Previously (and still in cacheset), patterns where only allowed to
start with ? or ~, which ignores the fact that a pattern might just
as well start with a negation, such a !~nfoo.
Also, we ignored the --regex flag if it looked like this, which
was somewhat bad.
Let's change this all:
* If --regex is given, arguments are always interpreted as regex
* If it is a valid package wildcard (name or * characters), then
it will be interpreted as a wildcard - this set of characters is
free from meaningful overlap with patterns.
* Otherwise, the argument is interpreted as a pattern.
For a future version, we need to adapt parsing for cacheset and
list to use a common parser, to avoid differences in their
interpretation. Likely, this code will go into the pattern parser,
such that it generates a pattern given a valid fnmatch argument
for example.
|
|
Reinstate * wildcards as they are safe to use, but do not allow any
other special characters such as ? or [].
Notably, ? would overlap with patterns, and [] might overlap with
future pattern extensions (alternative bracketing style), it's also
hard to explain.

Strange things happen if while resolving the dependencies of a package
said dependencies want to remove the package. The allow-scores test e.g.
removed the preferred alternative in favor of the last one now that they
were exclusive. In our or-group for Recommends we would "just" not
statisfy the Recommends and for Depends we engage the ProblemResolver…
|
|
In normal upgrade scenarios this is no problem as the orgroup member
will be marked for upgrade already, but on a not fully upgraded system
(or while you operate on a different target release) we would go with our
usual "first come first serve" approach which might lead us to install
another provider who comes earlier – bad if the providers conflict.
|
|
If a package is protected and has a dependency satisfied only by a single
package (or conflicts with a package) this package must be part of the
solution and so we can help later actions not exploring dead ends by
propagating the protected flag to these "pseudo-protected" packages.
An (obscure) bug this can help prevent (to some extend) is shown in
test-apt-never-markauto-sections by not causing irreversible autobit
transfers.
As a sideeffect it seems also to help our crude ShowBroken to display
slightly more helpful messages involving the packages which are actually
in conflict.

We do pretty much the same in IsInstallOk, but here we have already set
the state, so we have to unroll the state as well to sort-of replicate
the state we were in before this MarkInstall failed.
|
|
MarkInstall only looks at the first alternative in an or-group which has
a fighting chance of being satisfiable (= the package itself satisfies
the dependency, if it is installable itself is not considered).
This is "hidden" for Depends by the problem resolver who will try
another member of the or-group later, but Recommends are not a problem
for it, so for them the alternatives are never further explored.
Exploring the or-group in MarkInstall seems like the better choice for
both types as that frees the problem resolver to deal with the hard
things like package conflicts.
|
|
We reseted the candidate for installed packages back to the version
which is installed if one of the (critical) dependencies of it is not
statisfiable, but we can do the same for non-installed packages by
discarding the candidate which beside slightly helping the resolver also
improves error messages generated by apt as a sideeffect.

While merging apt-pkg and apt-inst libraries the codepath of handling
deb files in apt-pkg was adapted to use the 'old' code from apt-inst
instead of fork&exec of dpkg-deb -I. The information we get this way
forms the main part of the package stanza, but we add a few
semi-optional fields to the stanza to make it look and work more
like a stanza we got from a repository.
Just be careful with the area where these two parts touch as if,
hypothetically, we would stip all newlines around the parts,
but forget to add a newline between them later, the two lines around
the merge would stick a bit too close together forming one which could
result in fun parsing errors if this merged line was previously e.g. a
well-formed Depends line and has now extra fluff attached.
This codepath has a history with too many newlines (#802553) though,
so how likely is it really that it will some day lack one you may ask.

Packages from third-party sources do not always follow the established
patterns of more properly maintained archives. In that case it was a
driver package for a scanner&printer device which has only a minimum of
info attached, but also minimal non-installed packages do not include
sections, so we really shouldn't assume their availability.

No sensible file should include these, but even insensible files do not
gain unfair advantages with it as this parser does not deal with
security critical files before they haven't passed other checks like
signatures or hashsums.
The problem is that the parser accepts and parses empty tag names
correctly, but does not store the data parsed which will effect later
passes over the data resulting e.g. in the following tag containing
the name and value of the previous (empty) tag, its own tagname and its
own value or a crash due to an attempt to access invalid memory
depending on who passes over the data and what is done with it.
This commit fixes both, the incidient of the crash reported by
Anatoly Trosinenko who reproduced it via apt-sortpkgs:
| $ cat /tmp/Packages-null
| 0:
| PACKAGE:0
|
| :
| PACKAGE:
|
| PACKAGE::
| $ apt-sortpkgs /tmp/Packages-null
and the deeper parsing issue shown by the included testcase.

Remove all code scheduled to be removed after 5.90, and fix
files to include files they previously got from hashes.h
including more headers.

This experiment did not turn out sensibly, as some servers do not
accept credentials when none are expected and fail, so you cannot
mirror such a repository.
This reverts commit c2b9b0489538fed4770515bd8853a960b13a2618.

we have to stop parsing on space so that things like ~ramd64 | ~rall
work correctly.
aptitude does not stop parsing on ?, but we'll do as it gets very
confusing otherwise if you write stuff like ~ramd64?name(foo), and
it resolves to ?and(?architecture(amd64?name), (foo))...

This changes the syntax from approximately
expr = unary
unary = '!'? primary
primary = pattern | short-pattern | word | quoted-word
pattern = '?' name [ '(' expr [',' expr]* ')' ]
short-pattern = ~ name | ~name expr
to:
primary = pattern | short-pattern
argument = word | quoted-word | expr
pattern = '?' name [ '(' argument [',' argument]* ')' ]
short-pattern = ~ name | ~name argument
|
|
|
|
Also make pattern detector in cacheset and private's list accept
such patterns. We probably should just try to parse and see if it
is a (start of a) pattern.
|
|
Since we append a concrete kernel version to each pattern, and then
anchor the pattern, let's just pick any package starting with a
kernel name (linux-, kfreebsd-, gnumach-), and not worry about
linux-headers, linux-tools, etc specifically, as they'll be caught
by the generic pattern.

APT 1.9.6 introduced empty groups by making use of groups to
deduplicate package names. This is not normally a problem, but
here we assumed that every group has at least one package.
This caused a problem because automake was providing automake-1.16
while having the source package automake-1.16. So we found the
automake-1.16 group, iterated over its empty package list, trying
to store the provides (which hence never happened).

apt(8): Disable regular expressions and fnmatch

This is the first step. Next step will be to add warnings to
apt-get and then remove support there as well.

Commit 93f33052de84e9aeaf19c92291d043dad2665bbd restricted auth.conf
entries to only apply to https by default, but this was silent - there
was no information why http sources with auth.conf entries suddenly
started failing. Add such information, and extend test case to cover
it.

We missed that because the CI never ran GTests, because it did
not find the GTest library and failed silently (until the previous
commit).
|
|
Require passing -DWITH_TESTS=OFF to CMakeList to disable
unit tests, rather than ignoring them if GTest cannot be
found; which just happened on CI...

apt satisfy "" caused a segmentation fault because we were iterating
over the characters, checking if the next character was the end of
the string; when it could also be the current character.
Instead, check whether the next character is before the end of
the string, rather than identical to the end.

This avoids downgrade attacks where an attacker could inject
Location: http://private.example/
and then (having access to raw data to private.example, for example,
by opening a port there, or sniffing network traffic) read the credentials
for the private repository.

While passing the combi Release and Release.gpg to the gpgv method for
verification the filename of Release is placed where usually Release.gpg
is assumed in the rest of the code. The "usual" cases like passing
verification and failing verification ending in an error are taking care
of this, but the code path dealing with a failed verification, but
ignoring said failure (e.g. due to trusted=yes) was not which results in
the wrong file being removed later on (in case the index happens to be
unmodified since the last update call) leading us into the abyss of
strange failures (fixed in the previous commit) were nothing should have
changed.
This is not a security issue in this form as the repository needs to fail
verification & the user forcing apt to ignore the failure and carry on
anyhow. It does show however how complicated the code and its various
interconnected paths can become.

If we have no old Release file, but old indices we can't compare
hashsums with the new Release file and hence must request the indices
again and have to react to IMS hits if they didn't change.
We used to symlink the old index file to the partial directory, but that
usually meant that we linked an uncompressed file to a compressed file,
which not all uncompressors can deal with transparently resulting in
strange failures.
We could do without the symlink, but that would require changes in the
codepaths dealing with failure as they would rename the file to FAILED.

Skipped tests do not age very well as changes to the infrastructure go
by unnoticied. In this case we are fetching Translation files now
differently meaning only if mentioned in Release file, which broke this
test. As it makes use of LC_ALL and utf8 locales it can't really be
reenabled, but it might be able to serve as an example for others and
hence at least deserves being fixed.

When multiple translations of package descriptions are available,
perform search in all of them. It allows using search patterns in
any of the configured languages.
Previously, only the first available translation was searched. As
the result, patterns in e.g. English never matched packages which
had their descriptions translated into local language.

GTest 1.9 uses a variable defined in the parent directory, thus
failing to configure. Configure the project in the parent directory
instead.

Using --force-depends causes dpkg to continue removing packages
a package depends upon even if that package fails to be removed,
because dpkg turns off all sanity checks. So we gotta tell dpkg
to stop immediately if there's an error removing stuff.

This matches any package that does not have versions.

The ?exact-name pattern matches the name exactly, there is
no substring matching going on, or any regular expression
or fnmatch magic.
