in proxy auto detectJulian Andres Klode
This makes it possible to write sensible auto detect scripts.
2017-06-28Strip 0: epochs from the version hashJulian Andres Klode
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.
2017-06-28allow frontends to override releaseinfo change behaviourDavid Kalnischkies
Having messages being printed on the error stack and confirm them by commandline flags is an okayish first step, but some frontends will probably want to have a more interactive feeling here with a proper question the user can just press yes/no for as for some frontends a commandline flag makes no sense…
2017-06-28show a Release-Notes URI if infos were changedDavid Kalnischkies
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).
2017-06-28error in update on Release information changesDavid Kalnischkies
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.
