Debian package development tools
This package provides the development tools (including dpkg-source)
required to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.
.
Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build;
for example, most packages need make and the C compiler gcc.
(new) dpkg_1.16.1.1~bpo60+2.dsc required admin

Dpkg perl modules
This package provides the perl modules used by the scripts
in dpkg-dev. They cover a wide range of functionalities. Among them
there are the following modules:
.
- Dpkg::Arch: manipulate Debian architecture information
- Dpkg::BuildOptions: parse and manipulate DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
- Dpkg::Changelog: parse Debian changelogs
- Dpkg::Checksums: generate and parse checksums
- Dpkg::Compression::Process: wrapper around compression tools
- Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle: transparently (de)compress files
- Dpkg::Control: parse and manipulate Debian control information
(.dsc, .changes, Packages/Sources entries, etc.)
- Dpkg::Deps: parse and manipulate dependencies
- Dpkg::ErrorHandling: common error functions
- Dpkg::Index: collections of Dpkg::Control (Packages/Sources files for
example)
- Dpkg::IPC: spawn sub-processes and feed/retrieve data
- Dpkg::Substvars: substitute variables in strings
- Dpkg::Vendor: identify current distribution vendor
- Dpkg::Version: parse and manipulate Debian package versions
.
All the packages listed in Suggests or Recommends are used by some of the
modules.
Changes: dpkg (1.16.1.1~bpo60+2) squeeze-backports; urgency=low
.
* Only build dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as discussed with the backports
team: http://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2011/11/msg00030.html
* Revert usage of po4a --srcdir --destdir since the squeeze version
does not work as expected (it fails with “The 'deb.5' master file does
not exist.” since the switch to srcdir happens too late in the code,
the wheezy version does not have this problem).
.
dpkg (1.16.1.1~bpo60+1) squeeze-backports; urgency=low
.
* Rebuild for squeeze-backports.

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-source to not ignore the automatic patch when checking
for unrecorded changes. Closes: #643148
* Let dpkg-source --commit create debian/patches when required.
Closes: #643037
* Fix dpkg-buildflags --dump to return 0 as exit code and not 1.
* Update dpkg-buildflags(1) to not include quotes in the examples
setting DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
* Stop outputting build flags in dpkg-buildpackage as it confuses
maintainers who are overriding them in debian/rules and who
are not seeing the expected value in the build log.
* Fix trigger setup code to not reset the status of packages
when they are in a status different from triggers-awaited,
triggers-pending or installed. Closes: #644492
* Fix dpkg-source to ignore changes on debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied
when building a "2.0" source package. Closes: #642656
* Fix buildflags.mk to re-export the environment variables that
the maintainer can use to change the build flags. Closes: #644412
.
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Change dpkg-buildflags to set preprocessor option -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
in CPPFLAGS, instead of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Closes: #642521, #643632
* Fix typo to correctly set DEB_*_ARCH_BITS instead of DEB_*_ARCH in
architecture.mk. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>.
* Make dpkg-buildflags disable full relro (bindnow) if relro is not enabled.
.
dpkg (1.16.1) unstable; urgency=low

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Dpkg::Deps: Implement new "reset" method and bump module version to 1.01
due to this.
* Improved description of --search in dpkg-query(1). Closes: #621066
Thanks to Lars Buitinck <larsmans@gmail.com> for the patch.
* Let update-alternatives fsync() its administrative files before
moving them in place to avoid empty files with some filesystems.
LP: #344019
* Tighten the regexp used by dpkg-source to ignore the .pc directory of
quilt. Thanks to Mike Hommey for noticing the problem.
* Change behaviour of dpkg-source's --extend-diff-ignore to also
extend the current diff-ignore if it has already been set.
* Fix dependency checking code to consider a dependency on a virtual
package provided by a package in triggers-pending status as satisfied.
* Do not fail when encountering a pre-dependency in triggers-awaited state,
instead process the awaited triggers. Closes: #526774
* "any" no longer hides "all" in the Architecture field of a .dsc.
* Fix dpkg --remove to really remove the triggers from the various
internal files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/triggers/. Closes: #525160
* Avoid a perl warning in dpkg-gensymbols when no symbols file has been
generated (because it would have been empty). Closes: #626684
* Re-enable the Package-List field but drop the Architecture column since we
have no clear use case yet. It can always be added later on.
Also drop the source line since it duplicates other fields.
Closes: #619131
* Add the extraction part of Dpkg::Source::Package to the supported API.
Useful to extract source packages without having to depend on dpkg-source
(and hence dpkg-dev).
* Add the Dpkg::Vendor module to the supported API. Useful for lintian
when dpkg-dev is absent.
* Check presence of required parameters in dpkg-vendor. Closes: #628726
Thanks to Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for the patch.
* Avoid a Perl warning in dpkg-buildflags when HOME is not set.
Closes: #635467
* dpkg-source can now also use debian/source/local-patch-header (that is not
included in the generated source package) instead of
debian/source/patch-header. Closes: #629582
* Changed dpkg-source --after-build to automatically unapply patches that it
has applied during --before-build.
* Fix two possible causes for the assertion failure "pigp->trigpend_head".
LP: #798793, #424358 Closes: #560251
* Use "special" instead of "particular" to qualify the "3.0 (custom)" format
in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #631435
* Add some supplementary checks to ensure debian/control has the required
fields. Closes: #631439
* dpkg-gensymbols(1): document syntax of comments. Closes: #630996
* Allow empty lines in symbols files to better delimit multiple libraries.
Thanks to Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> for the patch.
* dpkg: if "prerm upgrade" fails when downgrading, do not try to run
"prerm failed-upgrade" with the prerm of the oldest prerm, it can't work
around a bug of a newer prerm anyway.
* dpkg: support new "interest-noawait" and "activate-noawait" trigger
directives.
* dpkg-buildflags(1): make it clear that DEB_*_(SET|APPEND) environment
variables are meant for users and should not be used by packages.
* update-alternatives: do not allow to reuse a slave link in another
slave alternative. Closes: #631547
* Improve dpkg-source's logic to identify ignored files. Closes: #632168
* Fix a small typo in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #632937
* Reword the description of dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build
to be clearer. Closes: #608260
* dpkg-buildpackage no longer exports the compiler flags. Closes: #560070
Packages must directly call dpkg-buildflags to retrieve them.
* dpkg-buildflags supports a prepend command to modify the build
flags. Particularly useful for package maintainers who don't want
their supplementary flags to take precedence over user submitted
flags.
* Add new --dump action to dpkg-buildflags and make it the default action.
Closes: #603435
* dpkg-mergechangelogs now checks the return value of the close() call.
Thanks to Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for the patch. Closes: #633539
* Similar changes to dpkg-shlibdeps and dpkg-gencontrol, also by Niels.
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove a real file when dropping a
symlink for a slave that's not provided by the new current choice.
Closes: #633627
* Improve dpkg-source's error message complaining about the lack
of the upstream tarball. Closes: #634510
* Add some common makefile snippets for use in rules files in
/usr/share/dpkg/: default.mk, architecture.mk, buildflags.mk, pkg-info.mk,
vendor.mk Closes: #606839
* Fix the dpkg-divert test-suite to also skip test that would fail if run
under root. Closes: #634961
* Change merge conflict separators created by dpkg-mergechangelogs to match
the usual norm of being composed of 7 characters. LP: #815700
* With source format 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt), dpkg-source now fails by default
when upstream changes have not been recorded in a quilt patch. The new
--commit operation can be used to properly record the changes before-hand.
LP: #797839
And it fails before installing the automatic patch in debian/patches/
Closes: #615899
* dpkg-buildflags now supports "--export=configure" to output compilation
flags on a single line with double quotes as delimiter of the various
values. It also uses DEB_<flag>_MAINT_<op> to let the maintainer
extend the build flags to use. Last but not least, it can now also strip
options from the returned build flags.
* Fix possible segfault of dpkg in findbreakcycle(). LP: #733414
* dpkg-source now properly cleans up the temporary tarball generated for
native formats in case of unexpected interruption. Closes: #631494
* Fix simplification logic of union dependencies. Closes: #637564
* Fix dpkg's handling of a hardlink pointing to a conffile. Closes: #638291
* Add example of extend-diff-ignore's usage in dpkg-source(1).
Closes: #640198
* dpkg-buildflags now returns hardening flags by default. Closes: #489771
They can be individually enabled/disabled via DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS,
see dpkg-buildflags(1). Thanks to Kees Cook for his help.
.
[ Guillem Jover ]

* Add ‘.gitmodules’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists. Closes: #620490
* Document in dpkg-query(1) man page that on --listfiles each list of
files per package name is separated by a blank line. Same goes for
--status and --print-avail.
* Use execvp(3) unconditionally in command_exec(). Making the call always
fallback to use the system shell in case of error, such as with empty
maintainer scripts. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>.
Closes: #622094
* Improve deb-split(5) format description by splitting debian-split
member contents into a list.
* Switch to debhelper compatibility level 7.
- Use dh_prep instead of deprecated “dh_clean -k”.

* Generate filenames following current conventions on “dpkg-split --join”,
by including the architecture in the debian-split member of a split
package and using underscores to separate filename parts.

from dpkg which were being treated as dpkg commands.
* Remove reference to --nocheck dpkg-deb option from dpkg man page as
the latter does not pass it to the former.
* Clarify the current dpkg behaviour when running the dpkg-deb and
dpkg-query back-ends, of not passing through back-end specific options
when running them from dpkg. Closes: #610940
* Use “unselected” as an adjective in dpkg output messages instead of
“deselected”. Closes: #231089
* Clarify exit status in dpkg-split and start-stop-daemon --help output.

* Add a --status command to start-stop-daemon returning LSB Init Script
status action exit codes.
* Add start-stop-daemon process name kernel limits for Solaris, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Darwin.
* On package removal, keep only directories actually containing conffiles,
and not directories just matching the substring in the conffile or the
directory itself. Thanks to Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>.
* On purge correctly remove symlinks acting as directories, when they are
not being used by any other package's files.
* Do not lose track of parent directories on removal so that they can
be properly cleaned up on purge if not used by any other package.
Based on a patch by Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>. Closes: #454694

dpkg-gencontrol to get consistent results independent of build system.
Thanks to Ludovic Brenta <ludovic@ludovic-brenta.org>. Closes: #630533
* Do not fail to unpack shared directories missing on the file system
from packages being replaced by other packages. Closes: #631808
* Do not require programs to define thisname, provide two new functions
to handle the program name (dpkg_set_progname and dpkg_get_progname).
Closes: #631757
* Man pages cleanup:
- Rename “USAGE” dselect(1) section to “ACTIONS” and clarify they can
be performed interactively or from command line.
- Add missing built-in methods to dselect(1).
- Add missing escaping to field dashes in deb-control(5).
- Use dashes instead of underscores for variable text.

- Fix reference to /etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg.d instead of dpkg.cfg.d in
dselect(1).
- Add missing optional group|gid --chuid argument in start-stop-daemon(8).
* Refer to Sources and Packages files as part of a repository instead of
as being of exclusive use or owned by APT, which has never been the case.
* Unify somewhat dpkg-maintscript-helper --help output with other commands.

Closes: #293280
* Add new --raw-extract option to dpkg-deb combining --control and
--extract. Closes: #552123
* Defer hardlink renames so that there's never a point were the new
file contents are accessible from the final path before they have
been fsync()ed and cannot be executed causing ETXTBSY when trying
to open the to be installed paths for writing.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>. Closes: #635683
* Clarify the default dpkg-deb compression-levels on the man page.
* Clarify dpkg --update-avail usage error message. Closes: #628055
* Change Dpkg::Compression default values depending on the compressor
used, and as such dpkg-source inherits this functionality.
Prompted by Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors@iki.fi>.
* Print an actual error or warning message instead of assert()ing on
readlink()/stat() size discrepancies. Closes: #639229
* Update alternative links only if they change. This allows for a
read-only file system and a writable database. Closes: #636700
Based on a patch by Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>.

Closes: #639997
* Do not warn on strange timestamps when unpacking with dpkg-deb.
Closes: #640298

it does not end up pulling triglib.
* Reduce dpkg-deb binary size by refectoring libdpkg modules so that it
does not end up pulling triglib.

Existing packages with invalid versions should not fail on their
maintainer scripts due to that.
* Use the user name (instead of the user id) when setting the supplementary
groups in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #641834

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Use DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE environment variable as package name on
dpkg-divert when no --package or --local options have been specified.
* Do not allow versions starting with non-digit when doing strict parsing,
warn otherwise.
* Update dpkg(1) to note that --status-fd output does not contain newlines
in error messages anymore (this was fixed in 1.15.0).
* Add a new --status-logger option to dpkg, similar to --status-fd but
instead invoke the command ourselves and feed the status information
to its standard input. Suggested by Raphaël Hertzog.
* Add missing space in update-alternative --set-selections output.
* Add missing options to update-alternative --help output.
* Count “conffile name is duplicated” for dpkg-deb warning count summary.
* Improve and clarify strings for translation. Closes: #604914
* Prefix all fatal error messages with “error: ”.
* Do not check presence of update-rc.d in the PATH in dpkg, as it's not
a program needed for dpkg correct operation.
* Fix dpkg -GEO options on multiple versions of the same packages.
Closes: #31141
* Propagate --admindir to programs run from maintainer scritpts.
Closes: #97076
* Do not fail when trying to remove the root directory. This will only
happen either on distributions where dpkg is a foreign package manager,
or on artificial dpkg databases.
* Always warn when parsing any package control data which does not have
an Architecture field except for status and status log files when
packages are not-installed or half-installed.
* By default reject installing packages w/o an Architecture field. They
now need --force-architecture, dpkg will still warn about them though.
* Fix build failure when passing --disable-nls to configure.
* Do not segfault on “dpkg -i --no-act”.
* Add missing semicolon to the vsnprintf() compat declaration.
Thanks to Robert Millan. Closes: #612203
* On install for Ubuntu adjust the i386 GNU cpu name in cputable.
Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>. Closes: #611741
* Sync the info database directory on unpack instead of the temporary
control information directory, and print the correct pathname on error
instead of the last file acted on that directory.
* Document in dpkg-query --help output and man page that --list and --show
arguments are optional.
* Do not read and write the available file unnecessarily.
Thanks to Michel Lespinasse <walken@zoy.org>. Closes: #397121
* Fix typo in «dpkg-name --overwrite» argument parsing so that it actually
works at all. Thanks to Ivan Gagis <igagis@gmail.com>. LP: #728708
* Add armhf support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #594179
* Set the modification time for unpacked symlinks on supported systems.
* Fix undefined value usage in dpkg-genchanges when adding files w/o a
matching architecture, because they are not present in debian/control,
this is most commonly the case due to dpkg-distaddfile.
* Terminate immediately on dpkg-divert rename errors instead of propagating
up the error codes, this improves error reporting and avoids triggering
leak detectors. Closes: #620380
* When moving a diverted file across filesystems in dpkg-divert, remove
the source file.
* Fix large file support for .deb and split .deb in dpkg-deb, dpkg-split
and dpkg on 32-bit architectures.

Thanks to Oxan van Leeuwen <oxan@oxanvanleeuwen.nl> who wrote it
as part of the Google Code In program.

--control-path.
* Update dpkg-shlibdeps to be multiarch-ready:
- use get_control_path() to find symbols/shlibs files
- parse correctly the output of dpkg --search
* Small fix to support files >2GB in .deb on 64-bit systems. Closes: #616502
Thanks to Martin Dorey <mdorey@bluearc.com> for the patch.
* dpkg-source now keeps the file ordering in the autogenerated patch when
regenerating it. Closes: #606080
Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
* dpkg-source now uses a timestamp retrieved from the filesystem when
resetting the timestamp of patched files so that a time skew when using
NFS doesn't introduce any inconsistency. Closes: #613023
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> for the patch and the
diagnosis.
* dpkg-source will now remove quilt's .pc directory when --unapply-patches
is in use. Closes: #591858
* dpkg-source is now a bit less strict when parsing patches:
- it accepts seeing the same file twice; Closes: #608829
- it doesn't match on the English text "No newline at end of file" as it
might be translated in some cases. Closes: #612465
* Improve parser in Dpkg::Control::Hash to not require an empty line
before the PGP signature. Closes: #617923
Thanks to Roger Leigh for the initial patch.
* Fix a regression in dpkg-divert where using --rename led to a failure when
the rename implies crossing file systems. Thanks to Durk Strooisma for
spotting it.
