Fix crash with empty architecture list

If the architecture list is empty somehow, fail normally. LP: #1549819

pass versioned provides to external solvers in EDSP

2016-02-16T10:42:29Z

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.

always download changelogs into /tmp first

2016-02-11T22:13:47Z

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

2016-02-11T20:07:56Z

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.

get dpkg lock in build-dep if cache was invalid again

2016-02-10T12:03:00Z

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.

Set seekpos to 0 after reopening files in Seek()

2016-02-10T11:48:37Z

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. Closes: #812994, #813000

Use some semantically more correct buffer operations

2016-02-04T17:34:42Z

When writing into the buffer write to free() bytes starting at getend(), instead of buffersize_max bytes at get() -> get() is a read pointer. This makes no difference in practice though, as we reset the buffer before the call, so start = end = 0. Gbp-Dch: ignore

Correctly report write errors when flushing buffered writer

2016-02-04T17:00:42Z

We cannot just return false without setting an error, as InternalWrite does not set one itself.
