Committer-Notes:
Complete files pulled from website as patches tend to be hard to work
with in this context. Last-Translator not updated as wished. po-files
refreshed.

Committer notes:
po file from #852485, patch applied from msg #2, further adapted as the
patch the --fix-broken string is referring to apt instead of apt-get.
Also changing the dot in "&apt-cache. &apt;" to a semicolon to fix the
syntax error and refreshed to drop the outdated fuzzy comments.
Closes: 852460

Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible
string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well.

While unlikely, it would be embarrising if we would need a freeze
exception for such a change, so lets do the flip now.
|
|
We are basically frozen now, but (a) this wildcard thing
is a bit "explosive" to call this RC and (b) you never know
if you might need to add a new tiny feature and freeze can
be long...
|

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some
common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel,
but should match any-arm.
With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are
both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11).
There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for
historical and API reasons:
* The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact
it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style
wildcard matching on the commandline.
* The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example
the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm-
is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard
ending in a minus.
* Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets
- by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any"
if there is a wildcard component.
Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch()
expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a
tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way.
This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all
things it should accept.

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.

Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for
that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not
about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which
tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via
low-level forced dpkg calls.
Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is
nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb".
And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed
to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future
and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run
interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we
can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user.

The implementation is quite different compared to --arch-only due to ABI
reasons but functionality wise they are similar and usually both
available for symmetry at least.

* the ascii armored variant since 1.4
Not supported is the (new in gpg 2.1) keybox format.

No need to ask translators to deal with typo fixes in english text,
adding new items to long existing lists and 'literals'.

This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it
is consistent with dak's output.
Closes: #272557

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).

The CDN service deb.d.o is more reliable than the http
redirector, so switch to it for our examples.

I probably missed that when I did the usability work. But better
late than never.

Distributions seem to install this stuff all over the place, so
let's add a common list of paths we know about.

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.

This is much better than removing them in debian/rules.

Seems like I missed that when adding doxygen support.

This commit looks heavy. Most of that comes from the fact that the
ordering of files in the translations changed with the switch to
CMake. I could have gone the extra mile to figure out the original
ordering and replicate it, but I have chosen to re-order everything
by file and line number, as that's easier.

With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.
This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.
The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.
