Most (if not all) solvers should be able to run perfectly fine without
root privileges as they get the entire state they are supposed to work
on via stdin and do not perform any action directly, but just pass
suggestions on via stdout.
The new default is to run them all as _apt hence, but each solver can
configure another user if it chooses/must. The security benefits are
minimal at best, but it helps preventing silly mistakes (see
35f3ed061f10a25a3fb28bc988fddbb976344c4d) and that is always good.
Note that our 'apt' and 'dump' solver already dropped privileges if they
had them.

For bugreports and co it could be handy to have the scenario and all the
settings used in it around later for inspection for EDSP like protocols.
EDSP might not be the most interesting as the user can still interrupt
the process before the solution is applied and users tend to have an
opinion on the "rightness" of a solution, so it is disabled by default.
|
|
EDSP had a WriteSolution method to write out the entire solution based
on the inspection of a given pkgDepCache, but that is rather inflexible
both for EDSP itself and for other EDSP like-protocols. It seems better
to use a smaller scope in printing just a single stanza based on a given
version as there is more reuse potential.

First seen on hurd, but easily reproducible on all systems by removing
the 'execution' bit from the current working directory and watching some
tests (mostly the no-output expecting tests) fail due to find printing:
"find: Failed to restore initial working directory: …"
Samuel Thibault says in the bugreport:
| To do its work, find first records the $PWD, then goes to
| /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ to find the files, and then goes back to $PWD.
|
| On Linux, getting $PWD from the 700 directory happens to work by luck
| (POSIX says that getcwd can return [EACCES]: Search permission was denied
| for the current directory, or read or search permission was denied for a
| directory above the current directory in the file hierarchy). And going
| back to $PWD fails, and thus find returns 1, but at least it emitted its
| output.
|
| On Hurd, getting $PWD from the 700 directory fails, and find thus aborts
| immediately, without emitting any output, and thus no keyring is found.
|
| So, to summarize, the issue is that since apt-get update runs find as a
| non-root user, running it from a 700 directory breaks find.
Solved as suggested by changing to '/' before running find, with some
paranoia extra care taking to ensure the paths we give to find are really
absolute paths first (they really should, but TMPDIR=. or a similar
Dir::Etc::trustedparts setting could exist somewhere in the wild).
The commit takes also the opportunity to make these lines slightly less
error ignoring and the two find calls using (mostly) the same parameters.
Thanks: Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit!

Broken in e7e10e47476606e3b2274cf66b1e8ea74b236757 by looking always

Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which
would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by
setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which
for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text
interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the
numbers to be formatted.

This allows to differentiate properly between 'apt-get upgrade', 'apt

I doubt there is any non-src:apt usage of these interfaces.

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).

We want to stop hard-depending on gnupg and for this it is essential
that apt-key isn't used in any critical execution path, which
maintainerscript are. Especially as it is likely that these script call
apt-key either only for (potentially now outdated cleanup) or still not
use the much simpler trusted.gpg.d infrastructure.
|
|
Fixed in f7bd44bae0d7cb7f9838490b5eece075da83899e already, but the
commit misses the Closes tag and while we are at it we can add a simple
regression test and micro-optimize it a bit.
Thanks: James McCoy for the suggestion.

This way it works more similar to the compressor binaries, which we
can relief in this way from their job in the test framework avoiding the
need of adding e.g. liblz4-tool to the test dependencies.

Downloading and storing are two different operations were different
compression types can be preferred. For downloading we provide the
choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to
be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available
in the repository.
Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by
apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the
compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression.
apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has
options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files
we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as
they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they
are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide
other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for
download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories.
Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to
another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files
are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow
and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in
general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save
time later on file access.

This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must
be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the
leading dot.

This can automatically handle compressed files and is useful

The presents (even of an empty) secring.gpg is indication enough for
gpg2 to tigger the migration code which not only produces a bunch of
output on each apt-key call, but also takes a while to complete as an
agent needs to be started and all that.
We workaround the first part by forcing the migration to happen always
in a call we forced into silence, but that leaves us with an agent to
start all the time – with a bit of reordering we can make it so that we
do not explicitly create the secring, but let gpg create it if needed,
which prevents the migration from being triggered and we have at least a
bit less of a need for an agent. Changes - even to public only keyrings
- still require one, but such actions are infrequent in comparison to
verification calls, so that should be a net improvement.

apt-key creates internally a script (since ~1.1) which it will call to
avoid dealing with an array of different options in the code itself, but
while writing this script it wraps the values in "", which will cause
the shell to evaluate its content upon execution.
To make 'use' of this either set a absolute gpg command or TMPDIR to
something as interesting as:
"/tmp/This is fü\$\$ing cràzy, \$(man man | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)\$!"
If such paths can be encountered in reality is a different question…

In e75e5879 'replace "which" with "command -v" for portability' I missed
that command -v isn't actually required to be available in debian, so
for the 5 files we are using it:
Two (abicheck/run_abi_test & test/integration/framework) are called in
environments were I believe sh is at least dash or 'better' as the first
one is "interactive" for apt developers and the later is sourced by ~200
tests in the same directory run by hand and ci-services – for the later
we have pulled some uglier hacks for worser things already, so if there
should actually end up needing something more compatible we will notice
eventually (and the later actually had a command -v call for some time
already and nobody came running).
debian/rules and debian/apt.cron.daily I switched back to which as that
is more or less debian-specific or at least highly non-critical.
That leaves cmdline/apt-key.in with a bunch of calls where I will
implement that functionality in shell as this is relatively short-lived
as it is used to detect wget (for net-update, which Michael wants to
revive and in that process will properly use apt-helper instead of wget)
and to detect gpg vs. gpg2 systems, where the earlier is supposed to go
away in the longrun (or the later, but by replacing the earlier…).
[and this gpg/gpg2 detection is new in sid, so I have some sympathy for
that being a problem now.]

After e75e5879 the reason for an implicit dependency on debianutils
(which is essential for debian, but likely not on other systems) was
just two uses of run-parts, which can be replaced with the a lot more
portable find-piped-into-sort duo.

Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print
at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to
pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't
exist in the first place).
This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in
pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary
uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to
files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move.
That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide
the error for in non-root test runs.

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.

apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands
are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in
general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow
users to use them.
This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog,
depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive
commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at
all.

-q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect
errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which
the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some
things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it
ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before.
Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…

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.

The show commands have different styles in both binaries as the audience
is potentially very different, but that doesn't mean we need to separate
the implementation especially as they are slightly similar. This also
allows us to switch between the different show versions at runtime via
an option.

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.
