Bug Description
The reported problem (who exist in the most versions of Ubuntu and Debian) apply to the tools, who's name begin with "dpkg-". I'll give the problem description, basing on the example of "dpkg-buildflags".
After running the dpkg-buildflags command with a propper parameter, in the terminal is displayed a list of compiler, linker, etc. flags, who differ themself from the ones with are set in the enviroment and with I wanted to use (instead of the displayed ones).
The problem that the enviroment aren't read in any way thru this programs and use only the "build-in" ones, with is a quite serrios issue because it may create vulnerabilities in the created archives or even software.
Changed in dpkg (Ubuntu): | |
