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.

That feels kinda wrong, but as a public interface there isn't much we can do about it and instead make it so that we get the special file /dev/null back we know how to deal with in such cases. 2016-05-20T07:37:24Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-05-20T07:37:24Z urn:sha1:fdf9eef4d96a18d0167708499c993e1174251e88 The report mentions "apt list --upgradable", but there are others which have inconsistent behavior ranging from segfaulting to doing something with the partial (and hence incomplete) data. We had a recent report about sources.list (#818628), this one mentions prefences, the obvious next step is conf files… so the testcase is adapted to check for all three in file and directory versions and run a bunch of commands each time which should all have more or less the same behavior in such a case (aka error out).

You're in one Ubuntu LTS release for compat testing, now we do not need you anymore. 2016-04-25T14:30:43Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-04-25T14:30:43Z urn:sha1:fd2e438b24f4ce153ee35a691ae5bcb7eb28cc98 Broken in the previous commit (69cea1ef2cfda3c4da79fd756a8edaf2be26998e). Adding a test and a comment to avoid future embarrassment.

This helps with the communication to EDSP solvers as they neither know about the rc-state (yet) nor that they shouldn't choose this version. Ideally they shouldn't be told about such versions at all as there is nothing to be solved here, but we will get there eventually. 2016-01-02T15:20:01Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-01-02T12:27:02Z urn:sha1:f6459e646f6fa45c34d1f13f37173ea4b92ffd5f apt_preferences and deb822-style sources used the specialized class pkgUserTagSection to deal with comments before/after a given stanza, but it couldn't deal with comments in the stanza at all. codesearch suggests that nobody else does and a vastely superior way of working with potentially commented files is implemented now, so we can officially discourage the use of the old incomplete hack class. 2015-11-05T11:21:33Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-11-04T20:08:55Z urn:sha1:258b9e512c4001e806c5c0966acecd3d742ec6e9 Reported-By: cppcheck Git-Dch: Ignore 2015-11-04T17:04:00Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-09-25T09:25:25Z urn:sha1:b49068c566d749130e023536d54588c948c16edf We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.
