As discussed on IRC.
--bod
13:35 <bod> hrm... wonder why I have /etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults as a symlink
13:35 <Overfiend> bod: old bug, fixed for a long time
13:36 <bod> Overfiend: the symlink is dated today (just upgraded stable+security)
13:36 <Overfiend> bod: what's your version of xlibs?
13:36 <Overfiend> 4.1.0-16woody1?
13:37 <bod> Version: 4.1.0-16woody1
13:37 <Overfiend> bod: Okay. Hmm.
13:37 <Overfiend> bod: checking on it. Maybe I can clean it up in 4.2.1/4.3.0's xlibs preinst
13:38 <bod> calc: killing imake would be annoying, there are a bunch of programs which use it
13:38 <Overfiend> xlibs.postinst.in:ln -sf /etc/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults || true
13:38 <Overfiend> bod: there's the bug
13:38 <Overfiend> bod: back then I didn't know about ln -nsf
13:39 <Overfiend> joeyh didn't either :)
13:39 <bod> I had to look the darned thing up just then :)
13:39 <Overfiend> bod: I don't know that there will ever be a non-security stable update of XFree86.
13:40 <Overfiend> bod: However, I can make 4.2.1/4.3.0 clean those up in the corresponding preinsts.
13:40 <Overfiend> bod: I don't do ln -sf anymore.
13:40 <bod> Overfiend: no biggy, just noticed it
13:40 <Overfiend> bod: can I ask you to file a normal bug about this?
13:40 <Overfiend> bod: just quoting this IRC chatter will suffice.
13:41 <bod> k
13:41 <Overfiend> bod: I need to go through branches/4.1.0/woody, identify all uses of ln -sf in the postinst, and have the modern preinst scripts clean that
13:42 <Overfiend> e.g., if [ "$1" = "install" -o "$1" = "upgrade" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "4.2.0"; then
13:42 <Overfiend> etc.
13:42 <Overfiend> that sort of thing
13:42 <Overfiend> because I think I started shipping the symlinks post-woody. That was my plan, anyway.
13:42 <Overfiend> yup.
13:43 <Overfiend> bod: I don't use ln -sf at *all* anymore for that purpose.

Changes:
xfree86 (4.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=high
.
* urgency high due to security fix for font service integer overflow attacks
and xdm's failure to verify return value of pam_setcred() (see below)
.
* debian/twm.menu-method: correctly escape doublequote characters in menu
entry titles (thanks, Bill Allombert) (Closes: #193759)
.
* debian/shell-lib.sh: font_update(): ignore requests to run xftcache on the
Speedo directory; it segfaults under certain circumstances that have never
been nailed down, and according to Juliusz Chrobocek, it's pointless to do
this anyway since the Xft library (and FreeType behind it) do not
understand Speedo-format fonts (Closes: #192138)
.
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in: pre-set a reasonable default for users
of the newport driver: depth 8 and resolution 1280x1024 (thanks, Bernhard
R. Link) (Closes: #208500)
.
* patch #097: new; add Bartosz Zapalowski's patch for supporting wheel mice
with large numbers of buttons; the ZAxisMapping option "pushes up" the
other buttons so that the mouse behaves sanely. This addresses problems
with how the X server parses wheel data from at least some devices that
use the ExplorerPS/2 protocol. (Closes: #166550)
.
* debian/control: remove build-dependency on libglide3-alpha-dev for alpha
architecture and add alpha-specific build-dependency on libglide3-dev
since Guillem Jover has merged the libglide3-alpha and libglide3 packages
(Closes: #209142)
.
* debian/control: xlibmesa3-gl now suggests the libglide3 package; updated
extended description explains why (Closes: #119297)
.
* debian/xserver-common.preinst.in: correct erroneous reference to debconf
template name
.
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: SECURITY: backport fix from CVS HEAD
+ CAN-2003-0730 (multiple integer overflows in the font libraries for
XFree86 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial
of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and
stack-based buffer overflow attacks)
+ Fix overflows in the test for integer overflows. Reported by Paul
Anderson.
.
* debian/xdm.prerm.in: clean up the old logic for deregistering the old
xdm-greeter alternative to only do so if upgrading from versions of the
package prior to 4.0.3 and that alternative is actually registered (see
bug #164021 for a similar issue with another package)
.
* debian/shell-lib.sh: various enhancements;
- Use special abnormal exit codes so that problems with this library are
more easily tracked down.
- Abort if the variables $THIS_PACKAGE or $THIS_SCRIPT are not defined, so
that we can do better error reporting.
- errormsg(): report package and script name in error messages
- internal_errormsg(): report package name, script name, and package
version in error message; also, tell people about reportbug
- usage_errormsg(): new; basically a version of internal_errormsg() that
doesn't care if the package was an unofficial build or not
- find_culprits(): exit with status $SHELL_LIB_THROWN_ERROR instead of 1
when packages obstructing an upgrade are found
- remove_conffile_prepare(), remove_conffile_commit(),
remove_conffile_rollback(): new functions to handle the obsoletion of
conffiles across upgrades; remove_conffile_prepare() can handle both old
dpkg (pre-1.10) and new md5sum command behavior (Closes: #152920)
- debugmsg(): new function to support debugging messages in the maintainer
scripts
- safe_debconf(): new function to run debconf confmodule commands
defensively (but which we expect to succeed nevertheless)
.
* debian/local/Xstartup: a bit of cleanup;
- quote all shell variables
- tighten up /etc/nologin conditionals to work the same but be less
redundant
- don't try to use xmessage if it's not in the path
- don't display the /etc/nologin file if it is zero-length
.
* Drop the /etc/X11/xdm/{Xreset,Xsetup} conffiles.
- They can no longer cause problems with xconsole running on multiple
servers. (Closes: #128338)
- debian/MANIFEST.*: drop files from MANIFEST
- debian/local/xdm.README.Debian: stop mentioning no-longer-shipped
Xreset and Xsetup conffiles
- debian/local/xdm.options.5: update wording to reflect fact that Xreset
and Xsetup are no longer part of the package
- debian/local/xdm/{Xreset,Xsetup}: deleted
- debian/xdm.install: drop files from package
- debian/xdm.preinst.in: use remove_conffile_prepare()
- debian/xdm.postinst.in: use remove_conffile_commit()
- debian/xdm.postrm.in: use remove_conffile_rollback()
.
* debian/xbase-clients.preinst.in: a bit of cleanup;
- rewrite deregistration of obsolete ancient xconsole alternative to only
take place on upgrades from extremely old installations, and fix up
usage of update-alternatives (see #164021)
- move workaround for bug #28519 into the main conditional block
.
* Migrate existing obsolete-conffile handling to use new shell-lib.sh
functions.
- debian/{xfree86-common,xbase-clients}.preinst.in: use
remove_conffile_prepare()

* debian/xterm.{preinst,postinst}.in: migrate removal of obsolete old xterm
alternative to the package preinst script where it belongs
.
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ Fix an XAA pixmap cache server crash that can happen in some cases
when the off-screen memory is heavily fragmented. (Closes: #208804)
.
* Improve fix for #191463 (fix hangs when threaded apps use XInput library),
using the fix committed to upstream CVS HEAD after analysis by Bastien
Nocera, Owen Taylor, and Egbert Eich.
+ patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: in with the new
+ patch #095: out with the old (deleted)
.
* Robustify xdm maintainer scripts.
- debian/xdm.{config,preinst,postinst,prerm,postrm}.in:
+ improve comments
+ wrap bare db_* commands with safe_debconf()
+ quote shell variables where reasonable to do so
+ don't do things that depend on the value of $RET after a db_* if a
null value doesn't make sense
+ add debugging messages for tracing of various operations
+ move repair of ancient malformed K* links in /etc/rc[016].d from
postinst to preinst
- debian/xdm.config.in:
+ debconf is not a registry; use the basename of the path listed in
/etc/X11/default-display-manager as the default answer to the
shared/default-x-display-manager question if it is available;
otherwise fall back to existing value
+ uh, let's try defining the DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE variable since
we dereference it
- debian/xdm.postinst.in:
+ use HOST as our iterator variable when checking $DISPLAY instead of
HOSTNAME, which is often already defined
+ discard error messages from hostname command
+ stop searching for a $DISPLAY on $HOST:0 once we've found one
- debian/xdm.prerm.in:
+ don't attempt to find any children of the xdm daemon, and don't make
any effort to stop it, if pidof doesn't report any xdm processes
running

+ Stop removing /usr/doc/X11 and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc symlinks; after
taking a look at old xfree86 package releases (potato, slink, hamm),
I've concluded that old packages get these symlinks out of the way
adequately. If the local admin wants to install symlinks here, it's
no sweat off me.
+ conditionalize removal of long-obsoleted /etc/X11/window-managers file
on upgrades/installs over xfree86-common 3.3.6-5

- debian/xserver-common.preinst.in:
+ stop displacing /etc/X11/Xserver on upgrades from << 4.1.0-6
.
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: revert some problematic changes to XKB;
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c):
489. Fix an xkbcomp bug that prevents a later definition from
specifying actions if the previous definition didn't (#5471, Joe
Moss).
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c,xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbmisc.c):
* In XFree86 4.3, Latin base maps can have many three- and four-level
keys. Some of the keys should behave as 'alphabetic' keys (should
depend on the CapsLock state) and others should be simple 'four level
keys'. To separate these two type of keys, people need to carefully
specify a type for each key in a symbols map. However, carelessness
can can be worked around if xkbcomp itself guesses the type of key.
This patch adds autodetection of four-level types in XKB symbols
maps.
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/misc.c):
* Xkbcomp has a check that prevents inclusion of the same partial map
in an include statement in different single layout maps. This made
sense before the multilayout mechanism was added. But now, it means
a complete layout can't be composed from 'single layout' maps if the
maps include the same file. Thus, this check has ben removed.
+ (xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbtext.c):
680. Correct problem when the server prints the name of a 'private
xkb action' in a format that xkbcomp cannot understand, and was
causing problems when calling XkbGetKeyboard (Ivan Pascal).
+ The above reversions should rectify some problems seen in 4.2.1-6.
(See what happens when one contracts Ben Collins's Disease?)
- xkbcomp chokes on XkbSymbols
'en_US(pc105)+se(nodeadkeys)+ctrl(nocaps)+inet(logicordless)'
(Closes: #182861)
- xkbcomp cannot prepare XKB keymap for keycodes=tcv, symbols=tcv(basil)
(Closes: #185605)
- xkbcomp cannot prepare XKB keymap for 'ucw' Czech keyboard settings
(Closes: #188050)
- xkbcomp cannot load keymap with configuration
xfree86/pc102/fi/nodeadkeys (stock XFree86 4.2.1 works)
(Closes: #189298)
.
* Kill off libxaw-dev virtual package per discussion on debian-devel mailing
list.
- debian/control:
+ libxaw6-dev now conflicts with and replaces libxaw7-dev instead of
libxaw-dev
+ libxaw6-dev no longer provides libxaw-dev
+ libxaw7-dev now conflicts with and replaces libxaw6-dev instead of
libxaw-dev
+ libxaw7-dev no longer provides libxaw-dev
.
* The xserver-xfree86 package now suggests the libglide2 package for the
benefit of 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 users. (Closes: #211780)
- debian/control: update Suggests and Description fields for
xserver-xfree86
.
* Smooth transitions from the Utah GLX packages' libGL and libGLU
implementation to XFree86's version of the Mesa Project's libGL and libGLU
libraries. If the Utah GLX packages stop providing the libgl1 and
libgl-dev packages (see #148718), these relationships will be necessary
because the shared library packages provide libGL.so.1 and libGLU.so.1
symbolic links in /usr/lib, and the development packages provide libGL.so
and libGLU.so symbolic links in /usr/lib. Also see #187365.
- debian/control:
+ xlibmesa3-gl conflicts with and replaces libutahglx1
+ xlibmesa-gl-dev conflicts with and replaces libutahglx-dev
+ xlibmesa3-glu conflicts with and replaces libutahglx1
+ xlibmesa-glu-dev conflicts with and replaces libutahglx-dev
.
* Get that old-time UTF-8 religion by recoding files from ISO-8859-1 to
UTF-8. (Also get right with Debian Policy version 3.6.0.)
- debian/{copyright,changelog,changelog.Debian.old}: recoded with iconv
.
* SECURITY: Fix for CAN-2003-0690; xdm did not verify the return value of
the pam_setcred() function, which could allow attackers to gain root
privileges by triggering error conditions within PAM modules, as
demonstrated in certain configurations of the MIT pam_krb5 module.
Fix backported from XFree86 CVS xf-4_3-branch: xdm now checks the return
value of pam_setcred(), issues an error message if it is not zero, and
treats this situation as an authentication failure.
- debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD.diff: added patch
- debian/patches/002_xdm_fixes.diff: resynced offsets; update
pam_setcred() patch to use pam_error and pam_strerror() when reporting
problems
.
* Ship empty /etc/X11/app-defaults directory in xlibs package so we do not
ship a broken symlink, and provide a way for non-packaged
app-defaults-using software to find the directory to which they should
install their application defaults files. (Closes: #191818)
- debian/xlibs.dirs: new
.
* Bump package's Standards-Version to 3.6.1; no changes necessary (the
package maintainer scripts do no non-debconf-based prompting of the user).
- debian/control: update source stanza
.
* Further cleanups to XFree86's Mesa library package relationships.
Essentially, these reflect the necessity of handling the following
mappings of virtual package names to shared library symbolic links:
libgl1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libgl-dev /usr/lib/libGL.so
libglu1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
libglu-dev /usr/lib/libGLU.so
- debian/control:
+ xlibmesa3-gl replaces libgl1 instead of mesag3 (mesag3 provided the
libgl1 virtual package as far back as potato)
+ xlibmesa3-gl-dev replaces libgl1-dev instead of mesag-dev (mesag-dev
provided the libgl-dev virtual package as far back as potato)
+ xlibmesa3-glu conflicts with and replaces mesag3 (<< 5.0.0-1) (prior
versions of mesag3 shipped /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1)
+ xlibmesa3-glu replaces libglu1
+ xlibmesa3-glu-dev conflicts with and replaces mesag-dev (<< 5.0.0-1)
(prior versions of mesag3 shipped /usr/lib/libGLU.so)
.
* Remove extraneous line-continuation character in xserver-xfree86's
post-installation script that caused the X server symlink (/etc/X11/X) to
erroneously be placed in manual configuration mode on upgrades from the
Old World Order (prior to 4.2.1-10).
- debian/xserver-xfree86.preinst.in
.
* Update xlibs's pre-installation script to clean up after a mess made by
woody-era xlibs post-installation script: it used ln -sf instead of ln
-nsf to create a symbolic link to a directory, which often had the result
of creating a symlink "/etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults", which is bogus
and stupid. (Closes: #210980)
- debian/xlibs.preinst.in
