apt/debian/tests, branch 2.3.8

Require dpkg >= 1.20.8

2021-04-21T09:49:50Z

We use a Breaks for the binary package instead of adding a versioned depends, as Breaks will cause apt solver to upgrade dpkg, while depends would make apt try to remove apt as first choice.

test: Use valgrind to ensure Acquire::Queue-Mode=access does not crash

2019-08-15T07:53:41Z

Unfortunately for us, apt update with Acquire::Queue-Mode=access does not always crash on a real system, so run the whole thing in valgrind.

Fix pkg-config-test autopkgtest

2019-06-17T16:29:55Z

Add pkg-config files for the apt-pkg and apt-inst libraries

2019-03-08T18:13:06Z

Closes: #439121

tests: install aptitude for test-method-mirror

2018-02-19T14:57:43Z

This is an optional dependency for the test, but the skipping of the test is very noisy and checking that an unchanged aptitude isn't downright exploding with our libapt isn't a bad idea either. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

debian/tests/control: Add dpkg so we get triggered by it

2017-10-26T11:21:23Z

We do want to get our autopkgtests triggered by dpkg uploads in Ubuntu, but this does not happen because we don't have an explicit dependency on it. Add one.

reset HOME, USER(NAME), TMPDIR & SHELL in DropPrivileges

2016-11-09T18:33:33Z

We can't cleanup the environment like e.g. sudo would do as you usually want the environment to "leak" into these helpers, but some variables like HOME should really not have still the value of the root user – it could confuse the helpers (USER) and HOME isn't accessible anyhow. Closes: 842877

tests/control: Handle the gpg1/gpg2 mess a bit better

2016-08-19T14:50:23Z

Hardcoding gpgv1 and gnupg1 breaks Ubuntu, because on Ubuntu, these packages do not exist yet. Instead allow gnupg (<< 2) for gnupg1 and gnupg2 for gnupg (>= 2), so we cover all potential combinations.

add the gpg-classic variant to the gpgv/gnupg or-group

2016-08-17T07:52:32Z

We need to support partial upgrades anyhow, so we have to deal with the different versions and your tests try to ensure that we do, so we shouldn't make any explicit higher requirements.
