2014-11-19use dpkg --merge-avail only if needed in apt-markDavid Kalnischkies
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).
2014-11-18various small additional tests and testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-09allow uninstalled packages to be put on holdDavid Kalnischkies
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 codeā€¦ at least with the testcase it is now explicitly tested code.
