Use pkgTagSection::Key in more places in src:apt

2022-04-01T12:16:19Z

The speed critical paths were converted earlier, but the remaining could benefit a tiny bit from this as well especially as we have the facility now available and can therefore brush up the code in various places in the process as well. Also takes the time to add the hidden Exists method advertised in the headers, but previously not implemented.

Warn if the legacy trusted.gpg keyring is used for verification

2022-02-22T17:25:06Z

With apt-key going away, people need to manage key files, rather than keys, so they need to know if any keys are in the legacy keyring.

Use short options for cmp

2021-11-26T14:33:06Z

In order to be consistent with other uses of cmp and to improve compatiblity with other implementations, like busybox one, change long options to short ones. Signed-off-by: Walter Lozano

Use `command -v` instead of `which`

2021-11-03T22:02:41Z

`which` has been deprecated in debianutils 5.0+. The recommended replacement, `command -v`, is mandated by Debian policy these days, in addition to being required by POSIX and its predecessor specs at least since 1994. Not found commands cause no output from `command -v` per POSIX, so remove the redundant 2>&1's while at it.

Inhibit autoremove calculation in apt-mark and apt show

2021-08-28T20:21:35Z

As we never display the information in these code paths there isn't a lot of point in calculating it first saving us some precious CPU cycles. References: d6f3458badf2cfea3ca7de7632ae31daff5742be

Call MarkAndSweep only manually in apt-get for autoremove

2021-04-26T11:00:24Z

An interactive tool like aptitude needs these flags current far more often than we do as a user can see them in apt only in one very well defined place – the autoremove display block – so we don't need to run it up to four times while a normal "apt install" is processed as that is just busywork. The effect on runtime is minimal, as a single run doesn't take too long anyhow, but it cuts down tremendously on debug output at the expense of requiring some manual handholding. This is opt-in so that aptitude doesn't need to change nor do we need to change our own tools like "apt list" where it is working correctly as intended. A special flag and co is needed as we want to prevent the ActionGroup inside pkgDepCache::Init to be inhibited already so we need to insert ourselves while the DepCache is still in the process of being built. This is also the reason why the debug output in some tests changed to all unmarked, but that is fine as the marking could have been already obsoleted by the actions taken, just inhibited by a proper action group.
