apt-helper: Add a cat-file command for concatening files

This can automatically handle compressed files and is useful for stuff like apt-file.

avoid triggering gpg2 migration in apt-key

2015-12-19T22:04:34Z

The presents (even of an empty) secring.gpg is indication enough for gpg2 to tigger the migration code which not only produces a bunch of output on each apt-key call, but also takes a while to complete as an agent needs to be started and all that. We workaround the first part by forcing the migration to happen always in a call we forced into silence, but that leaves us with an agent to start all the time – with a bit of reordering we can make it so that we do not explicitly create the secring, but let gpg create it if needed, which prevents the migration from being triggered and we have at least a bit less of a need for an agent. Changes - even to public only keyrings - still require one, but such actions are infrequent in comparison to verification calls, so that should be a net improvement.

avoid evaluating shell in paths used in apt-key

2015-12-19T22:04:34Z

apt-key creates internally a script (since ~1.1) which it will call to avoid dealing with an array of different options in the code itself, but while writing this script it wraps the values in "", which will cause the shell to evaluate its content upon execution. To make 'use' of this either set a absolute gpg command or TMPDIR to something as interesting as: "/tmp/This is fü\$\$ing cràzy, \$(man man | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f1)\$!" If such paths can be encountered in reality is a different question…

part revert, part redo 'which' replacement

2015-12-06T23:09:10Z

In e75e5879 'replace "which" with "command -v" for portability' I missed that command -v isn't actually required to be available in debian, so for the 5 files we are using it: Two (abicheck/run_abi_test & test/integration/framework) are called in environments were I believe sh is at least dash or 'better' as the first one is "interactive" for apt developers and the later is sourced by ~200 tests in the same directory run by hand and ci-services – for the later we have pulled some uglier hacks for worser things already, so if there should actually end up needing something more compatible we will notice eventually (and the later actually had a command -v call for some time already and nobody came running). debian/rules and debian/apt.cron.daily I switched back to which as that is more or less debian-specific or at least highly non-critical. That leaves cmdline/apt-key.in with a bunch of calls where I will implement that functionality in shell as this is relatively short-lived as it is used to detect wget (for net-update, which Michael wants to revive and in that process will properly use apt-helper instead of wget) and to detect gpg vs. gpg2 systems, where the earlier is supposed to go away in the longrun (or the later, but by replacing the earlier…). [and this gpg/gpg2 detection is new in sid, so I have some sympathy for that being a problem now.] Thanks: Jakub Wilk for pointing out #747320

replace run-parts with find|sort to avoid debianutils usage

2015-12-06T13:46:11Z

After e75e5879 the reason for an implicit dependency on debianutils (which is essential for debian, but likely not on other systems) was just two uses of run-parts, which can be replaced with the a lot more portable find-piped-into-sort duo.

replace "which" with "command -v" for portability

2015-12-06T13:03:35Z

which is a debian specific tool packaged in debianutils (essential) while command is a shell builtin defined by POSIX. Closes: 807144 Thanks: Mingye Wang for the suggestion.
