Set PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin when running dpkg

This avoids a lot of problems from local installations of scripting languages and other stuff in /usr/local for which maintainer scripts are not prepared. [v3: Inherit PATH during tests, check overrides work] [v2: Add testing]

Add support for /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/*.conf (netrcparts)

2018-12-04T16:48:41Z

This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d files, for example; very useful. This converts aptmethod's authfd from one FileFd to a vector of pointers to FileFd, as FileFd cannot be copied, and move operators are hard.

Allow setting Referer header for http method

2018-11-25T16:22:43Z

Not needed for common interactions, but for some download-file interactions it could be useful to set a specific referer as some servers do not serve requested files otherwise.

Lower default timeout from 120s to 30s

2018-05-24T12:31:31Z

120s is an insanely high default time out, lower it to 30s to make things a bit nicer.

apt-pkg: Add support for zstd

2018-03-12T07:56:59Z

zstd is a compression algorithm developed by facebook. At level 19, it is about 6% worse in size than xz -6, but decompression is multiple times faster, saving about 40% install time, especially with eatmydata on cloud instances.

Check that Date of Release file is not in the future

2018-02-19T15:05:01Z

By restricting the Date field to be in the past, an attacker cannot just create a repository from the future that would be accepted as a valid update for a repository. This check can be disabled by Acquire::Check-Date set to false. This will also disable Check-Valid-Until and any future date related checking, if any - the option means: "my computers date cannot be trusted." Modify the tests to allow repositories to be up to 10 hours in the future, so we can keep using hours there to simulate time changes.
