do not treat same-version local debs as downgrade

2016-07-01T12:33:02Z

As the volatile sources are parsed last they were sorted behind the dpkg/status file and hence are treated as a downgrade, which isn't really what you want to happen as from a user POV its an upgrade.

reinstalling local deb file is no downgrade

2016-07-01T11:36:40Z

If we have a (e.g. locally built) deb file installed and do try to install it again apt complained about this being a downgrade, but it wasn't as it is the very same version… it was just confused into not merging the versions together which looks like a downgrade then. The same size assumption is usually good, but given that volatile files are parsed last (even after the status file) the base assumption no longer holds, but is easy to adept without actually changing anything in practice.

tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIR

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore

require explicit paths to dsc/control as we do for deb files

2015-12-01T13:26:05Z

Otherwise a user is subject to unexpected content-injection depending on which directory she happens to start apt in. This also cleans up the code requiring less implementation details in build-dep which is always good. Technically, this is an ABI break as we override virtual methods, but that they weren't overridden was a mistake resulting in pure classes, which shouldn't be pure, so they were unusable – and as they are new in 1.1 nobody is using them yet (and hopefully ever as they are borderline implementation details). Closes: 806693

accept ../ on the cmdline as start for a deb file as well

do not use _apt for file/copy sources if it isn't world-accessible

2015-11-19T15:46:29Z

In 0940230d we started dropping privileges for file (and a bit later for copy, too) with the intend of uniforming this for all methods. The commit message says that the source will likely fail based on the compressors already – and there isn't much secret in the repository content. After all, after apt has run the update everyone can access the content via apt anyway… There are sources through which worked before which are mostly single-deb (and those with the uncompressed files available). The first one being especially surprising for users maybe, so instead of failing, we make it so that apt detects that it can't access a source as _apt and if so doesn't drop (for all sources!) privileges – but we limit this to file/copy, so the uncompress which might be needed will still fail – but that failed before this regression. We display a notice about this, mostly so that if it still fails (e.g. compressed) the user has some idea what is wrong. Closes: 805069

ignore newlines in dpkg-deb control output for installing debs

2015-11-04T17:42:28Z

Leading or trailing newlines can be confusing for our parser as it expects two newlines to start/stop a new stanza. To solve this the lines we wanna add are printed first, ignore any leading newlines and then add the stanza as provided by dpkg-deb with or without trailing newlines as the parser will look at the first stanza only anyway and removing trailing newlines is considerably harder to do. Closes: 802553

support .deb files in upgrade operations as well

2015-11-04T17:04:01Z

The main part is refactoring through to allow hiding the magic needed to support .deb files in deeper layers of libapt so that frontends have less exposure to Debian specific classes like debDebPkgFileIndex.
