edsp: support generic and solver-specific configs

2016-05-10T20:48:31Z

The spec was slightly inconsistent if the preferences setting is available only as generic or specific setting & the code only supported the specific one, while for the strict-pinning was only generic… As the usual pattern for apt is to have both options we adapt the spec and code to support both as well. This also adds a purely informal "Solver" field so in case the request is saved in a file, we know to which solver the sent preferences apply. Closes: 823918

update: Run Post-Invoke-Success if not all sources failed

2016-05-10T18:14:02Z

Failures can happen and APT regardless will do a partial cache update anyway. Because APT ensures that the list directory is in a sane state, it makes sense to also call success hooks if success was only partial - otherwise it loses sync with APT. Most importantly, this causes the appstream cache to be empty, see launchpad bug #1562733. This is somewhat overly optimistic though: As soon as any repository has nonexisting optional files, the missing optional files are also treated as success, which means a single broken repository without an InRelease file still runs Success hooks, even though it really should not.

Strip trailing commas for created signed-by fingerprint lists

This prevented some sources.list entries from working, an example of which can be found in the test.

Improve GetLocalitySortedVersionSet, speeds up apt search by 30%

don't sent uninstallable rc-only versions via EDSP

2016-05-10T12:51:30Z

Versions which are only available in dpkg/status aren't installable and apt doesn't pick them as candidate for this reason – for the same reason such packages shouldn't be sent to an external solver via EDSP. The packages are pinned to -1, but if the solver has strict pinning disabled it could end up picking this version anyhow – which is a request apt can not satisfy.

gpgv: show always webportal error on NODATA

2016-05-08T17:46:34Z

gpg doesn't give use a UID on NODATA, which we were "expecting" (but not using for anything), but just an error number. Instead of collecting these as badsigners which will trigger a "invald signature" error with remarks like "NODATA 1" we instead adapt a message similar to the NODATA error of a clearsigned file (which is actually not reached anymore as we split them up, which fails with a NOSPLIT error, which uses the same general error message). In other words: Not a security relevant change, just a user experience improvement as we now point them to the most likely cause of the problem instead of saying "invalid signature" which would point them in the direction of the archive being broken (for everyone) instead. Closes: 823746

implement Identifier field for IndexTargets

2016-05-08T16:15:28Z

A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations for those files through it would need to select both and a user would need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration. The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can be used to give two indexes the same identifier.
