[ Guillem Jover ] * Do not backup nonexistent database files from the cron.daily file. And stop emitting tar warnings. Closes: #745592, #745651 * Test suite: - Improve Perl code coverage. - Improve C code coverage. * Handle space-only strings when parsing versions in libdpkg. * Document the environment requirements for the dpkg-maintscript-helper supports command in the man page. Closes: #739634 * Improve wording for «dpkg --verify» and --verify-format in the man page. Closes: #733057 * Switch test runner from Test::Harness to TAP::Harness. * Use the perl TAP::Harness for the C test suite instead of the automake tap-driver, to avoid requiring automake >= 1.12, currently not present in stable. * Enable failed test case reporting from the TAP::Harness, so that we get more meaningful reports on failure from the C test suite. * Correctly parse C-style diff filenames in Dpkg::Source::Patch, to avoid directory traversal attempts from hostile source packages when unpacking them. Reported by Jakub Wilk <[email protected]>. Fixes CVE-2014-0471. . [ Updated programs translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). * Russian (Yuri Kozlov). Closes: #745869 * Vietnamese (Trần Ngọc Quân).
