* fix M-A:foreign provides creation for unknown archsDavid Kalnischkies2016-01-141-1/+7
| | | | | | | | Architectures for packages which do not belong to the native nor a foreign architecture (dubbed barbarian for now) which are marked M-A:foreign still provide in their own architecture even if not for others. Also, other M-A:foreign (and allowed) packages provide in these barbarian architectures.
* tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIRDavid Kalnischkies2015-12-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | 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

* implement dpkgs vision of interpreting pkg:<arch> dependenciesDavid Kalnischkies2015-09-141-17/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | How the Multi-Arch field and pkg:<arch> dependencies interact was discussed at DebConf15 in the "MultiArch BoF". dpkg and apt (among other tools like dose) had a different interpretation in certain scenarios which we resolved by agreeing on dpkg view – and this commit realizes this agreement in code. As was the case so far libapt sticks to the idea of trying to hide MultiArch as much as possible from individual frontends and instead translates it to good old SingleArch. There are certainly situations which can be improved in frontends if they know that MultiArch is upon them, but these are improvements – not necessary changes needed to unbreak a frontend. The implementation idea is simple: If we parse a dependency on foo:amd64 the dependency is formed on a package 'foo:amd64' of arch 'any'. This package is provided by package 'foo' of arch 'amd64', but not by 'foo' of arch 'i386'. Both of those foo packages provide each other through (assuming foo is M-A:foreign) to allow a dependency on 'foo' to be satisfied by either foo of amd64 or i386. Packages can also declare to provide 'foo:amd64' which is translated to providing 'foo:amd64:any' as well. This indirection over provides was chosen as the alternative would be to teach dependency resolvers how to deal with architecture specific dependencies – which violates the design idea of avoiding resolver changes, especially as architecture-specific dependencies are a cornercase with quite a few subtil rules. Handling it all over versioned provides as we already did for M-A in general seems much simpler as it just works for them. This switch to :any has actually a "surprising" benefit as well: Even frontends showing a package name via .Name() [which doesn't show the architecture] will display the "architecture" for dependencies in which it was explicitely requested, while we will not show the 'strange' :any arch in FullName(true) [= pretty-print] either. Before you had to specialcase these and by default you wouldn't get these details shown. The only identifiable disadvantage is that this complicates error reporting and handling. apt-get's ShowBroken has existing problems with virtual packages [it just shows the name without any reason], so that has to be worked on eventually. The other case is that detecting if a package is completely unknown or if it was at least referenced somewhere needs to acount for this "split" – not that it makes a practical difference which error is shown… but its one of the improvements possible.
* M-A: allowed pkgs of unconfigured archs do not statisfy :anyDavid Kalnischkies2015-09-141-0/+35
| | | | | | We parse all architectures we encounter recently, which means we also parse packages from architectures which are neither native nor foreign, but still came onto the system somehow (usually via heavy force).

* just-in-time creation for (implicit) ProvidesDavid Kalnischkies2015-08-101-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g. by creating package structures which otherwise would have never existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively similar for dependencies already. Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and architectures we 'just' happen to parse. Git-Dch: Ignore

| * parse specific-arch dependencies correctly on single-arch systemsDavid Kalnischkies2015-04-121-50/+109
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On single-arch the parsing was creating groupnames like 'apt:amd64' even through it should be 'apt' and a package in it belonging to architecture amd64. The result for foreign architectures was as expected: The dependency isn't satisfiable, but for native architecture it means the wrong package (ala apt:amd64:amd64) is linked so this is also not satisfiable, which is very much not expected. No longer excluding single-arch from this codepath allows the generation of the correct links, which still link to non-exisiting packages for foreign dependencies, but natives link to the expected native package just as if no architecture was given. For negative arch-specific dependencies ala Conflicts this matter was worse as apt will believe there isn't a Conflict to resolve, tricking it into calculating a solution dpkg will refuse. Architecture specific positive dependencies are rare in jessie – the only one in amd64 main is foreign –, negative dependencies do not even exist. Neither class has a native specimen, so no package in jessie is effected by this bug, but it might be interesting for stretch upgrades. This also means the regression potential is very low.

|/ | | | | | | | 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

| | | | - ignore foreign architectures if we check if a provides has only one resolver as it's basically the same for the user, so no need to choose
* * apt-pkg/depcache.cc:David Kalnischkies2011-11-231-0/+128
- prefer native providers over foreigns even if the chain is foreign The code preferred real over virtual packages and based on priorities. This is changed in so far that a real package from any arch is preferred over any virtual provider and if priorities doesn't help in choosing the best provider we choose it based on architectures
