I'm uploading dpkg 1.4.1.15 right now, which is a major step in dpkg development. Thanks to the help of a lot of people (most noticable Ben Collins, who singlehandly tackled some nasty longstanding bugs) this upload should fix all major outstanding bugs, and a bunch of smaller ones as well. Please give it a good testing and be gentle with reporting bugs! For completeness, here is the changelog: dpkg (1.4.1.15) unstable; urgency=low * non-maintainer release. * Move dselect into its own package * Remove conffiles before directories when purging * Check if integrity from other packages will broken when processing an archive * dpkg-deb can handle package made with Linux ar. * Add check to update-alternatives to see if the sequencecode is between 0 and 99 * Fix failed assertion, which was actually two bugs: a logic error in checkforremoval and a wrong assumption in findbreakcycle * dselect doesn't die when you resize the terminal * check if a file is also in a new package before removing it when upgrading * offer to show a diff between the old and new conffile * dpkg-scanpackages: don't abort but only skip a package if we can't open it * Add HURD-support to start-stop-daemon * Reinstate patch to not read available when doing --list-files * Add a couple of --force options to handle changed conffiles -- Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> Thu, 14 Oct 1999 04:20:56 +0200 Wichert. -- ________________________________________________________________ / Generally uninteresting signature - ignore at your convenience \ | wichert@liacs.nl http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |
