These will run in our frontends currently, and can show
messages. For the sake of keeping the implementation
complexity low, a non-success variant of Post-Invoke
is not provided.

This is run after an update has been run and only if status on the

While running our CI we noticed that sometimes we see an error
from the new json hooks code. The error message is:
```
E: Could not read response to hello message from hook [ ! -f /usr/bin/snap ] || /usr/bin/snap advise-snap --from-apt 2>/dev/null || true: Broken pipe
```
when purging the snapd package which provides the hook. This indicates
that we should probably also consider EPIPE not an error (just like
we do for ECONNRESET). This PR does exactly this.

aptitude has a similar "reinstall" command for precedent.
|
|
This visits dependencies of all manually installed metapackages,
as determined by APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections, and marks them as
automatically installed. It can be used to clean up autoflags after
a d-i install, for example.

We need to show a yes/no prompt in minimize-manual, and
pretty package names, so export them here.

Fixes Debian/apt#77
|
|
The implementation of "apt-cache show" (not "apt show") incorrectly
resets the currently used parser if the record itself and the
description to show come from the same file (as it is the case if no
Translation-* files are available e.g. after debootstrap).
The code is more complex than you would hope to support some rather
unusual setups involving Descriptions and their translations as tested
for by ./test-bug-712435-missing-descriptions as otherwise this could
be a one-line change.

The uniqueness in std::set containers is ensured by the ordering
operator we provide, but it was not considering that different versions
can have the same description like the different architectures for a
version of a package.

Add support for dpkg frontend lock
See merge request apt-team/apt!11
|
|
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.
Closes: #869546

make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]

Makes the console output cleaner.
|
|
JSON hooks might disappear and the common idiom to work around hooks
disappearing is to check for the hook in the shell snippet that is
in the apt.conf file and if it does not exist, do nothing. This caused
APT to fail however, expecting it to acknowledge the handshake.
Ignoring ECONNRESET on handshakes solves the problem.
The error case, and the other error cases also did not stop execution
of the hook, causing more errors to pile up. Fix this by directly going
to the closing part of the code.
LP: #1776218
|

Now that --with-source is supported in show we can go a little further
and add the "syntactic sugar" of supporting deb-files on the commandline
directly to give users an alternative to remembering dpkg -I for deb
files & as a bonus apt also works on changes files.
Most of the code churn is actually to deal with cases probably not too
common in reality like mixing packages and deb-files on the commandline
and getting the right order for these multiple records.
Closes: 883206

The syntax is a bit awkward, but it is the same as for a package name
and introducing another syntax wouldn't really help usability, so with
apt install ./foo.deb/experimental you will get the dependencies of foo
satisfied by your default release, but if this wouldn't satisfy the
version requirements the candidate for this dependency is switched to
the version from the experimental release. The same applies for apt
build-dep ./foo.dsc/stable-backports which was the initial request.
|
|
apt install pkg/release follows versioned dependencies in the candidate
switching if the current candidate does not satisfy the dependency,
so for uniformity the same should be supported in build-dep.
|
|
This allows third-party package managers like snap or flatpak
to hook in and suggest alternatives if packages could not be
found, for example.
This is still highly experimental and the protocol might change
in future versions.
|
|
Collecting the packages we could not find allows us to pass them
to other places.
|
|
This setting was lost in the transition to cmake.
The private library has no public users and hence the default visibility
of symbols changed early to hidden – something which should eventually
be done for the public libraries as well, but one step at the time.

If a method needs a file to operate like e.g. mirror needs to get a list
of mirrors before it can redirect the the actual requests to them. That
could easily be solved by moving the logic into libapt directly, but by
allowing a method to request other methods to do something we can keep
this logic contained in the method and allow e.g. also methods which
perform binary patching or similar things.
Previously they would need to implement their own acquire system inside
the existing one which in all likelyhood will not support the same
features and methods nor operate with similar security compared to what
we have already running 'above' the requesting method. That said, to
avoid methods producing conflicts with "proper" files we are downloading
a new directory is introduced to keep the auxiliary files in.
[The message magic number 351 is a tribute to the german Grundgesetz
article 35 paragraph 1 which defines that all authorities of the
state(s) help each other on request.]

The casts are useless, but the reports show some where we can actually
improve the code by replacing them with better alternatives like
converting whatever int type into a string instead of casting to a
specific one which might in the future be too small.

gcc was warning about ignored type qualifiers for all of them due to the
last 'const', so dropping that and converting to static_cast in the
process removes the here harmless warning to avoid hidden real issues in
them later on.

apt usually gets the width of the window from the terminal or failing
that has a default value, but especially for testing it can be handy
to control the size as you can't be sure that variable sized content
will always be linebreaked as expected in the testcases.

It used FindI() > 0, but if it is too big, FindI() would
cause an error "Cannot convert %s to integer: out of range",
so let's also use FindULL() here.

Installed-Size for linux-image-4.13.0-1-amd64-dbg and friends
are larger than 4 GB, but read as a signed integer - that's
fine so far, as the value is in KB, but it's multiplied with
1024 which overflows. So let's read it as unsigned long long
instead.
While we're at it, also use unsigned long long for Size, in
case that is bigger than 2 GB.

cppcheck reports:
(portability) Passing NULL after the last typed argument to a variadic
function leads to undefined behaviour.
We don't ship on any platform which has this as undefined behaviour
through – or it would be pretty well defined "bad" behaviour which
always works, so even through UB is a trigger word, its hardly
noteworthy as a change (and as a bonus the scanners of gcc/clang
don't consider it UB).
The commonly accepted method of fixing that seems to be (const
char*)NULL, but it is in fact much simpler to just switch to the varadic
functions C++ provides resolving the warning and reducing code.

The code only used to warn when it came into a situation where
something actually had to be forced. Warn directly after parsing
the command-line instead, that's more accurate.
|

The feature exists for a long while even if we get around to document
it properly only now, so we should push for its adoption a bit to avoid
the problems its supposed to solve like avoiding usage of non-world
readable configuration files as they can cause strange behaviour for the
unsuspecting user (like different solutions as root and non-root).
|
|
We detect the effected sources by matching Release info – that has
potential by-catch of repositories which have incorrect field values,
but those are better fixed now anyhow. The bigger incorrectness is that
this message will not only be printed for the Debian services itself but
also for all mirrors not under Debian control but serving Debian like more
local/private mirrors which will not (directly) shutdown. It is likely
through that many of them will follow suite with less visible
announcements or break downright if their upstream source disappears, so
having false-positives here seems benefitial for the user in the end.

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.
The changes were done by running
git grep -l '#\s*include' \
| grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \
| xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/'
To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running
./git-clang-format.sh.

Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because
pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.

If we have a user sitting around we can let 'apt' ask the user for a
confirmation rather than print errors at the end and require the user to
figure out which commandline flags are needed to confirm the changes
non-interactively.
|
|
The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user
configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades.
A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on
the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values.
In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now
explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options
and commandline flags to accept them.

The exception was made to give (script) users a one-release grace period
to adapt their setup to deal with apt enforcing signing of repositories.
As we are now at the start of a new release cycle its as good a time as
any to lift it now.

Adopting this change in other frontends will require source changes as
well similar to our own changes in apt-private/.

Showing messages related to downloading in a mode which can't download
is pretty pointless, so instead of trying harder to make it so that
these messages do not trigger just skip them entirely.
That the message triggered here is an artifact of the implementation in
which the download items are finished, while the code expects them to be
still pending – even the in a previous run completely downloaded files.

We are in a dilemma here: The regression of sorts was introduced in 2013
with commit d8a8f9d7f0 allowing pkg modifiers for the upgrade commands.
That calls the autoremover as a sideeffect through and with it comes the
option to remove the garbage packages in these commands (similar to aptitude).
Having the option on the commandline is no problem – people aren't going
to request what they don't want (or so I hope), but the documentation
explicitly states that this option only effects install/remove and
mentions a config knob users might use and expect to not suddenly apply
(especially without documentation) to more commands.
Just reverting the commit is out of question, completely ignoring the
option breaks the workflow of every user who happened to use
--autoremove on the commandline for upgrade and expects that to work
given that it was accepted and worked in a stable release. Changing the
documentation to reflect reality while perhaps the simplest and cleanest
option contradicts freeze and is a surprising change we tend to avoid
like the plague while just leaving it be confuses all users who end up
believing the documentation even if was different in the last 3 years.
So what we do is a tricky compromise: The configuration option if read
from a file does apply only for install/remove as documented, while if
the option is encountered on the commandline it is accepted and applies
to the upgrade which should make 99% of the users happy. The rest has to
wait for us to figure out for buster how to get that documented and
implemented in a saner way.

Normal cows moo every time they feel like it and it might be a "moo",
"moo!" or "moo?". This is completely unacceptable behaviour in our super
cow through as as a superior being it has to show its superiority over
the common cows and the meager easter eggs by being fully reproducible!
The second version of Chris' patch is modified to include an array of
tests for this feature – which doubles as explanation for some of the
moo lines by giving more exact dates – and falling back to current time
if the environment is invalid + passing time around instead of having an
invalid environment be an unrecoverable error (aka: Guru Meditation) as
that is more inline with how apt usually behaves: The wisdom of super cow
should be available to everyone, even to the most misfortune users not
capable of having a valid environment variable.
That makes the code slightly more ugly, so instead of requiring a young
follower to produce a third version a high priest of the cult applied the
finishing touches as he is used to the pain by now – and another round
with the slowpoke high priest would have been a serious threat to the
Debian release schedule which the cow would not approve.

The update command acquires a lock on lists/, but at the end it will
also require the dpkg/lock while building the binary caches. That seems
rather pointless as we are only reading those files, not causing writing
in them. This can also cause problems if a package installation is
running and a background process (like cron) starts an update: If you
are "lucky" enough the update process will pick the dpkg lock in between
apt calls causing the installation process to fail.
|
|
We get the archives/lock for clean – that is enough to ensure that other
apt instances aren't interfering (or are being interfered with). We
don't need to block actions involving dpkg.
|
|
Unlikely that anyone is actually running into this, but if we asked to
not generate a cache and avoid it in the first step we shouldn't create
one implicitly anyway by displaying the statistics.
|
|
This will avoid people from thinking that they have to do nothing
when they change the set of files.

The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the
given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The
whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have
a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a
special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is
loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown.
Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a
snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it
found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users.
¹ not all in this iteration, but many
|
|
Again no practical difference, but for consistency a boolean option
should really be accessed via a boolean method rather than an int
especially if you happen to try setting the option to "true" …
