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).

Changes in the past to the buildsystem and the testing framework broke

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 intended usecase where this serves as a hack there is no problem
with double/single quotes being present as we write it to a log file
only, but nowadays our calling of apt-key produces a temporary config
file containing this "setting" as well and suddently quoting is
important as the config file syntax is allergic to it.
So the fix is to ignore all quoting whatsoever in the input and just
quote (with singles) the option values with spaces. That gives us 99% of
the time the correct result and the 1% where the quote is an integral
element of the option … doesn't exist – or has bigger problems than a
log file not containing the quote. Same goes for newlines in values.

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...).

This hides errors in the test suite because it will exit
with 0 here. Instead, just do exit 1 in most traps, and
do just the cleanup in the QUIT hook.

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.

Unlikely that anyone is actually running into this, but if we asked to
not generate a cache and avoid it in the first step we shouldn't create
one implicitly anyway by displaying the statistics.

This prevents CI failures from happening in 1.3 and 1.2 and

Curl requires URLs to be urlencoded. We are however giving it
undecoded URLs. This causes it go completely nuts if there is
a space in the URI, producing requests like:
GET /a file HTTP/1.1
which the servers then interpret as a GET request for "/a" with
HTTP version "file" or some other non-sense.
This works around the issue by encoding the path component of
the URL. I'm not sure if we should encode other parts of the URL
as well, this one seems to do the trick for the actual issue at
hand.
A more correct fix is to avoid the dequoting and (re-)quoting
of URLs when a redirect occurs / a new request is sent. That's
been on the radar for probably a year or two now, but nobody
bothered implementing that yet.

Our implementation of wildcards was rudimentary. It worked for some
common ones, but it was also broken: For example, armel matched any-armel,
but should match any-arm.
With this commit, we load the correct tables from dpkg. Supported are
both triplets and quadruplet tables (the latter introduced in dpkg 1.18.11).
There are some odd things we have to deal with in the cache filter for
historical and API reasons:
* The character "*" must be accepted as an alternative to any - in fact
it may appear anywhere in the wildcard as we also allow fnmatch() style
wildcard matching on the commandline.
* The code might get passed an arch with a minus at the end, for example
the cmdline "install apt:any-arm-" will first try to check if any-arm-
is a valid architecture. We deal with this by rejecting any wildcard
ending in a minus.
* Triplets are actually implemented by extending them to faux quadruplets
- by prepending a "base" component for the architecture tuple, and "any"
if there is a wildcard component.
Once we have constructed a wildcard, it is transformed into an fnmatch()
expression for historical reasons. In the future, we should really get a
tuple class and implement matching in a better, more explicit way.
This does for now though - it passes all the test cases and accepts all
things it should accept.

Run the test for kfreebsd-i386 and amd64 and pass "amd64" as
an additional argument to the function. This tests that the
argument is used and thus ParseDepends returns the amd64
results even on a different architecture like i386.

The idea is simple: Each¹ Find*( call starts with a call check if the
given option (with the requested type) exists in the whitelist. The
whitelist is specified via our configure-index file so that we have
a better chance at keeping it current. the whitelist is loaded via a
special (undocumented for now) configuration stanza and if none is
loaded the empty whitelist will make it so that no warnings are shown.
Much needs to be done still, but that is as good a time as any to take a
snapshot of the current state and release it into the wild given that it
found some bugs already and has no practical effect on users.

Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for
that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not
about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which
tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via
low-level forced dpkg calls.
Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is
nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb".
And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed
to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future
and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run
interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we
can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user.

The config list APT::Build-Essential gets a similar treatment to other
lists now by having the value of the option itself be an override for
the list allowing to disable build-essentials entirely as well as
adding/overriding as usual by now in other lists.

The implementation is quite different compared to --arch-only due to ABI

The crude way of preparing a message to be a multiline value failed at
generation valid deb822 in case the error message ended with a new line
like the resolving errors from apt do. apt itself can parse these, but
other tools like grep-dctrl choke on it, so be nice and print valid.

Clearsigned files like InRelease, .dsc, .changes and co can potentially
include unsigned or additional messages blocks ignored by gpg in
verification, but a potential source of trouble in our own parsing
attempts – and an unneeded risk as the usecases for the clearsigned
files we deal with do not reasonably include unsigned parts (like emails
or some such).
This commit changes the silent ignoring to warnings for now to get an
impression on how widespread unintended unsigned parts are, but
eventually we want to turn these into hard errors.

Importing a new secret key into gpg(2) can be increadibly slow which

That was the case already for tar-only and diff-only, but in a more
confusing way and without a message while dsc "worked" before resulting
in a dpkg-source error shortly after as tar/diff files aren't available…

The test test-handle-redirect-as-used-mirror-change serves multiple
clients at the same time, so the order of the output is undefined and
once in a while the two clients will intermix their lines causing the
grep we perform on it later to fail making our tests fail.
Solved by introducing client-specific logfiles which we all grep and
sort the result to have the results more stable.

Having binary files in /etc is kinda annoying – not that the armored
files are much better – but it is hard to keep tabs on which format the
file has ("simple" or "keybox") and different gnupg versions have
different default binary formats which can be confusing for users to
work with (beside that it is binary).
Adding support for this now will enable us in some distant future to
move to armored later on, much like we added trusted.gpg.d years before
the world picked it up.

dpkg stumbles over these (#844300) and we haven't dropped 'easier'
removes to be implicit and to be scheduled by dpkg by default so far
so we shouldn't push the decision in such cases to dpkg either.
|
|
Our old idea was to look for the first package which would be "touched"
and take this as the package dpkg is talking about, but that is
incorrect in complicated situations like a package upgraded to/from
multiple M-A:same siblings installed.
As we us the progress report to decide what is still needed we have to
be reasonabily right about the package dpkg is talking about, so we jump
to quite a few loops to get it.
|
|
Given that we use the progress information to skip over actions dpkg has
already done like not purging a package which was already removed and
had no config files or not acting on disappeared packages and such it is
important that apt and dpkg agree on which states the package has to
pass through.
To ensure that we keep tabs on this in the future a warning is added at
the end if apt hasn't seen all the action it was supposed to see. I
can't wait for the first bugreporters to wonder about this…

This also changes Acquire-By-Hash to be "yes" rather than "true", so it

We have the last Release file around for other checks, so its trivial to
look if the new Release file contains a new codename (e.g. the user has
"testing" in the sources and it flipped from stretch to buster).
Such a change can be okay and expected, but also be a hint of problems,
so a warning if we see it happen seems okay. We can only print it once
anyhow and frontends and co are likely to ignore/hide it.
|
|
A suite or codename entry in the Release file is checked against the
distribution field in the sources.list entry that lead to the download of that
Release file. This distribution entry can contain slashes in the distribution
field:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian wheezy/updates main
However, the Release file may only contain "wheezy" in the Codename field and
not "wheezy/updates". So a transformation needs to take place that removes the
last / and everything that comes after (e.g. "/updates"). This fails, however,
for valid cases like a reprepro snapshot where the given Codename contains
slashes but is perfectly fine and doesn't need to be transformed. Since that
transformation is essentially just a workaround for special cases like the
security repository, it should be checked if the literal Codename without any
transformations happened is valid and only if isn't the dist should be checked
against the transformated one.
This way special cases like security.debian.org are handled and reprepro
snapshots work too.
The initial patch was taken as insperationto move whole transformation
to CheckDist() which makes this method more accepting & easier to use
(but according to codesearch.d.n we are the only users anyhow).

You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you
want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which
can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in
quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really
hurt much.
We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in
regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config
options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them,
similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s).

The 0.0.0.0:0 tor reports is pretty useless by itself, but even if an IP
would be reported it is better to show the user the hostname we wanted
the proxy to connect to in the same error message. We improve upon it
further by looking for this bind address in particular and remap error
messages slightly to give users a better chance of figuring out what
went wrong. Upstream Tor can't do that as it is technically wrong.

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.
