* apt: Introduce the new terse apt output format 3.0Julian Andres Klode2024-04-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The key talking points here are: 1. Instead of long sentences, we use short concise messages, e.g. "The following NEW packages will be installed" becomes "Installing". 2. Dependencies are only listed once. We removed the "The following additional packages will be installed" section in favor of splitting up the "Installing" section into "Installing" and "Installing dependencies" (like dnf) 3. The order of the output is different: 1. Packages to be installed manually 2. Packages to be installed automatically 4. Weak dependencies of new packages not installed 3. Packages to be upgraded 4. Packages to be downgraded 5. Packages that have been kept back / are on hold 6. Removals 7. Essential removals i.e. we logically show you the action that is being done, followed by lists related to the action. 4. As requested by popey, we have colorful UI, with green for packages being installed and red for packages being removed. Caveats: - The list of recommends and suggests has not been updated yet, it should move to after the packages being installed (as they are what triggers them) This also introduces output format versioning, configured by the APT::Output-Format option. The default value is 0, except for the apt(8) binary where it is 30 - which enables the new style.
* OpProgress: Erase lines when doneJulian Andres Klode2024-04-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | It's interesting to the user to see the progress when it happens, but arguably once it's done it is just visual clutter, so let's not write newlines, and when we are done, instead of appending "Done", let's just empty the line. This requires some effort to keep apt-cdrom happy which just writes lines to stdout itself. Bad apt-cdrom. Maybe there is a better fix for it, but this gets us going.
* Columnar output for package lists similar to 'ls'Christian Blichmann2024-04-122-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change makes it a bit easier to quickly grasp the changes about to be performed by apt. It displays package lists in a columnar format by default, similar to what `ls` produces for files. A new long option `--no-list-columns` and an associated `APT::Get::List-Columns` config setting control the behavior. Usage example, with 60 column wide terminal: ``` $ sudo apt upgrade | Reading package lists... Done | Building dependency tree... Done | Reading state information... Done | Calculating upgrade... Done | The following packages were automatically installed and are | no longer required: | libappindicator1 libindicator7 | libdbusmenu-gtk4 linux-image-5.14.0-4-amd64 | Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. | The following packages have been kept back: | criu linux-headers-amd64 nvidia-settings | libxnvctrl0 nvidia-modprobe xwayland | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgrade| d. | ``` The effect becomes more pronounced with more packages (e.g. when doing a dist-upgrade).
* Fix and unfuzzy previous VCG/Graphviz URI changeDavid Kalnischkies2024-03-308-96/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The Graphviz change adapted only the msgstrs in the po files, which fuzzied all translations the moment the msgids were updated by the merge while forgetting fr.po and pl.po and in the VCG change the msgstr in the ja.po was missed. This commit "just" unfuzzies the strings (and fixes the missed ones) so the translators don't have to as intended in the commits.

* Remove non-existent Debug::BuildDeps from apt.conf(5)David Kalnischkies2024-03-0710-72/+35
| | | | | | | | | The option was removed in 2016 along with the code surrounding it, as the special build-deps specific solver was replaced with reusing our generic solver(s). As such, the normal debug options for these apply here nowadays instead of requiring another one to be set as well. References: a249b3e6fd798935a02b769149c9791a6fa6ef16

In case the running kernel is the latest kernel, the previous kernel is kept. Any count lower than two is therefore disregarded. This is in line with the previous behavior. The default is therefore similar to: APT::NeverAutoRemove::KernelCount 2; This will be ignored and we will still keep two: APT::NeverAutoRemove::KernelCount 1; This will keep 3 kernels (including the runnig, and most recent) APT::NeverAutoRemove::KernelCount 3; Signed-off-by: Wesley Schwengle <wesleys@opperschaap.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -a flag exists for apt-cache (--all-versions) and -a=arch is actually an (also documented) option to set host architecture – as the apt-get manpage documents further below setting a host arch makes sense only for those commands that actually need one set like source and build-dep, so other commands keep refusing the option as unsupported as they should be. So this commit does indeed just remove a single character from documentation with no other practical effect. See: #1061148

* Have Grp.FindPreferredPkg return very foreign pkgs as last resortDavid Kalnischkies2023-12-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually this method will return the package in the most preferred architecture (e.g. native) as that is usually what the user talks about and also information wise for our internal usage the most dense. Early on in parsing Packages files through it can happen that we encounter stanzas about packages in architectures we are not even configured to know about – we have to collect them anyhow as we might be requested to show info about them or they could be in the status file and we can't ignore stanzas in the status file… trouble is that this method used to not return anything if only such an architecture was present if we later discover other architectures which causes Provides and Conflicts which are added lazily on discovery of an architecture to not be added correctly. The result is like in the testcase that apt could be instructed to install a package without respecting its negative dependencies, which is bad even if its discovered by dpkg and refused. It does only happen with unknown architectures through which mostly happens if you are unlucky (amd64 users tend to be very lucky as that sorts early) and use flat-style repositories containing multiple architectures.
