dpkg (1.14.5ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes follow:
Miscellaneous fixes:
* Don't consider it a file conflict if the package contains
a symlink to a directory where another package already contains the
same symlink/directory and the existing and new symlinks point to the
same place. (Launchpad 22340, Debian #377682.)
* mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
* Fix formatting of these files:
lib/showpkg.c
lib/tarfn.c
src/configure.c
src/archives.c (function quote_filename only)
to conform to the rest of dpkg by running them through
expand -t2 (and in the last case using M-x indent-rigidly once).
As discussed on debian-dpkg. Submitted upstream as Debian #375711.
* scripts/update-alternatives.pl: in the case where the slave is
inapplicable do not attempt to create the slave link before removing
it again. This will help alleviate LP #84906 (vim upgrade problems)
and will generally make things slightly less fragile. Debian #411699.
* mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for Debian #379028).
* Fix the uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
line 602. Thanks to Ubulette for this patch. (LP: #118246)
Patch modified by iwj not to ignore lstat failures.
* Use i686 for lpia in cputable and triplettable.
Launchpad integration:
* Implement changelog-closes-bugs for Ubuntu (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog).
* Add Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed to dpkg-genchanges too, to make it not
complain about unknown fields.
DebianMaintainerField:
* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Check that debian/control complies to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField: Refuse to build a source
package if we have an Ubuntu version number, but Maintainer: is not an
Ubuntu address. Output a warning if there is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer:
field for packages with an Ubuntu version number.
* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Only fail to build the source package if $DEBEMAIL
contains 'ubuntu'. If not, only print a warning.
* debian/control: Change Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer field.
Implementation of Breaks:
* References:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/10/msg00643.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageDependencyFieldBreaks
Debian #379140.
* Manpages mention Breaks: deb-control.5, dpkg-query.1, dpkg.1.
* Support for Breaks in dpkg-source, dpkg-gencontrol et al.
* Support for Breaks in the code in dpkg.
* Breaks is ignored by dselect.
* Fix for Debian #378003 (multiple deconfigurations) is
mixed in with Breaks implementation.
* Declare Breaks against older dpkg-dev rather than Conflicts.
* Decisions made:
* Specifying Breaks: <virtual package> is fairly meaningless
without versioned Provides but to make versioned Provides easier
in the future we support it fully.
* We do not transitively deconfigure things when we deconfigure
due to Breaks, just as we don't do so when we deconfigure due
to removal due to Conflicts (see also Debian #378009).
* Just as for deconfiguration due to Conflicts, we don't deconfigure
Essential packages without --force-remove-essential.
* We aren't willing to deconfigure more than one package as a result
of a single element of a Breaks, just as we aren't willing to
remove more than one package as a result of a single element of
a Conflicts. (Note that this can only occur due to virtual
packages so it can be worked around by specifying the individual
real packages instead.)
* We're happy to deconfigure a package that's on hold even if
afterwards, due to Breaks, there might not be a way to reconfigure it.
(This is analogous to the situation where we install a package which
no longer satisfies the dependencies of an on-hold package; it's not
clear what the right answer is.)
* We invent a new --force-breaks which does much the
same as --force-conflicts.
* --ignore-depends works for Breaks even though it doesn't work
for Conflicts.
* <deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
as well as
<deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver> \
removing <conflictor> <ver>
and of course the corresponding
<deconfigured's postinst> abort-deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
