Bug Description
(This is a template for now, so I can close the bug in the 1.2.14 upload)
[Impact]
We intend to upload APT 1.2.14 to xenial under the new "micro upstream release" policy.
Apart from fixing bug 1573547, it also updates translations fixes the following other bugs:
[[1.2.13]]
Segmentation fault fixes:
* fail instead of segfault on unreadable config files (Closes: 824503)
Fixes for 3rd party programs using libapt and C++ locale API:
* prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (Closes: #825396)
Fix for hurd (not really affecting us here, but upstream):
* apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs.
Thanks to Samuel Thibault for 'finding' the culprit! (Closes: 826043)
Leak fixes:
* do not hang on piped input in PipedFileFdPrivate
* don't leak an FD in lz4 (de)compression
* don't leak FD in AutoProxyDetect command return parsing
[[1.2.14]]
Regression fix from 1.2.13:
* do not error if auto-detect-proxy cmd has no output (Closes: 827713)
Huge apt-ftparchive performance regression fix from 1.1:
* Reinstate caching of file hashes in apt-ftparchive (Closes: #806924)
Tiny bug fixes, about 2 lines each:
* source: if download is skipped, don't try to unpack
* ensure filesize of deb is included in the hashes list
[Test case]
The releases follow new upstream micro release rule and thus are assumed to be tested by our integration test suite. There are two exceptions which cannot be tested:
* prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs
* apt-key: change to / before find to satisfy its CWD needs
The first has no affected code in the archive (but maybe 3rd party code), the second only affects hurd.
[Regression Potential]
Very low. The release has been tested by a thorough integration test suite on Travis CI, Debian autopkgtests, and has been in Debian unstable since 2016-06-22.
