Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.10ubuntu1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Running dpkg-parsechangelog on changelogs that produce date parsing
problems, e.g.:
Tue, 17 May 2008 10:93:55 -0500
(don't ask me how it got there, but it happened in one Ubuntu publish).
ends up with an error like, "uses full instead of abbreviated month name
'May'", which is obviously not the actual problem. I think there is
actually a bug in dpkg (introduced in:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/scripts/Dpkg/Changelog/Entry/Debian.pm?id=21f5898d846a1cd69bdc6849e2097168cde02fdf),
in that if a full month is found to be used, it's not checked that the
full month is *also* an abbreviated month (only true for May, though).
I tested a fix with below patch on my local system. It feels like it
might be cleaner to special-case May as the only affected month, but I
think the logic was simply incorrect before either way -- it only makes
sense to check if a full month was used if an abbreviated month wasn't.
Thanks,
Nish

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Improve PIE flags support:
- Rename the spec name cc1_options to self_spec.
Suggested by James Clarke <[email protected]>
- Do not set PIE options if they have been negated, and do not reset
them if they have been requested.
Closes: #843791, #843826
* Fix use after free error in dpkg. It was trying to print messages that
had already been freed as part of the database memory pool, causing in
some cases segfaults when reporting the error summary at the end.
Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.11. Closes: #843874
* Change default color behavior to auto.
* Perl modules:
- Fix confusing date parse error message in Dpkg::Changelog::Entry::Debian
when the date contains “May”. Closes: #843829
Thanks to Nishanth Aravamudan <[email protected]>.
- New module Dpkg::Build::Info module refactored from dpkg-genbuildinfo.
Requested by Johannes Schauer <[email protected]>.
* Documentation:
- Improve the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS description in dpkg-buildpackage(1).
And mention the parallel option there.
- Explicitly mention in dpkg-buildpackage(1) that setting the number
of parallel jobs to 1, restores the serial behavior.
Prompted by Thorsten Glaser <[email protected]>.
* Packaging:
- List public Dpkg::Control::Tests module in libdpkg-perl description.
* Test suite:
- Do not fail tests on missing fakeroot, just skip them.
* Build system:
- Fix inversion logic in libmd configure check when requested explicitly.
- Do not consider the compressor libraries available in configure if the
headers are not usable.
- Fix DPKG_BUILD_RELEASE_DATE to require DPKG_PROG_PERL, as it uses perl.
- Change DPKG_BUILD_RELEASE_DATE to use perl instead of date(1) to
format the timestamp, as the former is more portable.
.
[ Updated man pages translations ]
