APT connects just fine to any .onion address given, only if the connect
fails somehow it will perform checks on the sanity of which in this case
is checking the length as they are well defined and as the strings are
arbitrary a user typing them easily mistypes which apt should can be
slightly more helpful in figuring out by saying the onion hasn't the
required length.

This automatically removes any old apt-transport-https, as
apt now Breaks it unversioned.

When writing a Sources files hashes that were already present
in the .dsc were always copied through (or modified), even if
disabled. Remove them instead when they are disabled, otherwise
we end up with hashes for tarballs and stuff but not for dsc
files (as the dsc obviously does not hash itself).
Also adjust the tests: test-compressed-indexes relied on Files
being present in showsrc, and test-apt-update-weak-hashes expected
the tarball to be downloaded when an archive only has MD5 and we
are requiring SHA256 because that used to work because the tarball
was always included.

gpgv: WARNING: This key is not suitable for signing in --compliance=gnupg mode
|
|
It was broken because apt.conf.d was not readable, but that's
where the architecture is defined...
|
|
If 'apt-ftparchive packages /path/to/files/' (or sources) is used the
files to include in the generated index (on stdout) were included in the
order in which they were discovered, which isn't a very stable order
which could lead to indexes changing without actually changing content
causing needless changes in the repository changing hashsums, pdiffs,
rsyncs, downloads, ….
This does not effect apt-ftparchive calls which already have an order
defined via a filelist (like generate) which will still print in the
order given by the filelist.
Note that a similar effect can be achieved by post-processing index
files with apt-sortpkgs.
Closes: 869557

The feature exists for a long while even if we get around to document
it properly only now, so we should push for its adoption a bit to avoid
the problems its supposed to solve like avoiding usage of non-world
readable configuration files as they can cause strange behaviour for the
unsuspecting user (like different solutions as root and non-root).
|
|
We detect the effected sources by matching Release info – that has
potential by-catch of repositories which have incorrect field values,
but those are better fixed now anyhow. The bigger incorrectness is that
this message will not only be printed for the Debian services itself but
also for all mirrors not under Debian control but serving Debian like more
local/private mirrors which will not (directly) shutdown. It is likely
through that many of them will follow suite with less visible
announcements or break downright if their upstream source disappears, so
having false-positives here seems benefitial for the user in the end.
|
|
On HTTP Connect we since recently look into the auth.conf file for login
information, so we should really look for all proxies into the file as
the argument is the same as for sources entries and it is easier to
document (especially as the manpage already mentions it as supported).
|
|
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing
518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and
netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer
exists making the feature even more arcane.
On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style)
and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit
strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first.
We now do a single pass over the stanzas.
In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not
really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to
document and more usual for an apt user.
Closes: #811181

We used to fail on unreadable config/preferences/sources files, but at
least for sources we didn't in the past and it seems harsh to refuse to
work because of a single file, especially as the error messages are
inconsistent and end up being silly (like suggesting to run apt update
to fix the problem…).
LP: #1701852
|
|
Using different ways of opening files means we have different behaviour
and error messages for them, so by the same for all we can have more
uniformity for users and apt developers alike.
|
|
Failing on too much data is good, but we can do better by checking for
exact filesizes as we know with hashsums how large a file should be, so
if we get a file which has a size we do not expect we can drop it
directly, regardless of if the file is larger or smaller than what we
expect which should catch most cases which would end up as hashsum
errors later now a lot sooner.
|
|
We tend to operate on rather large static files, which means we usually
get Content-Length information from the server. If we combine this
information with the filesize we are expecting (factoring in pipelining)
we can avoid reading a bunch of data we are ending up rejecting anyhow
by just closing the connection saving bandwidth and time both for the
server as well as the client.
|
|
It is highly unlikely to encounter fields which start with HTTP in
practice, but we should really be a bit more restrictive here.

The comment says this is intended, but looking at the history reveals
that the comment comes from a different era. Nowadays we don't really
need it anymore (and even back then it was disputeable) as we haven't
used that file for our update in the end and nothing really needs this
file after the update.
Triggered is this by 188f297a2af4c15cb1d502360d1e478644b5b810 which
moves various error conditions forward including this code expecting the
file to exist – but it doesn't need to as download could have failed.
We could fix that by simple checking if the file exists and only stage
it if it does, but instead we don't stage it and instead even rename it
out of the way with our conventional FAILED name (if it exists).
That restores support for partial mirrors (= in this case mirrors which
don't ship pdiff files). Note that apt heals itself even if only such a
mirror is used as the update is successful even if that error is shown.

Commit d7c92411dc1f4c6be098d1425f9c1c075e0c2154 parses the Components
section of (In)Release and attempts to detect the distribution's
supported components. While doing so, it handles component names with
slashes in a special manner, assuming that the actual component is only
the part after the final slash. This is done to handle
security.debian.org, which usually appears in sources.list as follows:
deb http://s.d.o/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
while the actual release file has:
Codename: stretch
Components: updates/main updates/contrib updates/non-free
While this special handing on APTs part indeed works for
debian-security, it emits spurious warnings on repositories that
actually use slashes in the component names *and* appear so in
sources.list.
We fix this by adding both component versions (whole and final part) to
the SupportedComponents array.
Closes: #868127

This caused spurious test failures.
|
|
The old curl based method is still available as 'curl',
'curl+http', and 'curl+https'.
|
|
When APT was trying multiple addresses, any later error
somewhere else would be reported with ConnectionRefused
or ConnectionTimedOut as the FailReason because that
was set by early connect attempts. This causes APT to
handle the failures differently, leading to some weirdly
breaking test cases (like the changed one).
Add debugging to the previously failing test case so
we can find out when something goes wrong there again.
|
|
The apt-transport-tor package operates via simple symlinks which can
result in 'http' being called as 'tor+https', so it must pick up the
right configuration pieces and trigger https support also in plus names.
|
|
This should fix some issues with dpkg normalizing such
values. Suprisingly enough apt treats the Version: field
the same, even with epoch vs without, but not when searching,
and does not strip the 0: from the output.
|
|
This gives the repository owner a chance to explain why this change was
needed – e.g. explaining the organisational changes or simply detailing
the changes in the new release made. Note that this URI is also shown
if the change is accepted, so it also draws attention to release notes
of minor updates (if users watch apt output closely).
|
|
The value of Origin, Label, Codename and co can be used in user
configuration from apts own pinning to unattended upgrades.
A repository changing this values can therefore have serious effects on
the behaviour of apt and other tools using these values.
In a first step we will generate error messages for these changes now
explaining the need for explicit confirmation and provide config options
and commandline flags to accept them.
|

The exception was made to give (script) users a one-release grace period
to adapt their setup to deal with apt enforcing signing of repositories.
As we are now at the start of a new release cycle its as good a time as
any to lift it now.

On Travis CI running tests with code coverage enabled sometimes
generates profiling lines, which we filter out for a while now,
but that misses lines generated showing progress still causing test
failures, so more sed logic is added in the hopes to ignore them.

An unknown code should be handled the same as the x00 code of this
group, but for redirections we used to treat 300 (and a few others)
as an error while unknown codes were considered redirections.
Instead we check now explicitly for the redirection codes we support for
redirecting (and add the 308 defined in RFC 7538) to avoid future
problems if new 3xx codes are added expecting certain behaviours.
Potentially strange would have been e.g. "305 Use Proxy" sending a
Location for the proxy to use – which wouldn't have worked and resulted
in an error anyhow, but probably confused users in the process.
|

There are very many HTTP errorcodes which indicate that the repository
isn't available at the moment or the connection has some kind of
problem. Given that we do not require Release files the result was that
these errors were ignored and the user presented with a message like
"Repository is no longer signed" which sends the user in the wrong
direction.
Instead of trying to figure out which http errorcodes indicate a global
problem we accept only 404 for ignoring and consider all the rest as
hard errors now causing us to stop instantly after the InRelease file
and print the errorcode (with short description from server) received.
|
|
Moving the code responsible for parsing the Index file from ::Done into
the slightly earlier ::VerifyDone allows us to still "fail" the download
if we can't make use of the Index for whatever reason, so that the
progress log correctly displays "Ign" instead of "Get" for the file.
This also makes quiet a few debug messages proper error messages (but
those are still hidden by default for Ign lines).
|
|
If we couldn't find an entry for a Sources file we would generate an
error while for a Packages file we would silently skip it due to
assuming it is missing because it is empty. We can do better by checking
if the repository declares that it supports a component we want to get
the file from and if not say so and hint at the user making a typo.
An example were this helps is mozilla.debian.net which dropped the
firefox-aurora component (as upstream did) meaning no upgrades until the
user notices manually that the repository doesn't provide packages
anymore. With this commit warnings are raised hopefully causing the user
to investigate what is wrong (sooner).

As the proxy commands are not executed as root, a user can run into
permission errors (s)he isn't expecting – as our switching is an
implementation detail – so the error message in that case should really
be better than a generic "error code 100" sending the user in the wrong
direction as that implies the command was executed, but errored out.

We setup a "horrible" environment in the apt-key testcase to check all
kinds of things, but we really should be making also at least a simple
apt update call, as that in turn will call apt-key which is how apt-key
is used in the non-testcase world, so that calling should be able to
deal with such environments as well.

If the last alternative(s) of an Or group is ignored, because it does
not match an architecture list, we would end up keeping the or flag,
effectively making the next AND an OR.
For example, when parsing (on amd64):
debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386]
=> debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev |
Which can cause python-apt to crash.
Even worse:
debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | libnacl-dev [i386], foobar
=> debhelper (>= 9), libnacl-dev [amd64] | foobar
By setting the previous alternatives Or flag to the current Or flag
if the current alternative is ignored, we solve the issue.

We are in a dilemma here: The regression of sorts was introduced in 2013
with commit d8a8f9d7f0 allowing pkg modifiers for the upgrade commands.
That calls the autoremover as a sideeffect through and with it comes the
option to remove the garbage packages in these commands (similar to aptitude).
Having the option on the commandline is no problem – people aren't going
to request what they don't want (or so I hope), but the documentation
explicitly states that this option only effects install/remove and
mentions a config knob users might use and expect to not suddenly apply
(especially without documentation) to more commands.
Just reverting the commit is out of question, completely ignoring the
option breaks the workflow of every user who happened to use
--autoremove on the commandline for upgrade and expects that to work
given that it was accepted and worked in a stable release. Changing the
documentation to reflect reality while perhaps the simplest and cleanest
option contradicts freeze and is a surprising change we tend to avoid
like the plague while just leaving it be confuses all users who end up
believing the documentation even if was different in the last 3 years.
So what we do is a tricky compromise: The configuration option if read
from a file does apply only for install/remove as documented, while if
the option is encountered on the commandline it is accepted and applies
to the upgrade which should make 99% of the users happy. The rest has to
wait for us to figure out for buster how to get that documented and
implemented in a saner way.

In the case of build-dep and other commands where a file can be
passed we must make sure not to normalize the path name as that
can have odd side effects, or well, cause the operation to do
nothing.
Test for build-dep-file is adjusted to perform the vcard check
once as "vcard" and once as "VCard", thus testing that this
solves the reported bug.
We inline the std::transform() and optimize it a bit to not
write anything in the common case (package names are defined
to be lowercase, the whole transformation is just for names
that should not exist...) to counter the performance hit of
the added find() call (it's about 0.15% more instructions
than with the existing transform, but we save about 0.67%
in writes...).

Normal cows moo every time they feel like it and it might be a "moo",
"moo!" or "moo?". This is completely unacceptable behaviour in our super
cow through as as a superior being it has to show its superiority over
the common cows and the meager easter eggs by being fully reproducible!
The second version of Chris' patch is modified to include an array of
tests for this feature – which doubles as explanation for some of the
moo lines by giving more exact dates – and falling back to current time
if the environment is invalid + passing time around instead of having an
invalid environment be an unrecoverable error (aka: Guru Meditation) as
that is more inline with how apt usually behaves: The wisdom of super cow
should be available to everyone, even to the most misfortune users not
capable of having a valid environment variable.
That makes the code slightly more ugly, so instead of requiring a young
follower to produce a third version a high priest of the cult applied the
finishing touches as he is used to the pain by now – and another round
with the slowpoke high priest would have been a serious threat to the
Debian release schedule which the cow would not approve.

If apt renames a file to .FAILED it leaves its namespace and is never
touched again – expect since 1.1~exp4 in which "apt clean" will remove
those files. The usefulness of these files rapidly degrades if you don't
keep the update log itself (together with debug output in the best case)
through and on 99% of all system they will be kept around forever just
to collect dust over time and eat up space.
With this commit an update call will remove all FAILED files of previous
runs, so that the FAILED files you have on disk are always only the ones
related to the last apt run stopping apt from hoarding files.
