Some people do not recognize the field value with such an arcane name
and/or expect it to refer to something different (e.g. #839257).
We can't just rename it internally as its an avoidance strategy as such
fieldname existed previously with less clear semantics, but we can spare
the general public from this implementation detail.

For "Hash Sum mismatch" that info doesn't make a whole lot of
difference, but for the new insufficient info message an indicator that
while this hashes are there and even match, they aren't enough from a
security standpoint.
|
|
There is a subtile difference between an empty setting and "DIRECT" in
the configuration as the later overrides the generic settings while the
earlier does not. Also, non-zero exitcodes should really be reported as
an error rather than silently discarded.

Regression introduced in 8f858d560e3b7b475c623c4e242d1edce246025a.
Commands are probably better of always having output through as the
fall through to the generic proxy settings is likely not intended. As
documenting and implementing this more consistently is kind of a
regression through, it is split off into the next commit.

Users tend to report these errors with just this error message… not very
actionable and hard to figure out if this is a temporary or 'permanent'
mirror-sync issue or even the occasional apt bug.
Showing the involved hashsums and modification times should help in
triaging these kind of bugs – and eventually we will have less of them
via by-hash.
The subheaders aren't marked for translation for now as they are
technical glibberish and probably easier to deal with if not translated.
After all, our iconic "Hash Sum mismatch" is translated at least.
These additions were proposed in #817240 by Peter Palfrader.

This is a duplicate of sorts of 0efb29eb36184bbe6de7b1013d1898796d94b171
which is the a lot more frequent case of this error – and also a
duplicate of this error message, just without the \n at the end.

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.

This allows running tests in parallel.

And of course, testing obscure things ends up showing obscure 'bugs' or
better shortcomings/inconsitencies, so lets fix them with the tests.

We want to declare some hashes as not enough for security, so that a
user will need --allow-unauthenticated or similar to get data secured
only by those hashes, but we can still us these hashes for integrity
checks if we got them.
|

The md5sum hash is broken since some time and we should no longer
consider it a usable hash. Also update the tests to reflect this.

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.

Real webservers (like apache) actually send an error page with a 416
response, but our client didn't expect it leaving the page on the socket
to be parsed as response for the next request (http) or as file content
(https), which isn't what we want at all… Symptom is a "Bad header line"
as html usually doesn't parse that well to an http-header.
This manifests itself e.g. if we have a complete file (or larger) in
partial/ which isn't discarded by If-Range as the server doesn't support
it (or it is just newer, think: mirror rotation).
It is a sort-of regression of 78c72d0ce22e00b194251445aae306df357d5c1a,
which removed the filesize - 1 trick, but this had its own problems…
To properly test this our webserver gains the ability to reply with
transfer-encoding: chunked as most real webservers will use it to send
the dynamically generated error pages.
(The tests and their binary helpers had to be slightly modified to
apply, but the patch to fix the issue itself is unchanged.)

Usually they don't provide a lot in terms of what they test, but they
help in covering many lines from strictly anecdotal commands (stats,
moo) and error messages, so that stuff which really needs to be tested,
but isn't is better visible in coverage reports.

partial files are chowned by the Item baseclass to let the methods work
with them. Now, this baseclass is also responsible for chowning the
files back to root instead of having various deeper levels do this.
The consequence is that all overloaded Failed() methods now call the
Item::Failed base as their first step. The same is done for Done().
The effect is that even in partial files usually don't belong to
_apt anymore, helping sneakernets and reducing possibilities of a bad
method modifying files not belonging to them.
The change is supported by the framework not only supporting being run
as root, but with proper permission management, too, so that privilege
dropping can be tested with them.

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)
Closes: 762898

When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect
command for each host instead of only once. This should make using
"proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC
style or other proxy configurations.
