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.
2016-08-10Merge branch 'cmake'Julian Andres Klode
2016-08-10Get rid of the old buildsystemJulian Andres Klode
Bye, bye, old friend.
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
2016-08-06CMake: Add basic CMake build systemJulian Andres Klode
Introduce an initial CMake buildsystem. This build system can build a fully working apt system without translation or documentation. The FindBerkelyDB module is from kdelibs, with some small adjustements to also look in db5 directories. Initial work on this CMake build system started in 2009, and was resumed in August 2016.
2016-08-03ExecGPGV: Pass current config state to apt-key via temp fileJulian Andres Klode
Create a temporary configuration file with a dump of our configuration and pass that to apt-key. LP: #1607283
2016-08-03ExecGPGV: Fork in all casesJulian Andres Klode
2016-08-03ExecGPGV: Rework file removal on exit()Julian Andres Klode
Create a local exiter object which cleans up files on exit.
2016-08-03gpgv: Unlink the correct temp file in error caseJulian Andres Klode
Previously, when data could be created and sig not, we would unlink sig, not data (and vice versa).
2016-07-30prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (try 2)David Kalnischkies
Followup of b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25. Still a regression of sorts of 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf. Closes: 832044
2016-07-29edsp: try to read responses even if writing failedDavid Kalnischkies
If a solver/planner exits before apt is done writing we will generate write errors. Solvers like 'dump' can be pretty quick in failing but produce a valid EDSP error report apt should read, parse and display instead of just discarding even through we had write errors.
2016-07-29if the FileFd failed already following calls should fail, tooDavid Kalnischkies
There is no point in trying to perform Write/Read on a FileFd which already failed as they aren't going to work as expected, so we should make sure that they fail early on and hard.

2016-07-27eipp: avoid producing file warnings in simulationDavid Kalnischkies
Simulations are frequently run by unprivileged users which naturally don't have the permissions to write to the default location for the eipp file. Either way is bad as running in simulation mode doesn't mean we don't want to run the logging (as EIPP runs the same regardless of simulation or 'real' run), but showing the warnings is relatively pointless in the default setup, so, in case we would produce errors and perform a simulation we will discard the warnings and carry on. Running apt with an external planner wouldn't have generated these messages btw. Closes: 832614
2016-07-27rred: truncate result file before writing to itDavid Kalnischkies
If another file in the transaction fails and hence dooms the transaction we can end in a situation in which a -patched file (= rred writes the result of the patching to it) remains in the partial/ directory. The next apt call will perform the rred patching again and write its result again to the -patched file, but instead of starting with an empty file as intended it will override the content previously in the file which has the same result if the new content happens to be longer than the old content, but if it isn't parts of the old content remain in the file which will pass verification as the new content written to it matches the hashes and if the entire transaction passes the file will be moved the lists/ directory where it might or might not trigger errors depending on if the old content which remained forms a valid file together with the new content. This has no real security implications as no untrusted data is involved: The old content consists of a base file which passed verification and a bunch of patches which all passed multiple verifications as well, so the old content isn't controllable by an attacker and the new one isn't either (as the new content alone passes verification). So the best an attacker can do is letting the user run into the same issue as in the report. Closes: #831762
2016-07-26verify hash of input file in rredDavid Kalnischkies
We read the entire input file we want to patch anyhow, so we can also calculate the hash for that file and compare it with what he had expected it to be. Note that this isn't really a security improvement as a) the file we patch is trusted & b) if the input is incorrect, the result will hardly be matching, so this is just for failing slightly earlier with a more relevant error message (althrough, in terms of rred its ignored and complete download attempt instead).
2016-07-23call flush on the wrapped writebuffered FileFdDavid Kalnischkies
The flush call is a no-op in most FileFd implementations so this isn't as critical as it might sound as the only non-trivial implementation is in the buffered writer, which tends not be used to buffer another buffer…
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 dpkg debug mode in APT::StateChangesDavid Kalnischkies
Gbp-Dch: Ignore
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.
2016-07-22support "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.

2016-07-19refactor plus/minus sources.list option handlingDavid Kalnischkies
Moving code around into some more dedicated methods, no effective code change itself. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
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.
2016-07-19ensure Cnf::FindFile doesn't return files below /dev/nullDavid Kalnischkies
Very unlikely, but if the parent is /dev/null, the child empty and the grandchild a value we returned /dev/null/value which doesn't exist, so hardly a problem, but for best operability we should be consistent in our work and return /dev/null always.
2016-07-08add Testsuite-Triggers to tagfile-orderDavid Kalnischkies
Added in dpkg in commit 90324cfa942ba23d5d44b28b1087fbd510340502.
2016-07-06report all instead of first error up the acquire chainDavid Kalnischkies
If we don't give a specific error to report up it is likely that all error currently in the error stack are equally important, so reporting just one could turn out to be confusing e.g. if name resolution failed in a SRV record list.
2016-07-06don't change owner/perms/times through file:// symlinksDavid Kalnischkies
If we have files in partial/ from a previous invocation or similar such those could be symlinks created by file:// sources. The code is expecting only real files through and happily changes owner, modification times and permission on the file the symlink points to which tend to be files we have no business in touching in this way. Permissions of symlinks shouldn't be changed, changing owner is usually pointless to, but just to be sure we pick the easy way out and use lchown, check for symlinks before chmod/utimes.

2016-07-05EIPP/EDSP log can't be written is a warning, not an errorDavid Kalnischkies
If other logs can't be written this is a warning to, so for consistency sake translate the errors to warnings.
2016-07-05report write errors in EDSP/EIPP properly back to callerDavid Kalnischkies
Unlikely to happen in practice and I wonder more how I could miss these in earlier reviews, but okay, lets fix it for consistency now.
2016-07-05give a descriptive error for pipe tries with 'false'David Kalnischkies
If libapt has builtin support for a compression type it will create a dummy compressor struct with the Binary set to 'false' as it will catch these before using the generic pipe implementation which uses the Binary. The catching happens based on configured Names through, so you can actually force apt to use the external binaries even if it would usually use the builtin support. That logic fails through if you don't happen to have these external binaries installed as it will fallback to calling 'false', which will end in confusing 'Write error's. So, this is again something you only encounter in constructed testing. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-07-05don't add default compressors two times if disabledDavid Kalnischkies
This is in so far pointless as the first match will deal with the extension, so we don't actually ever use these second instances – probably for the better as most need arguments to behave as epected & more importantly: the point of the exercise disabling their use for testing proposes. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-07-02use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in outputDavid Kalnischkies
All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently" accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression in other clients (which encounter repositories created with apt-ftparchive). In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0 can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone. The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the 'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in method input.
2016-07-01do not treat same-version local debs as downgradeDavid Kalnischkies
As the volatile sources are parsed last they were sorted behind the dpkg/status file and hence are treated as a downgrade, which isn't really what you want to happen as from a user POV its an upgrade.
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.
2016-07-01protect 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
