Fix crash with empty architecture list

If the architecture list is empty somehow, fail normally. LP: #1549819

pass versioned provides to external solvers in EDSP

2016-02-16T10:42:29Z

The EDSP output generated by apt didn't include the versioned provides information so that every provides looked like an unversioned one in the eyes of an external resolver.

always download changelogs into /tmp first

2016-02-11T22:13:47Z

pkgAcqChangelog has the default behaviour of downloading a changelog to a temporary directory (inside /tmp, not /tmp directly), which is cleaned up on shutdown, but this can be overridden to store the changelog more permanently – but that caries a permission problem. For changelog we can 'easily' solve this by always downloading to a temporary directory and only move it out of there on done.

use local changelog from /usr/share/doc if possible

2016-02-11T20:07:56Z

If pkgAcqChangelog is told to acquire the changelog for a version it will check first if this version is installed on the disk and if so will use the local changelog in /usr/share/doc (possibily/likely gz compressed) instead of downloading the file from the web. An option is provided to disable this, which is enabled by default for the Ubuntu vendor as they truncate the local changelogs – and for apts --print-uris action.

test: use our special downloaded dir for 'source' result

2016-02-10T13:17:06Z

Otherwise the test run as root fails seeing the W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file 'foo_1.tar.gz' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied) warning in a command which isn't supposed to warn. One trivial test, two fixups and still counting… Git-Dch: Ignore

accept any tarball compression in 814139 testcase

2016-02-10T12:50:40Z

Travis still uses a dpkg version which defaults to gz and as which compression is picked isn't all to important as long as one is just accept any. Git-Dch: Ignore

test that seeking to a position earlier in the file works

get dpkg lock in build-dep if cache was invalid again

2016-02-10T12:03:00Z

Regression introduced in a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16, which in the case of an invalid cache would build the first part unlocked and later pick up the (still unlocked) cache for further processing, so the system got never locked and apt would end up complaining about being unable to release the lock at shutdown. The far more common case of having a valid cache worked as expected and hence covered up the problem – especially as tests who would have noticed it are simulations only, which do not lock. Closes: 814139 Reported-By: Balint Reczey Reported-By: Helmut Grohne on IRC

test: Fix apt-key tests to work with current gpg 2.1

avoid building dependency tree in 'source' command

2016-02-03T13:56:49Z

We don't need the dependencies for obvious reasons and we don't need the candidate version either, so building a pkgDepCache is wasted effort, which we can stop doing now that build-dep cleared the path.
