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).

Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky,
but if weak symbols are too much to ask for…
Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid
breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.

The general idea is: A small paragraph on the tool itself as a
description, a list of the most used (!= all) commands available in the
tool, a remark where to find more information on the tool and its
commands (aka: in the manpage) and finally a common block referring to
even more manpages. In exchange options are completely omitted from the
output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information
about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which
were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co
are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by
asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this
short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command
they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them
sanely in this context.

Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make
it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for
now.

This ensures that location strings loaded from a location specified via
configuration (Dir::Locale) effect the help messages for commands.

All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to
move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more
visible.

That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be
one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard
to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into
new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the
translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as
previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy.
The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate
one and similar stuff.

As we have support for 'hold', we need support for undoing a hold which
in effect means that we implemented most other states as well, just that
they weren't exposed in the interface directly so far.
|
|
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other
frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high
time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.

Users hold a package foo (at version X) or try to prevent the
installation of foo (usually based on the information they know about
version X), even if we say that we "hold a package". Conceptionally we
also need to know about which architecture we are talking and that is an
information bound to a version (as a package can change architecture
over time).
We internally did this lookup from Pkg to Ver already, we just move this
to a central place where the user has a change to influence it now.

As usual by now, not all containers wrapped by the cacheset containers
support all methods, like push_back now, but they fail on use of these
unusable methods only.
Would be nice to not expose these methods for unsupporting containers at
all, but that means either a lot of classes or a lot of std::enable_if
magic, which seems like too big work for this small wrapper for now.

Technically an abi-break as we change a template parameter to
std::iterator for this, but this class is empty in all instances and
just causes the right typedefs to be set – which were incorrect as
detected by std::stable_partition as its implementation uses ::pointer
and needs also a operator* implementation.
In practice CacheSets have no external users (yet) and the difference is
visible only at compile time (which was an error before and now works),
not while linking.
The changes to apt-mark are functionally identical to the code before,
just that we use a std:: algorithm now instead of trying hard on our
own.

Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg)
supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into
these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.

C++11 slightly changes the API again to const_iterator, but we are find
with iterators in the C++03 style for now as long as they look and
behave equally to the methods of the standard containers.

As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that
apt could not be built reproducibly.
One issue is that it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros of the C
preprocessor to display the time of build in the online help. We believe
this information not to be really useful to users as they can always
look at the package data and metadata to figure it out.
The attached patch simply removes this information. All
non-documentation packages can then be built reproducibly with our
current experimental framework.
[David: changed the string slightly to be untranslateable as well]

cppcheck reports this error, its not really a problem for us as the API
can actually deal with it via implicit conversion, but being explicit
can't hurt and the less reported errors the better.

Only "recent" versions of dpkg support stdin for merge instead of a
file, so as a quick fix we delay calling it until we really need it
which fixes most of the problem already.
Checking for a specific dpkg version here is deemed too much work, just
like using a temporary file here and depends a too high requirement for
this minor usecase. After all, it didn't work at all before, so we break
nobody here and can fix it if someone complains (with a patch).

dpkg wants to know about a package before it can be put on hold, so we
have to at least hint about its existance in the available file it
"maintaince" to know about such stuff. The simple thing would probably
be to just feed all Packages files into dpkg as well, but what would be
the point really? Exactly, so we take a shortcut here and just create
dummies in the available file if we need to which isn't going to be that
common as usually you are holding packages back and not off.
Who would have thought that a simple feature like setting a package on
hold requires more than 200 lines of code… at least with the testcase it
is now explicitly tested code.

By convention, if I run a tool with --help or --version I expect it to
exit successfully with the usage, while if I do call it wrong (like
without any parameters) I expect the usage message shown with a non-zero
exit.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

- arch:all packages are treated as arch:native packages, but dpkg
expects pkg:all for selections, so use the arch of the installed
version instead of the package structure if possible.
Thanks to Stepan Golosunov for the report! (Closes: #680041)

updating all po's, but as it is a simple transformation no re-call
and instead deal with them on merge
|
|
to the more standard PACKAGE_VERSION and make it work in every file
|
|
|
|
|
|
- detect if dpkg has multiarch support before calling --set-selections
|
|
|

* cmdline/apt-{get,cache,mark}.cc:
- use Lists instead of Sets if input order should be preserved for
commands accepting lists of packages, e.g. policy (Closes: #625960)

- reimplement apt-mark in c++
