We end our operation by calling "dpkg --configure -a", so instead of
running a (big) configure run with all packages mentioned explicitly
before this, we simply skip them and let them be handled by this call
implicitly.
There isn't really an observeable gain to be had here from a speed
point, but it helps in avoiding an (uncommon) problem of having a too
long commandline passed to dpkg, which we would split up (probably
incorrectly).

Most (if not all) solvers should be able to run perfectly fine without
root privileges as they get the entire state they are supposed to work
on via stdin and do not perform any action directly, but just pass
suggestions on via stdout.
The new default is to run them all as _apt hence, but each solver can
configure another user if it chooses/must. The security benefits are
minimal at best, but it helps preventing silly mistakes (see
35f3ed061f10a25a3fb28bc988fddbb976344c4d) and that is always good.
Note that our 'apt' and 'dump' solver already dropped privileges if they
had them.

Create and log the EDSP(like) request even if we use the internal
resolver.
|
|
It wasn't noticeable before, but now with the (optional) logging it can
be observed that we decide in the internal path two times if an internal
or external solver should be used (and hence with logging, it is
attempted twice), so if we are in the internal path call the internal
resolver directly, which means those internal methods need to be public
– but we can hide them based on the symbol at least.

For bugreports and co it could be handy to have the scenario and all the
settings used in it around later for inspection for EDSP like protocols.
EDSP might not be the most interesting as the user can still interrupt
the process before the solution is applied and users tend to have an
opinion on the "rightness" of a solution, so it is disabled by default.
|
|
EDSP(-like) protocols are one-shot processes working on data which
exists only as long as they run (as they get feed via a pipe), so trying
to write a cache for it is pretty pointless, especially as it will
usually fail as the cache files tend to be owned by root, but the
process is run as a unpriviledged user (either _apt if called by root,
otherwise the user of the caller).
So this was in fact only observeable with our testcases which run as
non-root and the worst which happens is that a valid cache is overridden
with an invalid one which the next run will detect and not use.

With have better ways to compare, manipulate and work with strings, so
use it instead of counting string length by hand with is a wonder it
hasn't failed yet. Ignoreable from a changelog perspective as there is
no behaviour change.

The classes are all marked as hidden, so changing them is no problem ABI
wise and will help with introducing protocols similar to EDSP.
The change has no observeable behavior difference, its just code
juggling.

EDSP had a WriteSolution method to write out the entire solution based
on the inspection of a given pkgDepCache, but that is rather inflexible
both for EDSP itself and for other EDSP like-protocols. It seems better
to use a smaller scope in printing just a single stanza based on a given
version as there is more reuse potential.
|
|
Currently an EDSP solver gets send basically all versions which means
the absolute count is the same, but that might not be true forever (and
with the skipping of rc-only versions it kinda is already) and even if
it were true, segfaulting on bad input seems wrong.

HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the
internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation
internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the
Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields.
Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no
effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of
fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to
work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not
only want to encounter UTC here as well.
As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in
libapt.
Closes: 819697

Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which
would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by
setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which
for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text
interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the
numbers to be formatted.

libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via
configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396,
but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which
also explains why the tests weren't using it…

No real code change, just moving code around heavily to decouple the

The &= introduced in the EDSP-FileFd conversion isn't working to full
satisfaction for multiple && clauses as the && has a higher binding than
&= has, so that the methods were called even through they shouldn't
have because of previous errors. Using variadic functions we can solve
this in a slightly cleaner way bringing down the amount of 'broken pipe'
errors for the error case of the dump resolver substantially.

I doubt there is any non-src:apt usage of these interfaces.

The report mentions "apt list --upgradable", but there are others which
have inconsistent behavior ranging from segfaulting to doing something
with the partial (and hence incomplete) data. We had a recent report
about sources.list (#818628), this one mentions prefences, the obvious
next step is conf files… so the testcase is adapted to check for all
three in file and directory versions and run a bunch of commands each
time which should all have more or less the same behavior in such a case
(aka error out).

This fixes comparisons where either the stored or the input string
have a trailing comma.

This hopefully makes debugging things easier.

Unexpected are for examples removal requests for versions which aren't
installed, installations of already installed versions & requests to
install and remove a package at the same time.
|
|
The spec was slightly inconsistent if the preferences setting is
available only as generic or specific setting & the code only supported
the specific one, while for the strict-pinning was only generic…
As the usual pattern for apt is to have both options we adapt the spec
and code to support both as well.
This also adds a purely informal "Solver" field so in case the request
is saved in a file, we know to which solver the sent preferences apply.
Closes: 823918

Failures can happen and APT regardless will do a partial cache
update anyway. Because APT ensures that the list directory is
in a sane state, it makes sense to also call success hooks if
success was only partial - otherwise it loses sync with APT.
Most importantly, this causes the appstream cache to be empty,
see launchpad bug #1562733.
This is somewhat overly optimistic though: As soon as any repository
has nonexisting optional files, the missing optional files are also
treated as success, which means a single broken repository without an
InRelease file still runs Success hooks, even though it really should
not.

This prevented some sources.list entries from working, an example
of which can be found in the test.

Improve GetLocalitySortedVersionSet, speeds up apt search by 30%

Versions which are only available in dpkg/status aren't installable and
apt doesn't pick them as candidate for this reason – for the same reason
such packages shouldn't be sent to an external solver via EDSP. The
packages are pinned to -1, but if the solver has strict pinning disabled
it could end up picking this version anyhow – which is a request apt can
not satisfy.

A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files
and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations
for those files through it would need to select both and a user would
need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration.
The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same
value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can
be used to give two indexes the same identifier.
|

Sometimes index files are in different locations in a repository as it
is currently the case for Contents files which are per-component in
Debian, but aren't in Ubuntu. This has historic reasons and is perhaps
changed soon, but such cases of transitions can always happen in the
future again, so we should prepare:
Introduced is a new field declaring that the current item should only be
downloaded if the mentioned item wasn't allowing for transitions without
a flagday in clients and archives.
This isn't implemented 'simpler' with multiple MetaKeys as items (could)
change their descriptions and perhaps also other configuration bits with
their location.
|
|
It looks a bit strange on the outside to have multiple "native
architecture", but all is considered an implementation detail and e.g.
packages of arch:all are in dependency resolution equal to native
packages.
|
|
We don't have to initialize the Release files with a set of IndexTargets
to acquire, but instead wait for the Release file to be acquired and
only then ask which IndexTargets to get.

Progress reporting used an "upper bound" on files we might get, expect
that this wasn't correct in case pdiff entered the picture. So instead
of calculating a value which is perhaps incorrect, we just accept that
we can't tell how many files we are going to download and just keep at
0% until we know. Additionally, if we have pdiffs we wait until we got
these (sub)index files, too.
That could all be done better by downloading all Release files first and
planing with them in hand accordingly, but one step at a time.

The code naturally evolved from a TransactionManager optional to a

Commit 9b8034a9fd40b4d05075fda719e61f6eb4c45678 just deals with
InRelease properly and generates broken URIs in case the mirror (or the

Broken in a4b8112b19763cbd2c12b81d55bc7d43a591d610.
If an item has a description which includes no space and is redirected
to another mirror the code which wants to rewrite the description
expects a space in there, but can't find it and the unguarded substr
command on the string will fail with an exception thrown…
Guarding it properly and everything is fine.

dpkg can optionally colorize its output since 1.18.5. Currently this
defaults to 'never', but it will eventually be 'auto'. It seems
reasonable to assume that a user who has enabled/disabled colors in apt
will want to have dpkg have the same state regarding color usage.
This isn't overriding explicit settings by the user, so in case a user
feels strongly about it one way or the other there are options.

The actual reason for this commit isn't the limit – there isn't much
point in using that much nesting – its in shutting up gcc mostly:
apt/apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc: In function ‘bool ReadConfigFile(Configuration&, const string&, const bool&, const unsigned int&)’:
apt/apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc:686:20: warning: cannot optimize loop, the loop counter may overflow [-Wunsafe-loop-optimizations]

by replacing this with C++s handy std::stack container (adapter).
Also cleans some whitespace noise from the file in the process.

Users have the option since apt >= 1.1 to enforce that a Release file is
signed with specific key(s) either via keyring filename or fingerprints.
This commit adds an entry with the same name and value (except that it
doesn't accept filenames for obvious reasons) to the Release file so
that the repository owner can set a default value for this setting
effecting the *next* Release file, not the current one, which provides a
functionality similar "HTTP Public Key Pinning". The pinning is in
effect as long as the (then old) Release file is considered valid, but
it is also ignored if the Release file has no Valid-Until at all.
|
|
A keyring file can include multiple keys, so its only fair for
transitions and such to support multiple fingerprints as well.

Daniel Kahn Gillmor highlights in the bugreport that security isn't
improving by having the user import additional keys – especially as
importing keys securely is hard.
The bugreport was initially about dropping the warning to a notice, but
in given the previously mentioned observation and the fact that we
weren't printing a warning (or a notice) for expired or revoked keys
providing a signature we drop it completely as the code to display a
message if this was the only key is in another path – and is considered
critical.

This basically introduces ~33 flags in the output, but a package can
have only ~11 of them displayed at the same time. There is quiet a bit
of duplication also (an uninstalled package is by definition a
newinstall if its getting installed), but as this is debug output we are
better of showing them all in case one of them isn't set in a way it is
supposed to be set.

Redesign of multivalue options in 463c8d801595ce5ac94d7c032264820be7434232
caused the parser to look for <multivalue>{Add,Remove} (no hyphen)
instead of the expected <multivalue>-{Add,Remove}.

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.
|
|
This method does not return the 'current' candidate of the DepCache
which would be most expected, but instead returns the version which
would be candidate in a default-only policy setting – aka ignoring
apt_preferences settings and co.
|
|
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.

If the file is in a failed state there is no point in trying to flush
out the buffers as the file is to be discarded anyhow & its likely all
this flushing is producing is additional error messages.
