We do not follow the recommendation with regards to placement
of documentation in apt-doc, as we install in apt-doc, but
it's only a recommendation and I don't want think we should
move them.
get group again after potential remap in Source: parse
Mysteriously segfaults only on i386 for me, but at least one reporter
had the same behavior and it makes sense that this is the problem as the
parsing of Source: was fixed in 1.2.2 – before the not remapped group
was not used.
We don't use our usual Dynamic<> trick here as we don't have it in the
parser. Its a bit of a layer violation to do this parsing here, but its
how it is always was…
Until next time with this lovely kind of problem.

Prevent double remapping of iterators and string views
If an iterator or a stringview has multiple dynamic objects
registered with it, it may be remapped twice. Prevent that
by noting which iterators/views we have seen and not remapping
one if we have already seen it.
We most likely do not have any instance of multiple dynamics
on a single object, but let's play safe - the overhead is not
high.
do not move not-failed pdiff-patches into CWD on failure
If a single pdiff fails, we have to fail the entire patching endeavour
and fall back to getting the complete file instead. That is easy in
serverside merged pdiffs as we get them one by one. For clientside we
get them all at once through, which means that a failure in one has to
stop the entire pipeline, which works as expected (as proven by the
bugreporters as they don't even notice it happening). The problem is
just that the first failing pdiff will do the cleanup, so another pdiff
which happens to be successfully acquired after we processed the failure
doesn't find the file it is supposed to use as a basename anymore, so
the patch is renamed to what should be the unique extension and moved
into the current working directory. Processing is then stopped as the
patch realizes that it isn't the last one which completed downloading.
On the plus side this means this is neither us using a bad temporary
location nor a security problem. It "just" overrides unconditionally
files in your current working directory (if you happen to have them
named like a pdiff patch – a bit unlikely perhaps) and so drops files
there which are never used again.
I guess this was introduced in 4e3c5633b1e74b4f58b95f339cfbbf4cbf21ab3e
for real as I made the need for the existence of the base file rather
explicit, but the potential lingers in the code for far longer.

Fix lzma write support to handle "try again" case
The liblzma-based write code needs the same tweaks that the read code
already has to cope with the situation where lzma_code returns zero the
first time through because avail_out is zero, but will do more work if
called again.
This ports the read tweaks to the write code as closely as possible
(including matching comments etc.).
add test for apt-key 0xKEY and use parameter expansion
Fixed in f7bd44bae0d7cb7f9838490b5eece075da83899e already, but the
commit misses the Closes tag and while we are at it we can add a simple
regression test and micro-optimize it a bit.
Thanks: James McCoy for the suggestion. Closes: 816691
support APT::Get::Build-Dep-Automatic again in build-dep
In a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16 I dropped with the manual
first resolver step also the support for installing build-deps as
automatic in such a way that it behaved like this option was enabled by
default.
Restoring support for it means that we go back to mark build-
dependencies as manually installed again by default and provide this
option to keep them as automatically installed.
Changelogs are relatively small and we have no hashes for them, but we
had partial support for them before, so lets stick to it.
This also deletes the (partial) file before moving the downloaded file
into its place – rename(2) should be doing this by itself, but testing
on semaphoreci suggests that this isn't always the case (error is "Stale
file handle") and we don't need an atomic replace here, so be explicit.
pass versioned provides to external solvers in EDSP
The EDSP output generated by apt didn't include the versioned provides
information so that every provides looked like an unversioned one in the
eyes of an external resolver.
pkgAcqChangelog has the default behaviour of downloading a changelog to
a temporary directory (inside /tmp, not /tmp directly), which is cleaned
up on shutdown, but this can be overridden to store the changelog more
permanently – but that caries a permission problem.
For changelog we can 'easily' solve this by always downloading to a
temporary directory and only move it out of there on done.
use local changelog from /usr/share/doc if possible
If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it
will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will
use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz
compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web.
An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for
the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts
--print-uris action.
test: use our special downloaded dir for 'source' result
Otherwise the test run as root fails seeing the
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 'foo_1.tar.gz' couldn't be
accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
warning in a command which isn't supposed to warn.
get dpkg lock in build-dep if cache was invalid again
Regression introduced in a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16, which
in the case of an invalid cache would build the first part unlocked and
later pick up the (still unlocked) cache for further processing, so the
system got never locked and apt would end up complaining about being
unable to release the lock at shutdown.
The far more common case of having a valid cache worked as expected and
hence covered up the problem – especially as tests who would have
noticed it are simulations only, which do not lock.

If we just reopened the file, we also need to reset the current
seek position when we reset the buffer, otherwise the code will
not try to seek to the position given to Skip (from 0), but will
try to seek to old offset + the position given to skip.
avoid building dependency tree in 'source' command
We don't need the dependencies for obvious reasons and we don't need the
candidate version either, so building a pkgDepCache is wasted effort,
which we can stop doing now that build-dep cleared the path.
The later just calls the earlier, but the later needs the fullblown
dependency cache to be initialized, which is a very costly operation and
isn't done anymore that early in the run as we would need to throw away
and rebuild it again after we got all the information about source pkgs.
As we end up with a nullptr for the pkgDepCache, we use a slightly
longer calling convention to make sure that we use the pkgCache
directly, avoiding nullptr induced segfaults and costly operations.
It's a fairly expensive call and it's called on every package,
even though it's usually only used when we're interested in
a small number of packages.
Long description is currently only shown by this function
when using `apt search X --full`.
On my PC, this patch speeds up `apt list` by roughly 20%
and `apt list --installed` by 1-2%.
simple_buffer::write: Use free() instead of maxsize - size()
We want to check whether the amount of free space is smaller
than the requested write size. Checking maxsize - size() is
incorrect for bufferstart >= 0, as size() = end - start.
support <libc>-<kernel>-<cpu> in architecture specs
APT has a different understanding than dpkg (#748936) what matches and
what doesn't match an architecture specification as it isn't converting
back (and forward) to Debian triplets. That has to eventually be solved
some way or the other, but until that happens we change the matching in
apt so that porters can continue their work on non-gnu libc-ports even
if policy doesn't specify that yet (and dpkg just supporting it "by
accident" via triplets).
The initial patch was reformatted, fixed in terms of patterns containing
"any-any", dealing with expanding an arch without libc to gnu while a
pattern expands libc to any, the parsedepends test was fixed (the new
if's were inserted one step too early) and another test just for the
specifications added.
Closes: #812212

only warn about missing/invalid Date field for now
The Date field in the Release file is useful to avoid allowing an
attacker to 'downgrade' a user to earlier Release files (and hence to
older states of the archieve with open security bugs). It is also needed
to allow a user to define min/max values for the validation of a Release
file (with or without the Release file providing a Valid-Until field).
APT wasn't formally requiring this field before through and (agrueable
not binding and still incomplete) online documentation declares it
optional (until now), so we downgrade the error to a warning for now to
give repository creators a bit more time to adapt – the bigger ones
should have a Date field for years already, so the effected group should
be small in any case.
It should be noted that earlier apt versions had this as an error
already, but only showed it if a Valid-Until field was present (or the
user tried to used the configuration items for min/max valid-until).
deal better with (very) small apt::cache-start values
It is a bit academic to support values which aren't big enough to fit even
the hashtables without resizing, but cleaning up ensures that we do the
right thing (aka not segfaulting) even if something goes wrong in these
deep layers. You still can't have very very small values through…
get sources for packages in multiple releases again
In 321213f0dcdcdaab04e01663e7a047b261400c9c Andreas Cadhalpun corrected
the incorrect overriding of earlier better-fitting results with later
(semi-)matches – but that broke the case in which packages are in multiple
releases in the same version (and the user has both releases configured).
In commit a221efc331693f8905da870141756c892911c433 I promoted the source
package name and version to the binary cache for faster access by e.g.
EDSP, but due to changing the interpretation length to soon we always
ignored the version part of the Source field, so that packages ended up
having the binary version as source version – which while usually just
fine it is wrong for binary rebuilds.
Avoid the dependency on a specific current path for the tar test and
ensure that _system is correctly initialized (gcc-6 runs into a segfault
otherwise and with it fixed starts to depend on the multi-arch
configuration of the running system… not good).
drop explicit check for EWOULDBLOCK if it has the same value as EAGAIN
gcc correctly reports that we check for the same value twice, expect
that the manpage of read(2) tells us to do it for portability, so to
make both sides happy lets add a little #if'ing here.
This would mess up reference counting and should not be allowed
(it could be implemented correctly, but it would not be efficient
and we do not need it).
build-dep was implemented by parsing the build-dependencies of a package
and figuring out which packages to install/remove based on this. That
means that for the first level of dependencies build-dep was
implementing its very own resolver with all the benefits (aka: bugs)
this gives us for not using the existing resolver for all levels.
Making this work involves generating a dummy binary package with fitting
Depends and Conflicts and as we can't create them out of thin air the
cache generation needs to be involved so we end up writing a Packages
file which we want to parse – after we have parsed the other Packages
files already. With .dsc/.deb files we could add them before we started
parsing anything.
With a bit of care we can avoid generating too much data we have to
throw away again (as many parts assume that e.g. the count of packages
doesn't change midair), so that on a speed front there shouldn't be
much of a difference, but output can be slightly confusing as if we have
a completely valid cache on disk the "Reading package lists... Done" is
printed two times – but apt is pretty quick about it in that case.
use consistently the last : as name:arch separator
Proper debian packages do not contain ':' in the package name, so for
real packages this is a non-issue, but apt itself frequently makes use
of packages with such an illegal name for internal proposes.
If you have chosen to install a foreign architecture provider it is
more reasonable to keep this provider instead of removing this one to
replace it with a newer version from a (usually) more preferred arch.
To resolve dependencies like "pkg:arch" we create a package with the
name "pkg:arch" and the architecture "any". We create these packages
only if a dependency needs it as these kind of dependencies aren't that
common. This commit ensured that in the even this architecture specific
dependency is the only relation this package has we still create the
underlying package to have them available in provides resolution.
I only looked at parameters in the previous commit, which was
not enough: One place also generated local string views. In this
case, we only need to make ArchA dynamic, as NameA is not used
after the FindPkg() call.
Remap StringView instances pointing into the cache
It turns out that StringViews might need to be remapped in some
places because they come from the cache. For example, some sites
pass a Ver.VerStr() to NewProvides().
Such a StringView would become invalid during the duration of
the call if the cache is remapped, causing the program to die
with a segmentation fault.
We can take care of those issues by remapping string views in
the same way we remap all the iterators. String views are only
remapped if they point into the cache though, this allows us
to write more generic code on the callee site without having
to check whether the view points into the cache or not.
That's not as efficient as possible, but the overhead does not
appear to be measurable.
string_view: Drop constexpr constructor for standard compatibility
APT::StringView is supposed to be a temporary measure, until support
for the standardized string_view is widely available. Introducing
additional unstandardized features just makes porting to the
standard version harder.
The constexpr constructor also won't have any real effect on most
systems, as the compiler will happily optimise the strlen() call
away for constant strings.
return correct position in APT::StringView::(r)find
The position returned is supposed to be the position of the character
counted from the start of the string, but if we used the substr calling
overloads the skipped over prefix wasn't considered. The pos parameter
of rfind had also the wrong semantic.
Introduced in 9d2a8a7388cf3b0bbbe92f6b0b30a533e1167f40 apt tries to
merge actions like downloading the same (as judged by hashes) file
into doing it once. The implementation was very simple in that it isn't
planing at all. Turns out that it works 90% of the time just fine, but
has issues in more complicated situations in which items can be in
different stages downloading different files emitting potentially the
"wrong" hash – like while pdiffs are worked on we might end up copying
the patch instead of the result file giving us very strange errors in
return. Reverting the change until we can implement a better planing
solution seems to be the best course of action even if its sad.
fix M-A:foreign provides creation for unknown archs
Architectures for packages which do not belong to the native nor a
foreign architecture (dubbed barbarian for now) which are marked
M-A:foreign still provide in their own architecture even if not for
others. Also, other M-A:foreign (and allowed) packages provide in these
barbarian architectures.
evaluate sourceslist-list-format entity in vendors sources.list
Parsing XML entity files in shell isn't exactly nice and causing the
substitution with a while-read loop isn't either, but it seems to be
good enough for the moment without changing too much.
If a package has no description, we would crash in search. While
this should not happen, there seem to be some weird cases where
it does.
A safer way might be to make the whole parser thing safe
against this, so pkgRecords::Lookup(Desc.FileList()) works
and returns a parser where all values are empty. This would
also fix all other instances of this bug, if there are any.
