--- Begin Message ---Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.18 Severity: normal According to the dpkg manpage: --verify-format format-name Sets the output format for the --verify command. The only currently supported output format is rpm, which consists of a line for every path that failed any check. However, dpkg accepts (and ignores) *any* value for --verify-format, *except* for rpm, for which it returns the following error: dpkg: error: unknown verify output format 'rpm' >From src/main.c: static void set_verify_format(const struct cmdinfo *cip, const char *value) { if (!verify_set_output(value)) badusage(_("unknown verify output format '%s'"), value); } >From src/verify.c: int verify_set_output(const char *name) { if (strcmp(name, "rpm") == 0) verify_output = verify_output_rpm; else return 1; return 0; } So, set_verify_format expects a false value for failure and true for success, while verify_set_output returns 1 for failure and 0 for success. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-7 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii tar 1.27.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.

[ Guillem Jover ] * Bump the Breaks on devscripts to 2.14.10 due to the new dpkg-architecture command-line parsing strictness introduced in 1.17.17. Closes: #764965 * Create pidfiles even when start-stop-daemon is not asked to background the process itself. Although a bit of a dubious usage, because any error before executing the program will not be properly reported to the caller. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.14. Closes: #765110 * Add new --remove-pidfile option to start-stop-daemon. * Mention --pid and --ppid in start-stop-daemon(8) man page DESCRIPTION. * Add invoke hooks for dpkg --add-architecture and --remove-architecture. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <[email protected]>. * Reverse --verify-format logic to actually accept 'rpm' as valid. Closes: #765907 * Fix trigger dependency checks and cycle detection.
