Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.7
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

  Correct the misuse of a two-fonts macro, which function is to

1) use the first font for each odd numbered argument and the second
font for all others.

2) join the arguments without an intervening space.

  The output of nroff and troff is unchanged.

  The patch is based on the current git repository in "git.dpkg.org".

###

  THE PATCH IS IN THE ATTACHMENT.

Changes:
 dpkg (1.20.1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Fix dpkg logging regression introduced in 1.20.0:
     - libdpkg: Use varbuf member .used instead of .size in log_message(),
       to avoid printing garbage.
     - libdpkg: Open the log file as write-only instead of read-only.
     Thanks to Roderich Schupp <[email protected]>. Closes: #953684
   * Unify and cleanup Makefile fragment files comments, including information
     about version of introduction.
   * Add new buildopts.mk Makefile fragment to support parsing DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
     options with arguments, such as “parallel” as DEB_BUILD_OPTION_PARALLEL.
   * dpkg-genchanges: Handle empty Date fields from parsed debian/changelog.
     Based on a patch by Baptiste BEAUPLAT <[email protected]>. Closes: #956321
   * dpkg-source: Check that debian/tests/control has the required fields.
     Prompted by Felix Lechner <[email protected]>.
   * dpkg-deb, dpkg: Do not accept relative pathnames in DEBIAN/conffiles.
     Reported by Niels Thykier <[email protected]>.
   * dpkg-split: Fix off-by-one check in ar header padding, that was making
     parsing error out on valid archives. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
   * libdpkg: Fix error message for ending version character in dependency
     parser:
     - Move the version unterminated case before the catchall.
     - Print the actual wrong character and print what is expected.
   * libdpkg: Do not use econtext->errmsg on out of context abort, as it might
     be uninitialized.
   * update-alternatives: Set the umask to 022 on program start.
     Reported by Paul Wise <[email protected]>.
   * dpkg-parsechangelog: Fix --show-field for multiline fields. We were not
     stripping trailing whitespace, and were not prefixing empty lines with
     a ‘.’, like when printing with the field names.
     Reported by Paul Wise <[email protected]>.
   * dpkg: Add a new --robot option to be used with --version.
   * dpkg, dpkg-query: Document missing options in --help output.
   * Unify ellipsis formatting in programs --help output.
   * Add Protected field support.
   * dpkg-realpath: New program, to be used by dpkg-maintscript-helper, and
     any maintainer script that needs a realpath that can handle pathnames
     relative to the dpkg root directory.
   * dpkg-realpath: Add support for DPKG_ROOT.
     Thanks to Helmut Grohne <[email protected]>.
   * dpkg-realpath: Add support for --root and --instdir options.
   * dpkg-maintscript-helper: Add support for DPKG_ROOT:

     Closes: #832176
   * update-alternatives: Add DPKG_ROOT support, and new --root and --instdir
     options. Closes: #871808
   * Portability:
     - libdpkg: When using uselocale(), include <xlocale.h> for locale_t if
       the header is available. Needed on BSDs.
       Reported by Sirio Balmelli <[email protected]>.
