dpkg 1.19.0.4ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.19.0.4ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from current Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
      until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
    - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
      tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
      same time having translated debconf prompts.
    - Special-case arm{el,hf} ELF objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm for multilib.
    - Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
      arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
      when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
    - Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
      during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
    - dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.

dpkg (1.19.0.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Perl modules:
    - Check that $tarname is defined before use in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1.
      Thanks to Christoph Biedl <email address hidden>.
      Closes: #879124
  * Packaging:
    - Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
      wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
    - Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
      that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
      from Dpkg::Source::Package.
      Reported by Ian Jackson <email address hidden>.

dpkg (1.19.0.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Pass the correct source stanza to the dpkg-buildpackage code parsing the
    Rules-Requires-Root field. This meant the field was being ignored.
  * Setup and check rootcommand in dpkg-buildpackage only if it is going to
    be needed. Reported by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
  * Documentation:
    - Add a missing dot on the dpkg-buildflags(1) «lfs» feature paragraph.
      Spotted by Helge Kreutzmann <email address hidden>.
  * Packaging:
    - Comment out Rules-Requires-Root field until debhelper supports it.

dpkg (1.19.0.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix logic in dpkg-buildpackage to decide whether to run build targets,
    which broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
    Thanks to James Clarke <email address hidden>. Closes: #878899
  * Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
    builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <email address hidden>.
  * Packaging:
    - Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
      that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
      obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919

dpkg (1.19.0.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Packaging:
    - Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
  * Test suite:
    - Skip Dpkg::OpenPGP test if gpg is not present.

dpkg (1.19.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Remove an unused variable in dpkg-shlibdeps.
    Thanks to Niels Thykier <email address hidden>.
  * Parse start-stop-daemon usernames and groupnames starting with digits in
    -u and -c correctly. Reported by Bodo Eggert <email address hidden>.
  * Cache the result of «dpkg-query --control-path» calls in dpkg-shlibdeps.
    Based on a patch by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>. Closes: #846405
  * Always use the binary version for the .buildinfo filename in
    dpkg-genbuildinfo. Reported by Raphaël Hertzog <email address hidden>.
    Closes: #869236
  * Fix integer overflow in deb(5) format version parser.
    Closes: #868356
  * Re-enable upstream tar signatures when building source format 1.0.
  * Make dpkg-deb --build sanity check the config maintainer script file type
    and permissions.
  * Add support to dpkg-deb for rootless builds, by setting the owner and
    group for the control.tar entries to root:root, and making it possible to
    do the same for the data.tar entries via the new --root-owner-group option.
    Based on a patch by Niels Thykier <email address hidden>. Closes: #291320
  * Make dpkg-buildpackage error out if --as-root is passed without
    --rules-target.
  * Add support for rootless builds in dpkg-buildpackage by honoring the
    Rules-Requires-Root (R³) field.
  * Add new dpkg-buildflags --query command, which is like --status but in
    deb822 format.
  * Remove long obsolete dselect floppy method.
  * Remove traces of non-US support from dselect methods.
  * Add support for a new Build-Kernel-Version field in .buildinfo files,
    that can be emitted with a new dpkg-genbuildinfo --always-include-kernel
    option. Closes: #873937
  * Make dpkg-genchanges honor substvars in .changes Description field.
    Closes: #856547
  * Add support for source package Description and substvars. This new
    field in the debian/control source stanza will be copied into the .dsc
    file, and will also be used to initialize the new source:Synopsis and
    source:Extended-Description substvars that will be available when
    generating the DEBIAN/control and .changes files. Closes: #555743
  * Add new “future” feature area in dpkg-buildflags:
    - Add new «lfs» feature, to be used instead of the getconf(1) interface
      which cannot support cross-building.
  * Add new buildtools.mk make fragment to support build tools variable
    setup, for both TOOL and TOOL_FOR_BUILD variables. Not included by
    default from default.mk.
  * Make --uniform-compression the new default dpkg-deb behavior. Add support
    for negating the option via --no-uniform-compression.
  * Clarify subprocess error message by shuffling words around.
  * Print the package name on maintainter script errors. Closes: #877521
  * Fix capitalization of Debian in dpkg-deb output messages.
  * Add a policikit file for running update-alternatives via pkexec.
    Propose by Boyuan Yang <email address hidden>.
  * Perl modules:
    - Switch from Dpkg::Util to List::Util, now that the module in the
      new required Perl contains the needed functions.
    - Add a new "unique_tuple_key" option to Dpkg::Index set_options() to
      set better default "get_key_func" options, which will become the default
      behavior in 1.20.x. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <email address hidden>.
    - Mark ppc64 and powerpc as having gcc builtin PIE in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
    - Make the Dpkg::Substvars warnings output deterministic.
      Thanks to Chris Lamb <email address hidden>. Closes: #870221

      modules if we are going to use them, reducing the load time of many
      other modules.

      use colors, reducing the load time of many other modules.
    - Move color setup into report_pretty in Dpkg::ErrorHandling.
    - Move printforhelp initialization into usageerr() in Dpkg::ErrorHandling.
    - Avoid many function arguments in Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile parse().

      so that we can load Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle only when enabled.
    - Disable decompression support for Dpkg::Vendor origin files.
    - Move file_lock() function into a new Dpkg::Lock module, to reduce the
      module load chain for several Dpkg modules.
    - Add support for new DPKG_NLS environment variable in Dpkg::Gettext,
      that when set to 0 will disable NLS (i18n) support in the Dpkg modules,
      and reduce the load chain.
    - Disable compression when using the default file in
      Dpkg::Changelog::Parse.
    - Mark all missing CTRL_INDEX_SRC and CTRL_INDEX_PKG fields as allowed
      in Dpkg::Control::FieldsCore.

      in Dpkg::Control::HashCore parse method.
    - Optimize trailing space matching on Dpkg::Control::HashCore parse
      method, by trimming it just once at the beginning of the iteration.
    - Optimize trailing space trimming on Dpkg::Control::HashCore parse
      method, by requiring that at least one whitespace is present.
    - Optimize first character matching in Dpkg::Control::HashCore parse
      method, by storing the first character in a variable.
    - Optimize field/value parsing in Dpkg::Control::HashCore parse method,
      by switching from a capturing regex to split() plus a checking regex.
    - Auto-convert binary signatures to OpenPGP ASCII Armor in
      Dpkg::Source::Package when building source packages.
    - Switch Dpkg::Source::Package::V3 modules to use find_command() instead
      of ad-hoc code.

      present. Addresses: #877688
    - Unify Dpkg::ErrorHandling subprocess errors with the ones from libdpkg.

      Closes: #856396
    - Do not normalize args past a passthrough stop word in Dpkg::Getopt.
      Some commands pass some arguments through to another command, and
      those must not be normalized as that might break their invocation.
