We have the last Release file around for other checks, so its trivial to
look if the new Release file contains a new codename (e.g. the user has
"testing" in the sources and it flipped from stretch to buster).
Such a change can be okay and expected, but also be a hint of problems,
so a warning if we see it happen seems okay. We can only print it once
anyhow and frontends and co are likely to ignore/hide it.
A suite or codename entry in the Release file is checked against the
distribution field in the sources.list entry that lead to the download of that
Release file. This distribution entry can contain slashes in the distribution
field:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian wheezy/updates main
However, the Release file may only contain "wheezy" in the Codename field and
not "wheezy/updates". So a transformation needs to take place that removes the
last / and everything that comes after (e.g. "/updates"). This fails, however,
for valid cases like a reprepro snapshot where the given Codename contains
slashes but is perfectly fine and doesn't need to be transformed. Since that
transformation is essentially just a workaround for special cases like the
security repository, it should be checked if the literal Codename without any
transformations happened is valid and only if isn't the dist should be checked
against the transformated one.
This way special cases like security.debian.org are handled and reprepro
snapshots work too.
The initial patch was taken as insperationto move whole transformation
to CheckDist() which makes this method more accepting & easier to use
(but according to codesearch.d.n we are the only users anyhow).

add hidden config to set packages as Essential/Important
You can pretty much achieve the same with a local dummy package if you
want to, but libapt has an inbuilt setting for essential: "apt" which
can be overridden with this option as well – it could be helpful in
quick tests and what not so adding this alternative shouldn't really
hurt much.
We aren't going to document them much through as care must be taken in
regards to the binary caches as they aren't invalidated by config
options alone, so the effects of old settings could still be in them,
similar to the other already existing pkgCacheGen option(s).

http: clear content before reporting the failure
[Comment from commiter:] I have the feeling that the issue itself is
fixed for a while already as nowadays we have testcases involving a
webserver closing the connection on error (look for "closeOnError") and
no even remotely recent reports about it, but moving the content
clearance above the failure report is a valid change and shouldn't hurt.
On Travis CI running tests with code coverage enabled sometimes
generates lines like:
profiling:/path/to/file.gcda:Merge mismatch for function 257
It would be nice if we could resolve this somehow as it garbles the
statistics, but until then it is far more annoying that this causes
test failures for no good reason.
The 0.0.0.0:0 tor reports is pretty useless by itself, but even if an IP
would be reported it is better to show the user the hostname we wanted
the proxy to connect to in the same error message. We improve upon it
further by looking for this bind address in particular and remap error
messages slightly to give users a better chance of figuring out what
went wrong. Upstream Tor can't do that as it is technically wrong.
rename Checksum-FileSize to Filesize in hashsum mismatch
Some people do not recognize the field value with such an arcane name
and/or expect it to refer to something different (e.g. #839257).
We can't just rename it internally as its an avoidance strategy as such
fieldname existed previously with less clear semantics, but we can spare
the general public from this implementation detail.
reset HOME, USER(NAME), TMPDIR & SHELL in DropPrivileges
We can't cleanup the environment like e.g. sudo would do as you usually
want the environment to "leak" into these helpers, but some variables
like HOME should really not have still the value of the root user – it
could confuse the helpers (USER) and HOME isn't accessible anyhow.
These new enum values might cause "interesting" behaviour in tools not
expecting them – like an old apt would think a Build-Conflicts-Arch is
some sort of Build-Depends – but that can't reasonably be avoided and
effects only packages using B-D/C-A so if there is any breakage the
tools can easily be adapted.
The APT_PKG_RELEASE number is increased so that libapt users can detect
the availability of these new enum fields via:
#if APT_PKG_ABI > 500 || (APT_PKG_ABI == 500 && APT_PKG_RELEASE >= 1)
fix testcase expecting incorrect remove log from dpkg
dpkg 1.18.11 includes:
* Do not log nor print duplicate dpkg removal action. We print
“Removing <package> (<version>)” lines and log remove action twice
when purging a package from frontends, because they usually first call
--remove and then --purge sequentially. When purging a package which is
already in config-files (i.e. it has been removed before), do not print
nor log the remove action.

Do not (re)start "apt-daily.system"
This unit runs unattended-upgrades. If apt itself is part of the
upgrade a restart of the unit will kill unattended-upgrades. This
will lead to an inconsistent dpkg status.
A user relying on the deprecated behaviour of apt-get to accept a source
with an unknown pubkey to install a package containing the key expects
that the following 'apt-get update' causes the source to be considered
as trusted, but in case the source hadn't changed in the meantime this
wasn't happening: The source kept being untrusted until the Release file
was changed.
This only effects sources not using InRelease and only apt-get, the apt
binary downright refuses this course of actions, but it is a common way
of adding external sources.
don't install new deps of candidates for kept back pkgs
In effect this is an extension of the 6 years old commit a8dfff90aa740889eb99d00fde5d70908d9fd88a which uses the autoremover to
remove packages again from the solution which are no longer needed to be
there. Commonly these are dependencies of packages we end up not
installed due to problem resolver decisions. Slightly less common is
the situation we deal with here: a package which we wanted to upgrade
sporting a new dependency, but ended up holding back.
The problem is that all versions of an installed reverse dependencies can
bring back a "garbage" package – we need to do this as there is
nothing inherently wrong in having garbage packages installed or upgrade
them, which itself would have garbage dependencies, so just blindly
killing all new garbage packages would prevent the upgrade (and actually
generate errors). What we should be doing is looking only at the version
we will have on the system, disregarding all old/new reverse dependencies.
travis: Move codecov from after_success to after_script
We always want to run codecov test, even if there are spurious
failures. We should really work around those failures more, though,
it is starting to annoy me.
don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing
which accidentally made the proxy autodetection code also read
the scripts output on stderr, not only on stdout when it switched
the code from popen() to Popen().
VersionHash: Do not skip too long dependency lines
If the dependency line does not contain spaces in the repository
but does in the dpkg status file (because dpkg normalized the
dependency list), the dpkg line might be longer than the line
in the repository. If it now happens to be longer than 1024
characters, it would be skipped, causing the hashes to be
out of date.
Note that we have to bump the minor cache version again as
this changes the format slightly, and we might get mismatches
with an older src cache otherwise.
This allows fully automated code coverage testing, which is
basically awesome. To allow the methods and solvers and stuff
which run as _apt to write to our build directory, we need to
adjust the permissions a bit, but otherwise it's OK.
We need to ignore messages from gcov. All those messages
start with profiling: and are printed using vfprintf(), so
the only thing we can do is add a library overriding those
functions and linking apt-pkg to it.
test: Always install dpkg into our tests, regardless of MA
Even if we only configure a single architecture, install dpkg, so
dpkg can assert multi arch correctly. This also has the nice side
effect of making single architecture and multiple architecture
test cases more uniform.
edsp: try 2 to read responses even if writing failed
Commit b60c8a89c281f2bb945d426d2215cbf8f5760738 improved the situation,
but due to inconsistency mostly for planners, not for solvers. As the
idea of hiding errors if we show another error is a bit scary (as the
extern error might be a followup of our intern error, rather than the
reason for our intern error as it is at the moment) we don't discard the
errors, but if we got an extern error we show them directly removing
them from the error list at the end of the run – that list will contain
the extern error which hopefully gives us the best of both worlds.
The problem itself is the same as before: The externals exiting before
apt is done talking to them.
Commit 3af3ac2f5ec007badeded46a94be2bd06b9917a2 (released in 1.3~pre1)
implements proper fallback for SRV, but that works actually too good
as the RFC defines that such an SRV record should indicate that the
server doesn't provide this service and apt should respect this.
The solution is hence to fail again as requested even if that isn't what
the user (and perhaps even the server admins) wanted. At least we will
print a message now explicitly mentioning SRV to point people in the
right direction.
acquire: Use priority queues and a 3 stage pipeline design
Employ a priority queue instead of a normal queue to hold
the items; and only add items to the running pipeline if
their priority is the same or higher than the priority
of items in the queue.
The priorities are designed for a 3 stage pipeline system:
In stage 1, all Release files and .diff/Index files are fetched. This
allows us to determine what files remain to be fetched, and thus
ensures a usable progress reporting.
In stage 2, all Pdiff patches are fetched, so we can apply them
in parallel with fetching other files in stage 3.
In stage 3, all other files are fetched (complete index files
such as Contents, Packages).
Performance improvements, mainly from fetching the pdiff patches
before complete files, so they can be applied in parallel:
For the 01 Sep 2016 03:35:23 UTC -> 02 Sep 2016 09:25:37 update
of Debian unstable and testing with Contents and appstream for
amd64 and i386, update time reduced from 37 seconds to 24-28
seconds.
Previously, apt would first download new DEP11 icon tarballs
and metadata files, causing the CPU to be idle. By fetching
the diffs in stage 2, we can now patch our contents and Packages
files while we are downloading the DEP11 stuff.
CMake: test/libapt: Use a prebuilt GTest library if available
If a non-existing source directory is specified, try finding
the system gtest library. Debian derived distributions are
a bit strange because they only ship the source code and
not the library...
support long keyid and fingerprint in gpgv's GOODSIG
In gpgv1 GOODSIG (and the other messages of status-fd) are documented as
sending the long keyid. In gpgv2 it is documented to be either long
keyid or the fingerprint. At the moment it is still the long keyid, but
the documentation hints at the possibility of changing this.
We care about this for Signed-By support as we detect this way if the
right fingerprint has signed this file (or not). The check itself is
done via VALIDSIG which always is a fingerprint, but there must also be
a GOODSIG (as expired sigs are valid, too) found to be accepted which
wouldn't be found in the fingerprint-case and the signature hence
refused.
try not to call memcpy with length 0 in hash calculations
memcpy is marked as nonnull for its input, but ignores the input anyhow
if the declared length is zero. Our SHA2 implementations do this as
well, it was "just" MD5 and SHA1 missing, so we add the length check
here as well as along the callstack as it is really pointless to do all
these method calls for "nothing".
gpg annoyingly changed its output and broke our test suite
again by adding two extra lines about key type and issuer.
Really annoying.
Those lines also have more than one space after the colon,
so let's use \s* there - and also change the other lines to
support variable length whitespace in case gpg decides to
break things there too.
If the inner Base256ToNum() returned false, it did not set
Num to a new value, causing it to be uninitialized, and thus
might have caused the function to exit despite a good result.
Also document why the Res = Num, if (Res != Num) magic is done.
TagFile: Fix off-by-one errors in comment stripping
Adding 1 to the value of d->End - current makes restLength one byte
too long: If we pass memchr(current, ..., restLength) has thus
undefined behavior.
Also, reading the value of current has undefined behavior if
current >= d->End, not only for current > d->End:
Consider a string of length 1, that is d->End = d->Current + 1.
We can only read at d->Current + 0, but d->Current + 1 is beyond
the end of the string.
This probably caused several inexplicable build failures on hurd-i386
in the past, and just now caused a build failure on Ubuntu's amd64
builder.
Fix segfault and out-of-bounds read in Binary fields
If a Binary field contains one or more spaces before a comma, the
code produced a segmentation fault, as it accidentally set a pointer
to 0 instead of the value of the pointer.
If the comma is at the beginning of the field, the code would
create a binStartNext that points one element before the start
of the string, which is undefined behavior.
We also need to check that we do not exit the string during the
replacement of spaces before commas: A string of the form " ,"
would normally exit the boundary of the Buffer:
Introduce a new -qq mode for our integration test framework,
and make travis use it.
The new -qq mode sets MSGLEVEL to 1. In MSGLEVEL=1, no messages
are generated for passed tests, and all testcase filenames are
printed in the same line.
Also install first in travis, do not ls the installed output
and run the install with chronic, so we only get output if it
failed.
don't loop on pinning pkgs from absolute debs by regex
An absolute filename for a *.deb file starts with a /. A package with
the name of the file is inserted in the cache which is provided by the
"real" package for internal reasons. The pinning code detects a regex
based wildcard by having the regex start with /. That is no problem
as a / can not be included in a package name… expect that our virtual
filename package can and does.
We fix this two ways actually: First, a regex is only being considered a
regex if it also ends with / (we don't support flags). That stops our
problem with the virtual filename packages already, but to be sure we
also do not enter the loop if matcher and package name are equal.
It has to be noted that the creation of pins for virtual packages like
the here effected filename packages is pointless as only versions can be
pinned, but checking that a package is really purely virtual is too
costly compared to just creating an unused pin.
Without randomizing the order in which we download the index files we
leak needlessly information to the mirrors of which architecture is
native or foreign on this system. More importantly, we leak the order in
which description translations will be used which in most cases will e.g.
have the native tongue first.
Note that the leak effect in practice is limited as apt detects if a file
it wants to download is already available in the latest version from a
previous download and does not query the server in such cases. Combined
with the fact that Translation files are usually updated infrequently
and not all at the same time, so a mirror can never be sure if it got asked
about all files the user wants.
FreeBSD has two iconv systems: It ships an iconv.h itself,
and symbols for that in the libc. But there's also the port
of GNU libiconv, which unfortunately for us, Doxygen depends
on.
This changes things to prefer a separate libiconv library
over the system one; that is, the port on FreeBSD.
The host system might not have a dpkg installed, which makes
dpkg fail with:
dpkg not recorded as installed, cannot check for multi-arch support!
That's entirely useless of course. We want to know if dpkg could
support multi-arch in our chroot, so we pseudo-install dpkg into
the chroot and pretend it's version is one version higher than
the minimum dpkg version, so dpkg --assert-multi-arch works on
recent dpkgs.
test: Use printf "%b\n" instead of echo for strings with '\'
Use of echo with special characters is not portable. On a normal
POSIX system, the behavior with backslash escaped strings is
implementation-defined. On an XSI-conformant system, they must
be interpreted.
A way out is the printf command - printf "%b" specifies that
the following argument is to be printed with backslash escapes
interpreted.
Use /dev/fd in test-bug-712116-dpkg-pre-install-pkgs-hook-multiarch,
skip test-no-fds-leaked-to-maintainer-scripts (it is not guaranteed
that /dev/fd contains all file descriptors), and avoid the unneeded
use of /proc/fd in another test case.
This allows other vendors to use different paths, or to build
your own APT in /opt for testing. Note that this uses + 1 in
some places, as the paths we receive are absolute, but we need
to strip of the initial /.
Use C locale instead of C.UTF-8 for protocol strings
The C.UTF-8 locale is not portable, so we need to use C, otherwise
we crash on other systems. We can use std::locale::classic() for
that, which might also be a bit cheaper than using locale("C").
This basically just links everything to libintl if USE_NLS is
on. It would be better to just link those targets that are
actually translated, but doing so is a huge PITA.
Also move the include_directories() for the build-tree include/
directory to the top of the CMakeLists.txt, otherwise it only
gets passed after Intl_INCLUDE_DIRS, which means we will built
against installed apt-pkg headers (if any) instead of our own.
The BSD systems still ship their own db.h with a historical
BSD implementation, which is preferred by CMake, as it searches
its default path first. We thus have to disable the DEFAULT_PATH
for the search, unfortunately. We also need to pass the correct
include directory to the target.
Furthermore, on FreeBSD the library is called db-<VERSION>, so
let's add db-5 to the list of allowed names.
