2016-11-11add hidden config to set packages as Essential/ImportantDavid Kalnischkies
You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really hurt much. We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them, similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s). Closes: 767891 Thanks: Anthony Towns for initial patch
2016-11-11add TMP/TEMP/TEMPDIR to the TMPDIR DropPrivileges danceDavid Kalnischkies
apt tools do not really support these other variables, but tools apt calls might, so lets play save and clean those up as needed. Reported-By: Paul Wise (pabs) on IRC

2016-11-09rename Checksum-FileSize to Filesize in hashsum mismatchDavid Kalnischkies
Some people do not recognize the field value with such an arcane name and/or expect it to refer to something different (e.g. #839257). We can't just rename it internally as its an avoidance strategy as such fieldname existed previously with less clear semantics, but we can spare the general public from this implementation detail.
2016-11-09show the conflicting distribution warning againDavid Kalnischkies
Sometimes you should really act upon your todos. Especially if you have placed them directly in the code. Closes: 841874
2016-11-09reset HOME, USER(NAME), TMPDIR & SHELL in DropPrivilegesDavid Kalnischkies
We can't cleanup the environment like e.g. sudo would do as you usually want the environment to "leak" into these helpers, but some variables like HOME should really not have still the value of the root user – it could confuse the helpers (USER) and HOME isn't accessible anyhow. Closes: 842877
2016-11-09fix three typos in sources & manpagesChris Leick
2016-11-09add support for Build-Depends/Conflicts-ArchJohannes Schauer
These new enum values might cause "interesting" behaviour in tools not expecting them – like an old apt would think a Build-Conflicts-Arch is some sort of Build-Depends – but that can't reasonably be avoided and effects only packages using B-D/C-A so if there is any breakage the tools can easily be adapted. The APT_PKG_RELEASE number is increased so that libapt users can detect the availability of these new enum fields via: #if APT_PKG_ABI > 500 || (APT_PKG_ABI == 500 && APT_PKG_RELEASE >= 1) Closes: #837395
2016-11-02keep Release.gpg on untrusted to trusted IMS-HitDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 838779
2016-10-04Do not read stderr from proxy autodetection scriptsJulian Andres Klode
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing which accidentally made the proxy autodetection code also read the scripts output on stderr, not only on stdout when it switched the code from popen() to Popen(). Reported-By: Tim Small <tim@seoss.co.uk>
2016-09-18VersionHash: Do not skip too long dependency linesJulian Andres Klode
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 characters, it would be skipped, causing the hashes to be out of date. Note that we have to bump the minor cache version again as this changes the format slightly, and we might get mismatches with an older src cache otherwise. Fixes Debian/apt#23
2016-09-11Coverage: Do not print messages from gcovJulian Andres Klode
We need to ignore messages from gcov. All those messages start with profiling: and are printed using vfprintf(), so the only thing we can do is add a library overriding those functions and linking apt-pkg to it.
2016-09-07edsp: try 2 to read responses even if writing failedDavid Kalnischkies
Commit b60c8a89c281f2bb945d426d2215cbf8f5760738 improved the situation, but due to inconsistency mostly for planners, not for solvers. As the idea of hiding errors if we show another error is a bit scary (as the extern error might be a followup of our intern error, rather than the reason for our intern error as it is at the moment) we don't discard the errors, but if we got an extern error we show them directly removing them from the error list at the end of the run – that list will contain the extern error which hopefully gives us the best of both worlds. The problem itself is the same as before: The externals exiting before apt is done talking to them. Reported-By: Johannes 'josch' Schauer on IRC
2016-09-02acquire: Use priority queues and a 3 stage pipeline designJulian Andres Klode
Employ a priority queue instead of a normal queue to hold the items; and only add items to the running pipeline if their priority is the same or higher than the priority of items in the queue. The priorities are designed for a 3 stage pipeline system: In stage 1, all Release files and .diff/Index files are fetched. This allows us to determine what files remain to be fetched, and thus ensures a usable progress reporting. In stage 2, all Pdiff patches are fetched, so we can apply them in parallel with fetching other files in stage 3. In stage 3, all other files are fetched (complete index files such as Contents, Packages). Performance improvements, mainly from fetching the pdiff patches before complete files, so they can be applied in parallel: For the 01 Sep 2016 03:35:23 UTC -> 02 Sep 2016 09:25:37 update of Debian unstable and testing with Contents and appstream for amd64 and i386, update time reduced from 37 seconds to 24-28 seconds. Previously, apt would first download new DEP11 icon tarballs and metadata files, causing the CPU to be idle. By fetching the diffs in stage 2, we can now patch our contents and Packages files while we are downloading the DEP11 stuff.
2016-09-02CMake: apt-pkg: Use correct ICONV_INCLUDE_DIRS variableJulian Andres Klode
This accidentally used ICONV_DIRECTORIES, which does not even exist. Weird.
2016-09-01try not to call memcpy with length 0 in hash calculationsDavid Kalnischkies
memcpy is marked as nonnull for its input, but ignores the input anyhow if the declared length is zero. Our SHA2 implementations do this as well, it was "just" MD5 and SHA1 missing, so we add the length check here as well as along the callstack as it is really pointless to do all these method calls for "nothing". Reported-By: gcc -fsanitize=undefined
2016-08-31Base256ToNum: Fix uninitialized valueJulian Andres Klode
If the inner Base256ToNum() returned false, it did not set Num to a new value, causing it to be uninitialized, and thus might have caused the function to exit despite a good result. Also document why the Res = Num, if (Res != Num) magic is done. Reported-By: valgrind
2016-08-31TagFile: Fix off-by-one errors in comment strippingJulian Andres Klode
Adding 1 to the value of d->End - current makes restLength one byte too long: If we pass memchr(current, ..., restLength) has thus undefined behavior. Also, reading the value of current has undefined behavior if 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. Reported-By: valgrind
2016-08-31Fix segfault and out-of-bounds read in Binary fieldsJulian Andres Klode
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

2016-08-29don't loop on pinning pkgs from absolute debs by regexDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 835818
2016-08-29randomize acquire order for same type index filesDavid Kalnischkies
Without randomizing the order in which we download the index files we leak needlessly information to the mirrors of which architecture is native or foreign on this system. More importantly, we leak the order in which description translations will be used which in most cases will e.g. have the native tongue first. Note that the leak effect in practice is limited as apt detects if a file it wants to download is already available in the latest version from a previous download and does not query the server in such cases. Combined with the fact that Translation files are usually updated infrequently and not all at the same time, so a mirror can never be sure if it got asked about all files the user wants.

2016-08-26CMake: Add missing iconv dependencyJulian Andres Klode
FreeBSD has two iconv systems: It ships an iconv.h itself, and symbols for that in the libc. But there's also the port of GNU libiconv, which unfortunately for us, Doxygen depends on. This changes things to prefer a separate libiconv library over the system one; that is, the port on FreeBSD. Gbp-Dch: ignore

2016-08-26changelog: Respect Dir setting for local changelog gettingJulian Andres Klode
This fixes issues with chroots, but the goal here was to get the test suite working on systems without dpkg.
2016-08-26Make directory paths configurableJulian Andres Klode
This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need to strip of the initial /.
2016-08-26Use C locale instead of C.UTF-8 for protocol stringsJulian Andres Klode
The C.UTF-8 locale is not portable, so we need to use C, otherwise we crash on other systems. We can use std::locale::classic() for that, which might also be a bit cheaper than using locale("C").

2016-08-26Add missing includes and external definitionsJulian Andres Klode
Several modules use std::array without including the array header. Bad modules. Some modules use STDOUT_FILENO and friends, or close() without including unistd.h, where they are defined. One module also uses WIFEXITED() without including sys/wait.h. Finally, environ is not specified to be defined in unistd.h. We are required to define it ourselves according to POSIX, so let's do that.
2016-08-25treat .ddeb files like .deb, especially for dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
Ubuntu uses *.ddeb files for their debug packages, but the interface we are using since f495992428a396e0f98886c9a761a804aa161c68 to talk to dpkg isn't supporting *.ddeb files. This used to work previously as apt itself isn't caring about the filenames at all and if they are explicitly mentioned dpkg will accept all, too. It might or might not be a good idea to patch dpkg, too, but regardless of it happening, we don't want to couple us to closely to dpkg for this minor feature but testing for this at runtime as it would delay shipping the fix for the too long commandlines further. It is also questionable if it is really a good idea to allow any file extension to be used here (like .foobar in the testcase), but we used to and we tend to avoid breaking existing usecases if we can help it. As a bonus, this also allows the installation of ddeb files directly from the commandline as you can with deb files already. We continue to ignore udeb through as the user-mistake to useful ratio is too high. LP: #1616909
2016-08-24do not restore selections for already purged packagesDavid Kalnischkies
In most cases apt was already skipping the (re)setting of packages as to be removed/purged if dpkg had told us that it already did, but we haven't dealt with it in the most obvious of the cases: Selections set for packages we touched in this operation which either restores selections even dpkg would have overridden or e.g. tries to restore a purge selection for a package which was just purged – does not happen with apt itself as it isn't using selections in this way, but higher frontends like aptitude do. The result in the later case is a warning printed by dpkg that we try to set selections for an unknown package, which is harmless per se, but can be confusing for users and we really shouldn't cause warnings in dpkg if we can help it.

2016-08-24do fail on weakhash/loop earlier in acquireDavid Kalnischkies
The bugreport shows a segfault caused by the code not doing the correct magical dance to remove an item from inside a queue in all cases. We could try hard to fix this, but it is actually better and also easier to perform these checks (which cause instant failure) earlier so that they haven't entered queue(s) yet, which in return makes cleanup trivial. The result is that we actually end up failing "too early" as if we wouldn't be careful download errors would be logged before that process was even started. Not a problem for the acquire system, but likely to confuse users and programs alike if they see the download process producing errors before apt was technically allowed to do an acquire (it didn't, so no violation, but it looks like it to the untrained eye).

Regression of b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25 in so far as it exchanging very effected with slightly less effected code. LP: 1611010
2016-08-23do dpkg --configure before --remove/--purge --pendingDavid Kalnischkies
Commit 7ec343309b7bc6001b465c870609b3c570026149 got us most of the way, but the last mile was botched by having the pending calls in the wrong order as this way we potentially 'force' dpkg to remove/purge a package it doesn't want to as another package still depends on it and the replacement isn't fully installed yet. So what we do now is a configure before remove and purge (all with --no-triggers) and finishing off with another configure pending call to take care of the triggers. Note that in the bugreport example our current planner is forcing dpkg to remove the package earlier via --force-depends which we could do for the pending calls as well and could be used as a workaround, but we want to do less forcing eventually.

2016-08-19Ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT for Pre-Install hooksJulian Andres Klode
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

2016-08-17add --with-source option and Packages/Sources supportDavid Kalnischkies
We support "./foobar.deb" as a way to install a deb file directly. Recently .changes files were added. This highlights a problem as you can't add the changes file without also trying to install all of them. Now, it could also be handy to add entire Packages/Sources files to perhaps get a bunch of packages in without installing them all implicitly. This commit introduces --with-source which allows to add *.deb, *.changes, *.dsc, source-dirs, Packages & Sources files (the later can also be compressed) without also installing them.
2016-08-17default to Dir=/ in dpkg/status file finding magicDavid Kalnischkies
Seen in cme #833656 if Dir isn't set (yet) we end up later absoluting a path which was supposed to be absolute already, so if Dir is empty we assume it to be '/' instead. In practice this is a bug in the software using libapt, but for maxium compatibility lets explicitly set the default value here to be safe.

In af81ab9030229b4ce6cbe28f0f0831d4896fda01 by-hash got implemented as a special compression type for our usual index files like Packages. Missing in this scheme was the special .diff/Index index file containing the info about individual patches for this index file. Deriving from the index file class directly we inherent the compression handling infrastructure and in this way also by-hash nearly for free. Closes: #824926
2016-08-17support getting only-uncompressed files via by-hashDavid Kalnischkies
The URI we later want to modify to get the file via by-hash was unset in case a file was only available uncompressed (which is usually not the case) causing an acquire error.

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. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-08-17retry without same redirection mirror on 404 errorsDavid Kalnischkies
If 9b8034a9fd40b4d05075fda719e61f6eb4c45678 serves the Release files from a partial mirror we will end up getting 404 for some of the indexes. Instead of giving up, we will instead ignore our same redirection mirror constrain and ask the redirection service as a potential hashsum mismatch is better than keeping the certain 404 error.
2016-08-17check internal redirections for loops, tooDavid Kalnischkies
Now that we have the redirections loopchecker centrally in our items we can use it also to prevent internal redirections to loop caused by bugs as in a few instances we get into the business of rewriting the URI we will query by ourself as we predict we would see such a redirect anyway. Our code has no bugs of course, hence no practical difference. ;) Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2016-08-16log with the failed item description, not with next tryDavid Kalnischkies
The failure handling frequently changes URI & Description of the failed item to try a slightly different combination which might work, but the logging of the failure happens only afterwards as the same failure handling decides if this is a critical error or not so we need a backup here instead of potentially new content. A purely cosmetic issue, but can still be confusing for humans.
