2015-11-04tests: change test-skipping detection for arch-specific pkgsDavid Kalnischkies
dpkg-checkbuilddeps changed its exitcodes in the recent past so the old check always fails now skipping the test. Lets try a slightly more stable (at least assume it to be) variant of detecting this. See also 4f6d26b4d41474aa390329b7e9cb167eb70b2821. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-11-04allow all dpkg selections to be set via apt-mark and libaptDavid Kalnischkies
As we have support for 'hold', we need support for undoing a hold which in effect means that we implemented most other states as well, just that they weren't exposed in the interface directly so far.
2015-11-04provide public interface to hold/unhold packagesDavid Kalnischkies
We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.

2015-10-30Provide tests for thread-safetyJulian Andres Klode
These scripts currently produce HTML output that is directly piped into an HTML file on alioth. There are three categories. The first two check external library calls to use the ones specified by POSIX to be thread-safe. The main profile excludes functions that are thread-safe on Linux or glibc in general, while the portable output strictly follows posix. The internal.html output lists internal function calls, such as configuration setting. This is supposed to be automated further at some point, so we can automatically check for regressions.
2015-10-30cacheset: Fix compilation on new GCC in C++98 modeJulian Andres Klode
Since gcc 4.9, the API for erase slightly changed. In commit 3dddcdf2432e78f37c74d8c76c2c519a8d935ab2 the existing checks for __cplusplus where changed to check the gcc version, as the __cplusplus check did nothing, because gcc 4.8 already provided the standard value in there. Fix the code to check for the gcc version in two more places, and change the existing checks to use a convenience macro.
2015-09-15tests: add a -j $jobs mode to test runner for parallel executionDavid Kalnischkies
Now that tests can be run in parallel, lets actually do it… The mode has some downsides like not collecting the failed tests, but it can be a lot faster than a sequential run and is therefore a good alternative in testing those "this shouldn't break anything" changes (which tend to break everything if untested).

2015-09-15tests: don't use hardcoded port for http and httpsDavid Kalnischkies
This allows running tests in parallel. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14fallback to well-known URI if by-hash failsDavid Kalnischkies
We uses a small trick to implement the fallback: We make it so, that by-hash is a special compression algorithm and apt already knows how to deal with fallback between compression algorithms. The drawback with implementing this fallback is that a) we are guessing again and more importantly b) by-hash is only tried for the first compression algorithm we want to acquire, not for all as before – but flipping between by-hash and well-known for each compression algorithm seems to be not really worth it as it seems unlikely that there will actually be mirrors who only mirror a subset of compressioned files, but have by-hash enabled. The user-experience is the usual fallback one: You see "Ign" lines in the apt update output. The fallback is implemented as a transition feature, so a (potentially huge) mirror network doesn't need a flagday. It is not meant as a "someday we might" or "we don't, but some of our mirrors might" option – we want to cut down on the 'Ign' lines front so that they become meaningful – if we wanted to spam everyone with them, we could enable by-hash by default for all repositories… sources.list and config options are better suited for this. Closes: 798919
2015-09-14add by-hash sources.list option and document all of by-hashDavid Kalnischkies
This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay.
2015-09-14tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies
Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14deal with spaces in path, command and filepaths in apt-keyDavid Kalnischkies
Filenames we get could include spaces, but also the tmpdir we work in and the failures we print in return a very generic and unhelpful… Properly supporting spaces is a bit painful as we constructed gpg command before, which is now moved to (multilevel) calls to temporary scripts instead.
2015-09-14tests: use SHA1 checksum only by default in testsDavid Kalnischkies
This is mostly a small speedup for the testcases, but it is also handy to document which tests actually deal with a specific hash compared to those which 'just' need some hash which can be important while adding new hashes. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-09-14various changes to increase test-coverageDavid Kalnischkies
And of course, testing obscure things ends up showing obscure 'bugs' or better shortcomings/inconsitencies, so lets fix them with the tests. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14implement apt-get source msg 'Please use: $vcs' for gitDavid Kalnischkies
A bit unfair that only Bzr had this message. Lets at least print it for git as well with the option of adding more later without string changes.
2015-09-14srv test: do 100 pulls twice and compare listDavid Kalnischkies
The previous implementation was still a bit unstable in terms of failing at times. Lets try if we have more luck with this one. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14tests: use more 'native' instead of 'amd64' if possibleDavid Kalnischkies
The tests usually run on amd64 boxes, but once in a while I run it on a (slow) armel box as well, which has its fair share of problems with some tests, but at least the low hanging fruits can be dealt with: Do not assume that amd64 is the native dpkg architecture – instead use whatever dpkg thinks is native as architecture for the test. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14avoid using global PendingError to avoid failing too often too soonDavid Kalnischkies
Our error reporting is historically grown into some kind of mess. A while ago I implemented stacking for the global error which is used in this commit now to wrap calls to functions which do not report (all) errors via return, so that only failures in those calls cause a failure to propergate down the chain rather than failing if anything (potentially totally unrelated) has failed at some point in the past. This way we can avoid stopping the entire acquire process just because a single source produced an error for example. It also means that after the acquire process the cache is generated – even if the acquire process had failures – as we still have the old good data around we can and should generate a cache for (again). There are probably more instances of this hiding, but all these looked like the easiest to work with and fix with reasonable (aka net-positive) effects.
2015-09-14do not discard new manual-bits while applying EDSP solutionsDavid Kalnischkies
In private-install.cc we call MarkInstall with FromUser=true, which sets the bit accordingly, but while applying the EDSP solution we call mark install on all packages with FromUser=false, so MarkInstall believes this install is an automatic one and sets it to auto – so that a new package which is explicitely installed via an external solver is marked as auto and is hence also up for garbage collection in a following call. Ideally MarkInstall wouldn't reset it, but the detection is hard to do without regressing in other cases – and ideally ideally MarkInstall wouldn't deal with the autobit at all – so we work around this on the calling side for now.
2015-09-14implement autobit and pinning in EDSP solver 'apt'David Kalnischkies
The parser creates a preferences as well as an extended states file based on the EDSP scenario file, which isn't the most efficient way of dealing with this as thes text files have to be parsed again by another layer of the code, but it needs the least changes and works good enough for now. The 'apt' solver is in the end just a test solver like dump.
2015-09-14select kernels to protect from autoremove based on Debian versionDavid Kalnischkies
This is basically a rewrite of the script with the general idea of finding the Debian version of the installed kernels – as multiple flavours will have the same Debian version – select the two newest of them and translate them back to versions found in package names. This way we avoid e.g. kernel and kernel-rt to use up the protected slots even through they are basically the same kernel (just a different flavour) so it is likely that if kernel doesn't work for some reason, kernel-rt will not either. This also deals with foreign kernel packages, kernels on hold and partly installed kernels (in case multiple kernels are installed in the same apt run) in a hopefully sensible way. Closes: 787827
2015-09-14fix insecure use of /tmp in EDSP solver 'dump'David Kalnischkies
As said in the bugreport, this is hardly a serious problem on a security front, but it was always on the list to have the filename configurable somehow and the stable filename is a problem for parallel executions. Using an environment variable (APT_EDSP_DUMP_FILENAME) for this is more or less the best we can do here as solvers do not get told about our configuration and such. Closes: 795600
2015-09-14add Source-Version field for EDSPDavid Kalnischkies
The syntax of "Source" is different in EDSP compared to the the field of the same name in 'the rest' of Debian, so documented this accordingly and send the version as a new field.
2015-09-14implement dpkgs vision of interpreting pkg:<arch> dependenciesDavid Kalnischkies
How the Multi-Arch field and pkg:<arch> dependencies interact was discussed at DebConf15 in the "MultiArch BoF". dpkg and apt (among other tools like dose) had a different interpretation in certain scenarios which we resolved by agreeing on dpkg view – and this commit realizes this agreement in code. As was the case so far libapt sticks to the idea of trying to hide MultiArch as much as possible from individual frontends and instead translates it to good old SingleArch. There are certainly situations which can be improved in frontends if they know that MultiArch is upon them, but these are improvements – not necessary changes needed to unbreak a frontend. The implementation idea is simple: If we parse a dependency on foo:amd64 the dependency is formed on a package 'foo:amd64' of arch 'any'. This package is provided by package 'foo' of arch 'amd64', but not by 'foo' of arch 'i386'. Both of those foo packages provide each other through (assuming foo is M-A:foreign) to allow a dependency on 'foo' to be satisfied by either foo of amd64 or i386. Packages can also declare to provide 'foo:amd64' which is translated to providing 'foo:amd64:any' as well. This indirection over provides was chosen as the alternative would be to teach dependency resolvers how to deal with architecture specific dependencies – which violates the design idea of avoiding resolver changes, especially as architecture-specific dependencies are a cornercase with quite a few subtil rules. Handling it all over versioned provides as we already did for M-A in general seems much simpler as it just works for them. This switch to :any has actually a "surprising" benefit as well: Even frontends showing a package name via .Name() [which doesn't show the architecture] will display the "architecture" for dependencies in which it was explicitely requested, while we will not show the 'strange' :any arch in FullName(true) [= pretty-print] either. Before you had to specialcase these and by default you wouldn't get these details shown. The only identifiable disadvantage is that this complicates error reporting and handling. apt-get's ShowBroken has existing problems with virtual packages [it just shows the name without any reason], so that has to be worked on eventually. The other case is that detecting if a package is completely unknown or if it was at least referenced somewhere needs to acount for this "split" – not that it makes a practical difference which error is shown… but its one of the improvements possible.

Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-09-14M-A: allowed pkgs of unconfigured archs do not statisfy :anyDavid Kalnischkies
We parse all architectures we encounter recently, which means we also parse packages from architectures which are neither native nor foreign, but still came onto the system somehow (usually via heavy force).
2015-09-14store ':any' pseudo-packages with 'any' as architectureDavid Kalnischkies
Previously we had python:any:amd64, python:any:i386, … in the cache and the dependencies of an amd64 package would be on python:any:amd64, of an i386 on python:any:i386 and so on. That seems like a relatively pointless endeavor given that they will all be provided by the same packages and therefore also a waste of space. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-09-07Set APT::FTPArchive::DoByHash to false by defaultMichael Vogt
"apt-ftparchive release" will create the by-hash files if this mode is enabled. This maybe unexpected by existing users so make it a opt-in. Git-Dch: ignore

This option is enabled via the APT::FTPArchive::DoByHash switch. It will also honor the option APT::FTPArchive::By-Hash-Keep that controls how many previous generation of by-hash files should be kept (defaults to 3). Merged from https://github.com/mvo5/apt/tree/feature/apt-ftparchive-by-hash

2015-09-01use clock() as source for SRV randomnessDavid Kalnischkies
Initializing a random number generator with the time since epoch could be good enough, but reaches its limits in test code as the 100 iterations might very well happen in the same second and hence the seed number is always the same… clock() has a way lower resolution so it changes more often and not unimportant: If many users start the update at the same time it isn't to unlikely the SRV record will be ordered in the same second choosing the same for them all, but it seems less likely that the exact same clock() time has passed for them. And if I have to touch this, lets change a few other things as well to make me and/or compilers a bit happier (clang complained about the usage of a GNU extension in the testcase for example).
2015-09-01use unusable-for-security hashes for integrity checksDavid Kalnischkies
We want to declare some hashes as not enough for security, so that a user will need --allow-unauthenticated or similar to get data secured only by those hashes, but we can still us these hashes for integrity checks if we got them.
2015-09-01Consider md5sum no longer a usable hashMichael Vogt
The md5sum hash is broken since some time and we should no longer consider it a usable hash. Also update the tests to reflect this.
2015-09-01improve CheckDropPrivsMustBeDisabled furtherDavid Kalnischkies

2015-08-31test: show the highlevel test for lowerranking onesDavid Kalnischkies
testsuccess checks the return code, but it does also some autotests based on the command like grepping for dpkg warnings in a apt-get install call – but if this finds something it is just showing the grep command. With this change it will additionally show the first msgtest which in this case will detail the actual apt-get install call. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-31tests: store msgtest in -q mode for display in msgfailDavid Kalnischkies
Not-quiet output is very verbose and with our growing array of tests generates many many lines which e.g. kills the log display in travis-ci and obscures failures and uncatched output in a wall of details. The -q mode fixed this by callapsing passed tests to a single P and now with some rework we can even get failures properly displayed with the message from msgtest. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-08-31do delay the test for http, too, to make it more reliableDavid Kalnischkies
The file method was already slowed down and somehow I thought I had done the same for http, but it turns out that I didn't. Giving it the same delay as file should help in making this test slower and therefore more likely to successfully test what it is supposed to test. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-31if file is inaccessible for _apt, disable privilege drop in acquireDavid Kalnischkies
We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change. As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if possible. Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in case you have to download some files with and some without you need to use two fetchers.
2015-08-30detect and deal with indextarget duplicatesDavid Kalnischkies
Multiple targets downloading the same file is bad™ as it leads us to all sorts of problems like the acquire system breaking or simply a problem of which settings to use for them. Beside that this is most likely a mistake and silently ignoring it doesn't help the user realizing his mistake… On the other hand, we have 'duplicates' which are 'created' by how we create indextargets, so we have to prevent those from being created to but do not emit a warning for them as this is an implementation detail. And then, there is the absolute and most likely user mistake: Having the same target(s) activated in multiple entries.
2015-08-29try xz instead of bz2 first for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies
xz has pretty much won "the compressor war" and e.g. the Debian archive doesn't even distribute bz2 anymore in favor of 'xz' and 'gz', so by changing the default order we have a more realistic --print-uris behavior as it will always show the first compressor. In practice this effects repositories without a Release file (very bad, we don't want to support them anymore anyhow) as xz will be tried before bz2 now [which is probably not available, but so might be bz2…] AND repositories which provide both, bz2 and xz (which isn't too common) in sofar as apt will now download xz instead of bz2. Users with special needs can stick with bz2 as first compressor tried with Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order:: "bz2"; (see man apt.conf) – but users with special needs usually prefer "gz" anyhow, so the realworld change is expected to be very low.
2015-08-29implement indextargets option 'DefaultEnabled'David Kalnischkies
Some targets like Contents-udeb are special-needs targets. Shipping the configuration snippet for them is okay, but they shouldn't be downloaded by default. Forcing the user to enable targets by uncommenting targets is wrong and this would still not really solve the problem completely as even if you want to download some -udebs it will probably not be for all sources you have enabled, so having the possibility of disabling a target by default, but giving the user the option to enable it on a per-source entry basis is better.
2015-08-28implement PDiff patching for compressed filesDavid Kalnischkies
Some additional files like 'Contents' are very big and should therefore kept compressed on the disk, which apt-file did in the past. It also implemented pdiff patching of these files by un- and recompressing these files on-the-fly, with this commit we can do the same – but we can do this in both pdiff patching styles (client and server merging) and secured by hashes. Hashes are in so far slightly complicated as we can't compare the hashes of the compressed files as we might compress them differently than the server would (different compressor versions, options, …), so we must compare the hashes of the uncompressed content. While this commit has changes in public headers, the classes it changes are marked as hidden, so nobody can use them directly, which means the ABI break is internal only.

2015-08-27Do not parse Status fields from remote sourcesJulian Andres Klode
This could allow an attacker to mark a package as installed in a remote package index, as long as the package was not listed in the dpkg status file. This way, an attacker could force the installation of a package during a dist-upgrade, by providing two packages in an index, an older marked as installed, and a newer - apt would "upgrade" to the newer version.
