This new field allows a repository to declare that access to
packages requires authorization. The current implementation will
set the pin to -32768 if no authorization has been provided in
the auth.conf(.d) files.
This implementation is suboptimal in two aspects:
(1) A repository should behave more like NotSource repositories
(2) We only have the host name for the repository, we cannot use
paths yet.
- We can fix those after an ABI break.
The code also adds a check to acquire-item.cc to not use the
specified repository as a download source, mimicking NotSource.

This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d
files, for example; very useful.
The chmod() stuff we inherited from auth.conf handling is awful, but
what can we do? It's not needed anymore in later versions, as they open
files before dropping privileges, but ugh, not backporting that.

This allows disabling a repository by pinning it to 'never',
which is internally translated to a value of -32768 (or whatever
the minimum of short is).
This overrides any other pin for that repository. It can be used
to make sure certain sources are never used; for example, in
unattended-upgrades.
To prevent semantic changes to existing files, we substitute
min + 1 for every pin-priority: <min>. This is a temporary
solution, as we are waiting for an ABI break.
To add pins with that value, the special Pin-Priority
"never" may be used for now. It's unclear if that will
persist, or if the interface will change eventually.

This fixes a security issue that can be exploited to inject arbritrary debs
or other files into a signed repository as followed:
(1) Server sends a redirect to somewhere%0a<headers for the apt method> (where %0a is
\n encoded)
(2) apt method decodes the redirect (because the method encodes the URLs before
sending them out), writting something like
somewhere\n
<headers>
into its output
(3) apt then uses the headers injected for validation purposes.

Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because
the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for
all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs,
but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time.

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.

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.

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).

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 intended usecase where this serves as a hack there is no problem
with double/single quotes being present as we write it to a log file
only, but nowadays our calling of apt-key produces a temporary config
file containing this "setting" as well and suddently quoting is
important as the config file syntax is allergic to it.
So the fix is to ignore all quoting whatsoever in the input and just
quote (with singles) the option values with spaces. That gives us 99% of
the time the correct result and the 1% where the quote is an integral
element of the option … doesn't exist – or has bigger problems than a
log file not containing the quote. Same goes for newlines in values.

-1 is not an allowed value for the file descriptor, the only
allowed non-file-descriptor value is AT_FDCWD. So use that
instead.
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW has a weird semantic: It checks whether
we have the specified access on the symbolic link. It also
is implemented only by glibc on Linux, so it's inherently
non-portable. We should just drop it.

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...).

Since the introduction of by-hash, two differently named
files might have the same real URL. In our case, the files
icons-64x64.tar.gz and icons-128x128.tar.gz of empty tarballs.
APT would try to merge them and end with weird errors because
it completed the first download and enters the second stage for
decompressing and verifying. After that it would queue a new item
to copy the original file to the location, but that copy item would
be in the wrong stage, causing it to use the hashes for the
decompressed item.

If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never
touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove
those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't
keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case)
through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just
to collect dust over time and eat up space.
With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous
runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones
related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files.

Keeping the Fd of the cache file we have validated around to later load
it into the mmap ensures not only that we load the same file (which
wouldn't really be a problem in practice), but that this file also still
exists and wasn't deleted e.g. by a 'apt clean' call run in parallel.

A user relying on the deprecated behaviour of apt-get to accept a source
with an unknown pubkey to install a package containing the key expects
that the following 'apt-get update' causes the source to be considered
as trusted, but in case the source hadn't changed in the meantime this
wasn't happening: The source kept being untrusted until the Release file
was changed.
This only effects sources not using InRelease and only apt-get, the apt
binary downright refuses this course of actions, but it is a common way
of adding external sources.

This is a follow up to the previous issue where we did not check
if getline() returned -1 due to an end of file or due to an error
like memory allocation, treating both as end of file.
Here we ensure that we also handle buffered writes correctly by
flushing the files before checking for any errors in our error
stack.
Buffered writes themselves were introduced in 1.1.9, but the
function was never called with a buffered file from inside
apt until commit 46c4043d741cb2c1d54e7f5bfaa234f1b7580f6c
which was first released with apt 1.2.10. The function is
public, though, so fixing this is a good idea anyway.

This fixes a security issue where signatures of the
InRelease files could be circumvented in a man-in-the-middle
attack, giving attackers the ability to serve any packages
they want to a system, in turn giving them root access.
It turns out that getline() may not only return EINVAL
as stated in the documentation - it might also return
in case of an error when allocating memory.
This fix not only adds a check that reading worked
correctly, it also implicitly checks that all writes
worked by reporting any other error that occurred inside
the loop and was logged by apt.

Rewritten in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 for c++ locales
usage and rewritten again in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19 to
avoid a currently present stdlibc++6 bug in the std::get_time
implementation. The later implementation uses still stringstreams for
parsing, but forgot to explicitly reset the locale to something sane
(for parsing english dates that is), so date and especially the parsing
of a number is depending on the locale. Turns out, the French (among
others) format their numbers with space as thousand separator so for
some reason the stdlibc++6 thinks its a good idea to interpret the
entire datetime string as a single number instead of realizing that in
"25 Jun …" the later parts can't reasonably be part of that number even
through there are spaces there…
Workaround is hence: LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8

As reported upstream in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556
the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as
strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted.
Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be
possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead
I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method
a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite
in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix
of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC.

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.

If the dependency line does not contain spaces in the repository
but does in the dpkg status file (because dpkg normalized the
dependency list), the dpkg line might be longer than the line
in the repository. If it now happens to be longer than 1024

out of date.

current >= d->End, not only for current > d->End:
Consider a string of length 1, that is d->End = d->Current + 1.
We can only read at d->Current + 0, but d->Current + 1 is beyond
the end of the string.
This probably caused several inexplicable build failures on hurd-i386
in the past, and just now caused a build failure on Ubuntu's amd64
builder.

If a Binary field contains one or more spaces before a comma, the
code produced a segmentation fault, as it accidentally set a pointer
to 0 instead of the value of the pointer.
If the comma is at the beginning of the field, the code would
create a binStartNext that points one element before the start
of the string, which is undefined behavior.
We also need to check that we do not exit the string during the
replacement of spaces before commas: A string of the form " ,"
would normally exit the boundary of the Buffer:
binStartNext = offset 1 ','
binEnd = offset 0 ' '
isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true => --binEnd
=> binEnd = - 1
We get rid of the problem by only allowing spaces to be eliminated
if they are not the first character of the buffer:
binStartNext = offset 1 ','
binEnd = offset 0 ' '
binEnd > buffer = false, isspace_ascii(*binEnd) = true
=> exit loop
=> binEnd remains 0

An absolute filename for a *.deb file starts with a /. A package with
the name of the file is inserted in the cache which is provided by the
"real" package for internal reasons. The pinning code detects a regex
based wildcard by having the regex start with /. That is no problem
as a / can not be included in a package name… expect that our virtual
filename package can and does.
We fix this two ways actually: First, a regex is only being considered a
regex if it also ends with / (we don't support flags). That stops our
problem with the virtual filename packages already, but to be sure we
also do not enter the loop if matcher and package name are equal.
It has to be noted that the creation of pins for virtual packages like
the here effected filename packages is pointless as only versions can be
pinned, but checking that a package is really purely virtual is too
costly compared to just creating an unused pin.

Instead of erroring out when receiving a SIGINT, let the
child deal with it - we'll error out anyway if the child
exits with an error or due to the signal. Also ignore
SIGQUIT, as system() ignores it.
This basically fixes Bug #832593, but: we are running
the hooks via sh -c. Some shells exit with a signal
error even if the command they are executing catches
the signal and exits successfully. So far, this has
been noticed on dash, which unfortunately, is our
default shell.
Example:
$ cat trap.sh
trap 'echo int' INT; sleep 10; exit 0
$ if dash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
FAIL: 130
$ if mksh -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
OK: 0
$ if bash -c ./trap.sh; then echo OK: $?; else echo FAIL: $?; fi
^Cint
OK: 0

In af81ab9030229b4ce6cbe28f0f0831d4896fda01 we implement by-hash as a
special compression type, which breaks this filesize setting as the code
is looking for a foobar.by-hash file then. Dealing this slightly gets
us the intended value. Note that this has no direct effect as this value
will be set in other ways, too, and could only effect progress reporting.

Since its existence in 2010 DirectoryExists was always marked with this
attribute, but for no real reason. Arguably a check for the existence of
the file is not modifying global state, so theoretically this shouldn't
be a problem. It is wrong from a logical point of view through as
between two calls the directory could be created so the promise we made
to the compiler that it could remove the second call would be wrong, so
API wise it is wrong.
It's a bit mysterious that this is only observeable on ppc64el and can be
fixed by reordering code ever so slightly, but in the end its more our
fault for adding this attribute than the compilers fault for doing
something silly based on the attribute.

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.
