A long-lasting FIXME in the acquire code points out the problem that we
e.g. for decompressors assign c-string representations of c++-strings to
the Mode variable, which e.g. cppcheck points out as very bad.
In practice, nothing major happens as the c++-strings do not run out of
scope until Mode would do, but that is bad style and fragile, so the
obvious proper fix is to use a c++ string for storage to begin with.
The slight complications stems from the fact that progress reporting
code in frontends potentially uses Mode and compares it with NULL, which
can't be done with std::string, so instead of just changing the type we
introduce a new variable and deprecate the old one.

This used to work before we implemented a stricter commandline parser
and e.g. the dd-schroot-cmd command constructs commandlines like this.

apt-get download and changelog as well as apt-helper reuse the acquire
system for their own proposes without requiring the directories the
fetcher wants to create, which is a problem if you run them as non-root
and the directories do not exist as it greets you with:
E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. -
Acquire (13: Permission denied)

Accessing the package records to acquire this information is pretty
costly, so that information wasn't used so far in many places. The most
noticeable user by far is EDSP at the moment, but there are ideas to
change that which this commit tries to enable.

gnupg/gnupg2 can do verify just fine of course, so we don't need to use
gpgv here, but it is what we always used in the past, so there might be
scripts expecting a certain output and more importantly the output of
apt-cdrom contains messages from gpg and even with all the settings we
activate to prevent it, it still shows (in some versions) a quiet scary:
"gpg: WARNING: Using untrusted key!" message. Keeping the use of gpgv is
the simplest way to prevent it.
We are increasing also the "Breaks: apt" version from libapt as it
requires a newer apt-key than might be installed in partial upgrades.

Some advanced commands can be executed without the keyring being
modified like --verify, so this adds an option to disable the mergeback
and uses it for our gpg calling code.

apt-key does the keyring merge as we need it, so we just call it instead
of reimplementing it to do the merging before gpgv. This means we don't
use gpgv anymore (we never depended on it explicitly - bad style), but
it also means that the message in apt-cdrom add is a bit less friendly
as it says loudly "untrusted key", but for a one-time command its okay.

A lot of code deals with iterating over packages and checking for
specific states. At the moment these are all handcrafted inplace, but
that makes sharing common code which just differs in the states it
checks rather difficult and is error prune. Having an API to construct
arbitrary complex filters will come in handy for those.

The methods itself deal with the helper a lot, so it makes sense to move
them to the helper itself, which helps also if we want to override some
of these methods, the FromString mentioned in the bugreport being the
obvious example.
VCI is spared from this change for now as while it would fit with the
same reasoning it much heavier entangled with the previous
CacheSetHelper change, so moving it now would mean breaking the API.
The PCI change is worthwhile on its own though as it is used by VCI.
Closes: 686221

The introduction of Fnmatch showed that each new selector would require
multiple new virtual methods in the CacheSetHelper to work correctly,
which isn't that great. We now flip to a single virtual method which
handles all cases separated by an enum – as new enum values can be added
without an ABI break.
Great care was taken to make old code work with the new way of organisation,
which means in return that you might be bombarded with deprecation
warnings now if you don't adapt, but code should still compile and work
as before as can be seen in apt itself with this commit.

The comment above their definition marks them already as such, so this
is only a formalisation of the deprecation and fixes the occurances we
have in our own code together with removing a magic number.

Previously, we had a start and a done of the calculation printed by
higher-level code, but this got intermixed by progress reporting from an
external solver or the output of autoremove code…
The higherlevel code is now only responsible for instantiating a
progress object of its choosing (if it wants progress after all) and the
rest will be handled by the upgrade code. Either it is used to show the
progress of the external solver or the internal solver will give some
hints about its overall progress. The later isn't really a proper
progress as it will jump forward after each substep, but that is at
least a bit better than before without any progress indication.
Fixes also the 'strange' non-display of this progress line in -q=1, while
all others are shown, which is reflected by all testcase changes.

Turns out that version numbers aren't as random as you might guess.
In my cache for example, I have:
Total package names: 69513 (1390 k)
Total package structures: 188259 (9036 k)
Total distinct versions: 186345 (13.4 M)
Total dependencies: 2052242 (57.5 M)
which amounts to 1035873 (10,1 M) strings.
Reusing version strings reduces this to 161465 (3.479 k).
This comes at a cost of course: Generation is slightly slower, but we
are still faster than what we started with and it makes room (also cache
size wise) for further changes.

Strings like Section names or architectures are needed vary often.
Instead of writing them each time we need them, we deploy sharing for
these special strings. Until now, this was done with a linked list of
strings in which we would search, which was stored in the cache.
It turns out we can do this just as well in memory as well with a bunch
of std::map's.
In memory means here that it isn't available anymore if we have a partly
invalid cache, but that isn't much of a problem in practice as the
status file is compared to the other files we parse very small and includes
mostly duplicates, so the space we would gain by storing is more or less
equal to the size of the stored linked list…

Commit aa0fe657e46b87cc692895a36df12e8b74bb27bb sorts the package names
in the hashtable. We make use of this already in these functions, but as
a minor sideeffect it also means that we don't have 'noise' anymore
between packages belonging to the same group. We therefore don't need to
check for a matching name in Grp.FindPkg anymore.

Package names have to be lowercase (debian-policy §5.6.1) and in as
lowlevel as these method are it would be quiet strange to treat an
invalid package "suddently" as a valid one which other tools might or
might not accept. If case-insensitivity is really needed the frontend
should ensure this rather than these methods waste cpu cycles by
default.
Git-Dch: Ignore

They both store the same information, so this field just takes up space
in the Package struct for no good reason. We mark it "just" as deprecated
instead of instantly removing it though as it isn't misleading like
Section was and is potentially used in the wild more often.

Also rework the way we load the Release file, so it only after
Release.gpg verified the Release file. The rational is that we
never want to load untrusted data into our parsers. Only stuff
verified with gpg or by its hashes get loaded. To load untrusted
data you now need to use apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated.
|
|
|
|
With this branch we know that the data in the lists directory is always
what the release file says, so if the Release file is unchanged, then
there is no need to queue the download of the other indexfiles as they
will be unchanged too (or broken :)

This unneeded because pkgAcqIndexTrans has its own Custom600Headers()
method.
|
|
Revert because its a API change and the gain does not justify the
extra work to make the required changes in the consumers of this
interface at this point.

Some people want to standardize on it, and BSDs do it too, so let's
do the same.

Add a new "Debian-apt" user that owns the /var/lib/apt/lists
and /var/cache/apt/archive directories. The methods
http, https, ftp, gpgv, gzip switch to this user when they
start.
Thanks to Julian and "ioerror" and tors "switch_id()" code.
