pass --force-remove-essential to dpkg only if needed

2016-08-10T21:18:04Z

APT (usually) knows which package is essential or not, so we can avoid passing this force flag to dpkg unconditionally if the user hasn't chosen a non-default essential handling obscuring the information.

don't sent uninstallable rc-only versions via EDSP

2016-05-10T12:51:30Z

Versions which are only available in dpkg/status aren't installable and apt doesn't pick them as candidate for this reason – for the same reason such packages shouldn't be sent to an external solver via EDSP. The packages are pinned to -1, but if the solver has strict pinning disabled it could end up picking this version anyhow – which is a request apt can not satisfy.

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

remove available file to have same dpkg -l behavior

2015-05-11T15:22:32Z

dpkg -l < 1.16.2 loads the available file and hence sees a package which later versions do not see, leading to failures on travis-ci. The different versions also have slightly different messages. Git-Dch: Ignore

test exitcode as well as string equality

2015-03-16T17:01:54Z

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for a specific output as well. Git-Dch: Ignore

correct architecture detection for 'rc' packages for purge

2014-12-07T18:12:51Z

We were already considering these cases, but the code was flawed, so that packages changing architectures are incorrectly handled and hence the wrong architecture is used to call dpkg with, so that dpkg says the package isn't installed (which it isn't for the requested architecture). Closes: 770898

add chronic-like testsuccess/testfailure helpers

2013-08-12T16:01:37Z

For many commands the output isn't stable (like then dpkg is called) but the exitcode is, so this helper enhances the common && msgpass || msgfail by generating automatically a msgtest and showing the output of the command in case of failure instead of discarding it unconditionally, the later being chronic-like behaviour Git-Dch: Ignore

run integration tests on my new amd64 box without failures

* apt-pkg/depcache.cc:

- really include 'rc' packages in the delete count by fixing a typo which exists since 1999 in the source… (LP: #761175)
