Subject: Do not set unhonored DPKG_NO_TSTP variable for dpkg
X-Git-Tag: 1.1.exp9~42^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/apt.git/commitdiff_plain/a4256c6bb57dbb59767824133a9a42eceeadc522?hp=29efb9dda712554a2f05eb0475e3cd0a6b8a90fb

Do not set unhonored DPKG_NO_TSTP variable for dpkg

Support for that variable was removed in dpkg in 1.15.6, in commit
6f037003e8b96878b485efb7cbd1f846e3bf4e97.

Closes: #765366
