As outlined in #748355 apt segfaulted if it encountered a loop between a
package pre-depending on a package conflicting with the previous as it
ended up in an endless loop trying to unpack 'the other package'.
In this specific case as an essential package is involved a lot of force
needs to be applied, but can also be caused by 'normal' tight loops and
highlights a problem in how we handle breaks which we want to avoid.
The fix comes in multiple entangled changes:
1. All Smart* calls are guarded with loop detection. Some already had it,
some had parts of it, some did it incorrect, and some didn't even try.
2. temporary removes to avoid a loop (which is done if a loop is
detected) prevent the unpack of this looping package (we tried to unpack
it to avoid the conflict/breaks, but due to a loop we couldn't, so we
remove/deconfigure it instead which means we can't unpack it now)
3. handle conflicts and breaks very similar instead of duplicating most
of the code. The only remaining difference is, as it should:
deconfigure is enough for breaks, for conflicts we need the big hammer

The by-hash can be configured on a per-hostname basis and a Release
file can indicate that it has by-hash support via a new flag.
The location of the hash now matches the AptByHash spec
|
|
This implements a apt update schema that get the indexfiles by the
hash instead of the name. The rational is that updates to the archive
servers/mirrors are not atomic so the client may have the previous
version of the Release file when the server updates to a new
Release file and new Packages/Sources/Translations indexes. By
keeping the files around by their hash we can still get the previous
indexfile without a hashsum mismatch.
Enable with APT::Acquire::By-Hash=1

In bugreport #747261 I confirmed with this testcase that apt actually
supports the requested architecture-specific conflicts already since
2012 with commit cef094c2ec8214b2783a2ac3aa70cf835381eae1.
The old test only does simulations which are handy to check apt,
this one builds 'real' packages to see if dpkg agrees with us.

Version/Architecture information in a Translation-$lang file is
not allowed, so don't try to parse it. This is a fix for a bugreport
where a Translation-en file contained the content of the regular
Packages file (probably due to local FS corruption). This lead to
strange error messages on file download.
Thanks to Thomas Reusch for the report.

dpkg on Ubuntu 12.04 does not seem to support parsing arch-specific
dependencies, so we try to detect if we face such a dpkg in the test.
In the other test the order depends on libdb, which changes per arch, so
we just run it through our sorting binary and be happy (hopefully).

The cache heavily depends on the architecture(s) it is build for,
especially if you move from single- to multiarch. Adding a new
architecture to dpkg therefore has to be detected and must invalidate
the cache so that we don't operate on incorrect data.
The incorrect data will prevent us from doing otherwise sensible
actions (it doesn't allow bad things to happen) and the recovery is
simple and automatic in most cases, so this hides pretty well and is
also not as serious as it might sound at first.

Removes the 256 fields limit, deals consistently with spaces littered
all over the place and is even a tiny bit faster than before.
Even comes with a bunch of new tests to validate these claims.

It seems unlikely for now that proper archives will carry multiple
Description-* stanzas in the Packages (or Translation-*) file, but
sometimes apt eats its own output as shown by the usage of the CD team
and it would be interesting to let apt output multiple translations
e.g. in 'apt-cache show'.

Now that methods have the expected hashes available they can check if
the response from the server is what they expected. Pipelining is one of
those areas in which servers can mess up by not supporting it properly,
which forced us to disable it for the time being. Now, we check if
we got a response out of order, which we can not only use to disable
pipelining automatically for the next requests, but we can fix it up
just like the server responded in proper order for the current requests.
To ensure that this little trick works pipelining is only attempt if we
have hashsums for all the files in the chain which in theory reduces the
use of pipelining usage even on the many servers which work properly,
but in practice only the InRelease file (or similar such) will be
requested without a hashsum – and as it is the only file requested in
that stage it can't be pipelined even if we wanted to.
Some minor annoyances remain: The display of the progress we have
doesn't reflect this change, so it looks like the same package gets
downloaded multiple times while others aren't at all. Further more,
partial files are not supported in this recovery as the received data
was appended to the wrong file, so the hashsum doesn't match.
Both seem to be minor enough to reenable pipelining by default until
further notice through to test if it really solves the problem.
This therefore reverts commit 8221431757c775ee875a061b184b5f6f2330f928.

Now that libapts acquire system happily passes around hashes and can be
made to support new ones without an ABI break in the future, we can
free ftparchive from all the deprecation warnings the last commit
introduced for it.
The goal here isn't to preserve ABI as we have none to keep here, but to
help avoiding introduction problems of 'new' hashes later as bugs creep
into the copy&paste parts, so short/less of them is good.
|

It is not very extensible to have the supported Hashes hardcoded
everywhere and especially if it is part of virtual method names.
It is also possible that a method does not support the 'best' hash
(yet), so we might end up not being able to verify a file even though we
have a common subset of supported hashes. And those are just two of the
cases in which it is handy to have a more dynamic selection.
The downside is that this is a MAJOR API break, but the HashStringList
has a string constructor for compatibility, so with a bit of luck the
few frontends playing with the acquire system directly are okay.

Collect all hashes we can get from the source record and put them into a
HashStringList so that 'apt-get source' can use it instead of using
always the MD5sum.
We therefore also deprecate the MD5 struct member in favor of the list.
While at it, the parsing of the Files is enhanced so that records which
miss "Files" (aka MD5 checksums) are still searched for other checksums
as they include just as much data, just not with a nice and catchy name.

The line contains everchanging execution statistics which is harmful for
testcases as they need to filter out such lines, but this is hard so we
can just add an option to disable them instead and be done.

Closes: 746434

The bugreport highlights the problem with an empty package name. We fix
this by 'ignoring' these so that it behaves just like "apt-get install".
The deeper problem is that modifier strings can be longer than a package
name in which case the comparison doesn't make sense, so don't compare
then. Was not noticed so far as all modifiers are of length 1, so the
only package name shorter than this is in fact the empty package name.

A package which can't be downloaded anymore is very likely dropped from
a release and can therefore no longer be 'standard' (or similar). We
therefore do not grant points for them anymore and demote them to
prio:extra instead which helps other packages breaking them away even if
they have a lower priority.
The testcase was initially created by Michael Vogt and just amended.

If the user is using "apt list pattern" and there is only a single
hit, notice about "--all-versions" as this is what the user may
be interessted in

Packages in the "deinstall ok config-file" have no candidate or
instaleld version. So they must be special cased in the apt list
generation.

Use mkstemp() in apt-extractemplates and add a integrationtest

In commit 446551c8 I changed MarkInstall to discard the candidate if the
candidate can't satisfy the dependency. This breaks interactive solvers
like aptitude which can change the candidate on-the-fly later.
In commit df77d8a5 I introduced this 'early' loop-breaking to begin with
which can't be that helpful for interactive solvers as well, but makes
perfect sense for non-interactives to stop them from exploring trees
which can't be satisfied, but it isn't perfect as ideally we would check
this before auto-installing the first dependency.
This commit therefore moves the loop into its own IsInstallOk hook so
that frontends can override this check if they want to and in exchange
removes the loop-breaking from MarkInstall itself and does it before any
dependency is installed.

We have to properly close our pseudo terminals even in error cases
before we call post-invoke scripts. This is done now by breaking from
the dpkg calling loop instead of copying the handling, which did it in
the wrong order before.
This also ensures that our state file is written in error cases to
record autobit and co as this was forgotten before.
