2014-09-27 | fix progress output for (dist-)upgrade calculation | David Kalnischkies | |
Previously, we had a start and a done of the calculation printed by higher-level code, but this got intermixed by progress reporting from an external solver or the output of autoremove codeā¦ The higherlevel code is now only responsible for instantiating a progress object of its choosing (if it wants progress after all) and the rest will be handled by the upgrade code. Either it is used to show the progress of the external solver or the internal solver will give some hints about its overall progress. The later isn't really a proper progress as it will jump forward after each substep, but that is at least a bit better than before without any progress indication. Fixes also the 'strange' non-display of this progress line in -q=1, while all others are shown, which is reflected by all testcase changes. | |||
2014-08-26 | support versioned provides as implemented by dpkg | David Kalnischkies | |
APT supported versioned provides for a long while in an attempt to get it working with rpm. While this support is old, we can be relatively sure that it works as versioned provides are used internally to make Multi-Arch:foreign work. Previous versions of apt will print a warning indicating that the versioned provides is ignored, so that something which "Provides: foo (= 2)" doesn't provide anything. Note that dpkg does allow only a equals-relation in the provides line as anything else is deemed too complex. apt doesn't support anything else either and such a support would require potentially big changes.
