do not move not-failed pdiff-patches into CWD on failure

2016-03-06T11:57:38Z

If a single pdiff fails, we have to fail the entire patching endeavour and fall back to getting the complete file instead. That is easy in serverside merged pdiffs as we get them one by one. For clientside we get them all at once through, which means that a failure in one has to stop the entire pipeline, which works as expected (as proven by the bugreporters as they don't even notice it happening). The problem is just that the first failing pdiff will do the cleanup, so another pdiff which happens to be successfully acquired after we processed the failure doesn't find the file it is supposed to use as a basename anymore, so the patch is renamed to what should be the unique extension and moved into the current working directory. Processing is then stopped as the patch realizes that it isn't the last one which completed downloading. On the plus side this means this is neither us using a bad temporary location nor a security problem. It "just" overrides unconditionally files in your current working directory (if you happen to have them named like a pdiff patch – a bit unlikely perhaps) and so drops files there which are never used again. I guess this was introduced in 4e3c5633b1e74b4f58b95f339cfbbf4cbf21ab3e for real as I made the need for the existence of the base file rather explicit, but the potential lingers in the code for far longer. Closes: #816837

add test for apt-key 0xKEY and use parameter expansion

2016-03-06T09:16:59Z

Fixed in f7bd44bae0d7cb7f9838490b5eece075da83899e already, but the commit misses the Closes tag and while we are at it we can add a simple regression test and micro-optimize it a bit. Thanks: James McCoy for the suggestion. Closes: 816691

support APT::Get::Build-Dep-Automatic again in build-dep

2016-03-06T08:39:30Z

In a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16 I dropped with the manual first resolver step also the support for installing build-deps as automatic in such a way that it behaved like this option was enabled by default. Restoring support for it means that we go back to mark build- dependencies as manually installed again by default and provide this option to keep them as automatically installed.

tests: expect no output while compiling noopchroot

This way we hopefully notice (new) warnings in this little helper. Git-Dch: Ignore

deal with partially downloaded changelogs

2016-03-06T08:39:30Z

Changelogs are relatively small and we have no hashes for them, but we had partial support for them before, so lets stick to it. This also deletes the (partial) file before moving the downloaded file into its place – rename(2) should be doing this by itself, but testing on semaphoreci suggests that this isn't always the case (error is "Stale file handle") and we don't need an atomic replace here, so be explicit. Git-Dch: Ignore

Fix crash with empty architecture list

2016-02-25T15:46:42Z

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.
