d/rules: replace custom rule for 'configure' with call to dh_autoreconf
Having a custom rule to create 'configure' means that if the file
may not get correctly rebuilt; instead dh_autoreconf should be
called to make sure it is always correctly rebuilt.Closes: #939516

* Cherry-pick upstream fix for trigger loops (LP: #1828639):
- dpkg: Split the trigger dependtry into two, the second of which will be
the one checking trigger cycles when deferring trigger processing due to
unsatisfiable dependencies. Closes: #928429 - 761f880... by Adam Conrad

06b4b87fc5329b8 cdce0f9486 New changelog entries:
* Merge from current Debian testing; remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
- Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
same time having translated debconf prompts.
- Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
- Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
- Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
- dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
- Add Zstd compression and decompression support for binary packages. - 936ec58... by Guillem Jover <email address hidden>

[ Guillem Jover ]
* libdpkg: Add a new TAR_FORMAT_UNKNOWN enum value.
* libdpkg: Set tar_entry to zero on tar_entry_destroy( ), to avoid double
free()s and the subsequent crashes.
* libdpkg: Handle non end-of-tape errors from tar_header_decode( ).
* libdpkg: Use ERANGE instead of EINVAL for tar_atol8() out-of-range error.
* dpkg-gencontrol: Check presence of package build dir before traversing it.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package: :V1: Change default build option style to -sa.
Using -sA by default means the user might lose data on overwrite if
there is already a directory with the same name laying around.
Closes: #910737
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Handle Format field being undefined. On source
format 1.0, the default is for the debian/source/ format file not being
present, which means we'll start with an empty Format field name.
Regression introduced in dpkg 1.19.3.
* Packaging:
- Update usertags.
- Install a lintian profile for dpkg based on the debian profile, so that
we can suppress Debian-specific tags, such as the controversial one on
vendor-specific patch series files.
- Add Breaks on lsb-base due to start-stop-daemon exposing breakage in
the killproc function from /lib/lsb/init-functions. Closes: #923861
* Test suite:
- Stop requiring (pseudo-)root in the functional test suite.
- Export and move TESTDATA definition close to the PATH definition.
- Quote the 'yes' command to make a comment clearer.

[ Guillem Jover ]
* start-stop-daemon: Make sure that we get a meaningful errno on
parse_unsigned( ), so that the error messages always make sense.
* start-stop-daemon: Add new fatalv() and fatale() functions and use the
latter for system errors, so that we are explicit on whether we want to
use errno for error reporting or not.
* start-stop-daemon: Always refuse to parse a world-writable pidfile,
except when that is /dev/null.
* dpkg: Print the current set of enabled force options on --force-help.
* dpkg: Parse and set new DPKG_FORCE environment variable for subprocesses.
Closes: #666147
* dpkg-statoverride: Add support for --force-* options.
* dpkg-statoverride: Switch from --force option to new --force-<thing>
options. Deprecate --force option which will be considered an alias for
--force-all for now.
* dpkg, dpkg-statoverride: Add new option --refuse-security- mac to control
SELinux. See #811037.
* dpkg: Clarify error on unknown system user/group in statoverride database.
Closes: #920880
* dpkg-buildpackage: Clarify the warning/error on short OpenPGP key IDs.
Closes: #922039

-maxdepth 1. Thanks to Ralf Treinen <email address hidden>. Closes: #922799
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Add support for a new Build-Tainted-By field in
.buildinfo files. Suggested by Alexander E. Patrakov <email address hidden>.
* libdpkg: Clarify field names in error and warning messages.
* libdpkg: Optimize error handling. Move the error reporting outside the
involved functions so that we do not need to call gettext if there is no
error, which has a significant performance cost.
* libdpkg: Merge nicknames table into fieldinfos, to stop penalizing the
lookup of non-obsolete fieldnames.
* libdpkg: Print a more accurate warning for Revision nicknames.
* libdpkg: Increase the pkg-hash bins size to 65521, to improve hash table
performance at the cost of a bit more memory usage.
* libdpkg: Blank packages that are not-installed with unknown selection.
Closes: #922410
* libdpkg, dpkg: Print the dpkg database directory on access errors.
Closes: #883700

- libdpkg: Add new dpkg_has_error() function.
- libdpkg: Move status names from parse errors to arguments.
- libdpkg: Use va_arg copy instead of the original on a vasprintf() call.
- libdpkg: Include <string.h> in pager.c.
Reported by Y <email address hidden>. Closes: #922212
- libdpkg: Use pkg_set_want() instead of a direct assignment.
* Build system:

f50b58efba84305 1c0448b0f7 New changelog entries:
[ Guillem Jover ]
* dpkg-source: Stop filtering @builddeps@ from Testsuite-Triggers field.
Closes: #910734
* dpkg-genchanges: Only reference binary packages being uploaded, which
means that for a source-only upload, the Binary and Description fields
should be empty. Closes: #818618
* dpkg-scanpackages: Do not compute unnecessary checksums when using the
--hash argument. Based on a patch by Chris Lamb <email address hidden>.
Closes: #916456
* dpkg-scanpackages: Emit a warning with the list of repeat packages.
Prompted by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.
* start-stop-daemon: Check whether standalone --pidfile use is secure.
Prompted by Michael Orlitzky <email address hidden>.
* start-stop-daemon: Print complete verbose lines, instead of partial lines
with no newlines and a final print with a newline.
* start-stop-daemon: Add new --notify-await and --notify-timeout options,
which implement the systemd readiness protocol for services.
Closes: #910707
* update-alternatives: Add new --debug option.
* update-alternatives: Fix removal of obsolete slaves from the linked list.
Reported by Andreas Beckmann <email address hidden>. Closes: #916799
* vendor.mk: Fix dpkg_vendor_derives_ from macro documentation.
Thanks to Colin Watson <email address hidden>. Closes: #913816
* vendor.mk: Add support for an improved dpkg_vendor_derives_ from macro.
Version the macros so that both can be used, and default the unversioned
one to the version 0 macro.
* dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as "istobe"
normal, so that the dependency checks know they cannot expect this package
to be processed anymore. Otherwise we ended up never detecting that we
were not making progress, as we expected to process this package at a later
point, when that would never happen anymore. This then was causing asserts
in the process queue loop. Closes: #901127, #910819
* dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected it into the current
package process queue iteration, so that we do not keep trying to process
it, which might end up generating artificial trigger cycles, if
dependencies are not satisfied yet.
* dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
one, so that we stop skipping unsatisfiable dependency checks.
* dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional. We should
only reset the cycle detection in case we are not bailing out from the
processing with an error, otherwise we could come back to this package and
detect an artificial trigger cycle.
* dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing. This
completely defers trigger processing until after the dependency cycle
breaking level, so to avoid generating artificial trigger cycles, when we
end up trying to process triggers with yet unsatisifiable dependencies.
Closes: #810724, #854478, #911620
* dpkg: Fix --help output, to clarify which arguments are optional.
* libdpkg: Add proper tar error handling. This makes the tar extractor
track and report back parse errors, so that we can give more descriptive
messages.
* libdpkg: Detect unsupported tar entry types to give better error messages.
* libdpkg: Add new db-fsys:Files and db-fsys:Last-Modified virtual fields.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Changelog::Debian: Preserve modelines at EOF. Closes: #916056
Thanks to Chris Lamb <email address hidden> for initial test cases.
- Dpkg::File: Make file_slurp() also accept pathnames in addition to
filehandles.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Ubuntu: Fix buildflags override after default setting move.
Based on a patch by Iain Lane <email address hidden> and

- Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump: Only select objdump program when going to use it.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Do not reinitialize fields member in constructor.

* Build system:
- get-version: Use a format string with printf.
- run-script: Use $() instead of deprecated ``.
- run-script: Remove unused PERL_PROFILE variable, PERL5OPT can be used
instead, and does not require leaving an unquoted variable around.

[ Guillem Jover ]
* Fix logic in dpkg-buildpackage to decide whether to run build targets,
which broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
Thanks to James Clarke <email address hidden>. Closes: #878899
* Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <email address hidden>.
* Pass the correct source stanza to the dpkg-buildpackage code parsing the
Rules-Requires- Root field. This meant the field was being ignored.
* Run dpkg-source directly from the current working directory in
dpkg-buildpackage, instead of changing directory back and forth.
* Setup and check rootcommand in dpkg-buildpackage only if it is going to
be needed. Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
* Add color support to dpkg-maintscript-helper (a shell script).
* Fix warning by including <sys/sysmacros.h> for makedev() in libdpkg.
* Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
Reported by Jakub Wilk <email address hidden>.
* Add new AS, STRIP, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP, NM, AR and RANLIB buildtools
variables to buildtools.mk. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <email address hidden>.
* Restore rejecting negated architectures in Architecture field in
dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5.
* Fix dpkg-gensymbols to print "error" instead of "warning" when these
are fatal. Closes: #881488
* Rename DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD to DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in the R³ support, as
the variable is expected to be set by any builder, not just dpkg. And
introduce ephemeral backwards compatibility even though there are no
known users.
* Do not set DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in dpkg-buildpackage when the R³ value is
<implementations-keywords> , following the specification.
* Specify that DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in R³ should preserve the environment.
Proposed by Josh Triplett <email address hidden>.
* Specify new DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ ROOT variable for R³ support.
* Add new --rules-requires- root option to dpkg-buildpackage.
* Declare R³ specification as "recommendation, stable" with version 1.0.
* Export architecture variables by default from architecture.mk, as
documented in dpkg-architecture(1). Closes: #888964
Thanks to Jack Bates <email address hidden>
* Increment the line number on dpkg --set-selections on unknown packages.
Reported by Heinz Repp <email address hidden>. Closes: #888983
* Switch a DEBIAN/conffile parsing assert() in dpkg due to empty lines
into an ohshit(), because this is really a run-time error.
* Fix assert() in dselect to expect the method lock file descriptor to be
initialized, instead of non-zero.
* Switch a fatal() call in start-stop-daemon into the new BUG() macro,
because it is really an internal error.
* Switch all assert() calls (except in update-alternatives) into internerr()
or BUG() calls, to get way better reporting with variable contents and
descriptions, and to make them always present independent of NDEBUG.
* Add a new --no-rename option to dpkg-divert. This is the current default
behavior, but it will make it possible to do a default switch in 1.20.x.
* Warn when using dpkg-divert --add or --remove w/o --rename or --no-rename.
* Warn when using dpkg-divert --rename on a file from an Essential package.
* Use a single “struct filenamenode” definition for the entire code base.
Closes: #746766
* Add support for frontend locking. This makes it possible for frontends
using this new protocol, to safely lock the dpkg database w/o risk of
race conditions with other dpkg instances or frontends supporting the
same protocol. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode <email address hidden>.
* Do not emit perl warnings in dpkg-source --help on source formats w/o
options.
* Make dpkg-buildpackage validate OpenPGP signing key IDs length. Error out
for short key IDs and warn for long key IDs.
* On the dpkg conffile prompt, print the set of environment variables setup
for the conffile shell, for easier discoverability.
* Fix dpkg-buildpackage option --rules-file parsing. It was trying to parse
it as --rules-target, which due to the ordering was a no-op.
* Only check for fallback build targets presence on binary builds in
dpkg-buildpackage.
* Only check required build dependencies for known targets specified with
dpkg-buildpackage --rules-target option.
Reported by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.
* Track package status dirtiness in dpkg to only log and report in status-fd
when it has changed, removing duplication in output. Closes: #365921
* Use Synopsis instead of Summary for the short Description, to unify the
nomenclature and to make it more descriptive. Add a new binary:Synopsis
virtual field to dpkg-query show format.
* Add new dpkg-buildpackage --no-post-clean option, to be able to explicitly
select the current default behavior.
* Dump database package records in alphabetical order. This will give
reproducible status and available database files, and make it possible
to output other deb822 formatted data in a deterministic way.
* Require both standard input and output to be connected to a terminal to
use a pager.
* Run dpkg-query --list output through a pager if we are on a terminal,
instead of truncating it, to avoid data loss. Closes: #898603
* Fix use after free in dpkg maintainer script handling. Regression
introduced in dpkg 1.19.0.
* Flush output for dpkg-query --status, --print-avail and --listfiles at
the end, instead of after each stanza.
* Add support for dumping all dpkg-query --status and --print-avail records
from the database when no arguments are specified. Closes: #616342
* Add new dpkg-gensymbols -l option to avoid having to abuse LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for cross-build paths.
* Check that DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is defined in dpkg-maintscrip t-helper.
Closes: #907772
* Switch dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges to track automatically
generated artifacts by using the Auto-Built-Package field from the binary
package instead of hardcoding package name patterns (such as «-dbgsym$»).
* Add new --reverse option to dpkg-parsechangelog, to list the changelog
entries in reverse order.
* Architecture support:
- Add support for riscv64 CPU. Closes: #822914
Thanks to Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <email address hidden>
- Document the purpose and columns in the tupletable file.
* Portability:
- Add libcompat md5 module to the libcompat-test library, so that we
always make sure it builds, even when we use an external implementation.
- Convert libcompat md5 module to use C99 int types, instead of mapping
them from the BSD types at configure time.
- Use MD5_CTX instead of struct MD5Context, as the prevalent more portable
type on system's <md5.h> headers.
- Check for ldconfig command in dpkg only on platforms that do have it.
- Fix file descriptor leak in start-stop-daemon on AIX.
- libcompat: Add new strchrnul() implementation.
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Source::Package: :V1: Check that $tarname is defined before use.
Thanks to Christoph Biedl <email address hidden>.
Closes: #879124
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Use proper %use_feature key. This was causing perl
errors on paths not accepted for fixdebugpath.
Reported by Mattia Rizzolo <email address hidden>, on IRC. Closes: #881051
- Dpkg::Changelog: Print versions for incorrect changelog range warnings.
Thanks to Paul Wise <email address hidden>.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Check that $state->{seen} exists instead of
$state being just defined. Fixes regression in dpkg-gensymbols symbols
output. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev <email address hidden>. Closes: #880166
- Dpkg::Arch: Add new positive options argument to arch validators.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark hurd-i386 as having gcc builtin PIE.
Requested by Samuel Thibault <email address hidden>.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: :V2: Print one building line per existing tarball.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Print building lines for upstream tarball
signatures. Closes: #888787
- Dpkg::Deps: Turn virtualpkg tracking from an arrayyref into a hashref.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark riscv64 as having gcc builtin PIE.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump: Fix ELF program detection, for PIE binaries and
executable libraries.
- Dpkg::Version: Fix bool overload behavior back to be an is_valid()
alias. Emit a specific perl warning until 1.20.x so that users can check
whether the semantic change has any impact on the code, which can then
be quiesced. Closes: #895004
- Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: When detecting the changelog format, read the
last 4KiB of the file instead of using «tail -n40», which should be
both faster and more portable, as the default tail(1) is not POSIX
compliant on all systems (c.f. Solaris).
- Dpkg::Build::Types: Add new set_build_type_from_ targets( ) function.
- Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Always assign a proper Dpkg::Version to the
deprecated variable, otherwise the scalar value 0 can get confused
on scalar context to denote it is *not* deprecated instead of being
version 0.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Disable bool overload Dpkg::Version warnings.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Inline _parse_ feature_ area() into
_add_build_ flags() , for a small speed up and line count reduction.
- Dpkg::BuildFlags: Move default flags setting into the Dpkg::Vendor
modules.
- Dpkg::Gettext: Fix fallback textdomain() to honor its expected interface.
- Dpkg::Deps: Split subpackages into their own separate modules.
- Dpkg::Source: Do not change patch permissions if not necessary.
Closes: #898010
- Dpkg::Substvars: Reword used/unused warnings to clarify their meaning.
Closes: #904258
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Warn when using LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a private library
directory which is a descendent of the current working directory.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: :V3::Quilt: Print series file used when applying
patches.

conversion.
- Dpkg::Control::Fields: Do not use & sigil for function calls.
- Dpkg::Shlibs: Ignore nonexistent directories present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts: Satisfy :native with arch:all packages too.
These are treated as native packages everywhere else in the multi-arch
design, this was the only exception, which has become a source of
packaging problems as of late. This was apparently an oversight in
the original implementation. Closes: #854438
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add fixfilepath support to reproducible feature.
- Dpkg::Dist::Files: Add support for file attributes.
* Documentation:
- Update gettext minimal version in README.

- Clarify awaiting state for interest and activate directives.
Closes: #904060
- Fix man page markup. Closes: #900033, #900035, #900040
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason <email address hidden>.
- Fix Doxygen comment for libdpkg dpkg_arch_find() function.
- Document the dangers of using start-stop-daemon( 8) only with --pidfile
as matching option with the pid file owned by a non-privileged user.
* Code internals:
- Do not use stringy eval to define different sub implementations,
just assign an anonymous sub to the typeglob.
- Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() to quiesce a gcc-8 warning.
- Change pkgbin_name_needs_ arch() to never arch-qualify packages that
have an empty or no architecture, which was already handled as part
of varbuf_add_archqual( ).
- libdpkg: Factor out cached arch-qualified package name generation into
new pkgbin_name_archqual( ) function.
- libdpkg: Add new pkg_name() and pkgbin_name() const variants.
- libdpkg, dselect: Use new pkg_name_const() and pkgbin_name_const( ).
- libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.

before using it.
- libdpkg: Move files list information from dpkg clientdata to pkginfo.
- dpkg: Move ensure_package_ clientdata( ) into its own file.
- libdpkg: Move db-fsys code from src to lib/dpkg.
- libdpkg: Rename pkg-db module to pkg-hash.
- libdpkg: Simplify pkg_files_blank() by using a pointer to pointer to
track the previous entry.
- libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.
- libdpkg: Switch to a new tiny struct to track file on-disk identity.
This should reduce the run-time memory used.
- libdpkg: Reset nfiles in files_db_reset().
- libdpkg: Split push_cleanup() into push_cleanup_fallback( ).
- Switch from strchr() + strlen() to strchrnul().
- libdpkg: Change dpkg_error to track errno values.

- libdpkg: Add new m_dup() function.
- libdpkg: Factor out package stanza printing into its own function.
- libdpkg: Split pager specific code into its own module.
- libdpkg: Add pager spawning and reaping support.
- Use new pager spawning support instead of open-coding it, or piping it
via a shell invocation, which required metacharacter escaping.
- dpkg-query: Split enqperpackage() into each different action.
* Build system:
- Set distribution tarball format to ustar, instead of default v7 format.
- Mark PO4A and POD2MAN as precious variables.
- Automatically replace -Wno- with -W when testing compiler flags,
instead of passing the positive form manually.

- Add an autogen script to help people bootstrap the project.
- Distribute the man.stamp from VPATH.
- Preserve timestamps when distributing man pages.
- Add a GitLab CI configuration file.
- Disable C optimization levels when configuring for code coverage.
* Packaging:
- Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
- Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919
- Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
- Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
from Dpkg::Source::Package.
Reported by Ian Jackson <email address hidden>.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 (no changes needed).
- Add bzip2 and xz-utils to Build-Depends, required by the functional test
suite, but shadowed by dpkg-dev from the build system pulling those in.
- Add versioned libncurses-dev as the first Build-Depends alternative.
Thanks to Sven Joachim <email address hidden>.
- Do not pass VERBOSE to test suite, as we are not using any automake
test driver, so it does not get honored.

- Enable verbose test suite only in non-terse builds.
- Add a Suggests on sensible-utils to libdpkg-perl.
- Switch libdpkg-perl again to depend on perl:any, now that debootstrap
in stable (stretch) supports arch-qualified dependencies.
- Update libdpkg-perl public module list in package description.
- Add Breaks on apt (<< 1.7~b) for --status-fd duplicate removals.

- Add new test cases to clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification.
- Add several TODO tests cases for dependency simplification.
- Add new cppcheck author test.
- Add support for new test_get_srcdir() test_get_builddir( ).
- Add new unit tests for namevalue, fsys-hash and pkg-hash libdpkg modules.
- Improve coverage of perl unit tests.
- Delete fixup lines from i18nspector output instead of emptying them.
- Add new codespell author test.
- Add new test that the public libdpkg headers can be compiled with C++.
