Dpkg: Say class instead of object when appropriate
These were referring to the type and not the instance, which makes
using the incorrect nomenclature confusing.

Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
Date: Sat Oct 5 04:28:30 2019 +0200
Dpkg::Exit: Register exit handlers also for __DIE__
This makes sure we execute the handlers on normal errors, and can thus
remove the traps from several functions to run the handlers and to then
rethrow the exception.
commit ddb82d8bfe58e8a25444bdd772f534e0564efb3d
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
Date: Sat Oct 5 04:26:23 2019 +0200
Dpkg::Exit: Unregister all signal handlers once we have executed them
We should cleanup the handlers to the previous state otherwise we
end up changing the behavior globally, when this should be a local
cleanup behavior.

man: Move template symbol documentation into new deb-src-symbols(5)
Having the template symbols file format described in the dpkg-gensymbols
has been a continuous source of confusion for users, and makes
discovering it more difficult. Move it to its own man page, and link to
it from the various relevant man pages.

dpkg: Use DPKG_ADMINDIR to set the admindir
This was done in the name of security, but it does not make much sense
as root should make sure to be running in a clean environment. This is
problematic as it makes the interface hard to understand, and produces
unexpected behavior as dpkg can be called from within itself, or as a
wrapper for dpkg-query, which will then not inherit the admindir value.
Closes: #900071
commit 1fcb291686f6bad5b3d7dfe619fcd840d6ab5d3a
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
Date: Sun Nov 3 01:08:21 2019 +0100
dpkg: Fix and clarify behavior for packages marked to be on “hold”
A package marked to be on hold, denotes that the package should be kept
in its current version and should not be automatically installed, upgraded
or removed. The same applies to frontends. This behavior does not apply
when the user explicitly requested one of these actions, or the
--force-hold option is used.
It should never prevent dpkg from processing these for configuration (if
they were already in unpacked state) or from trigger processing, otherwise
we might get into trigger loops. Some of the code was already doing this,
but this was not consistently done. We update also the help output and
documentation to clarify the fixed behavior.

dpkg-query: Try to use the description from the available file if not installed
When we have been requested to load the available file, and that
contains a description for a package that is not installed, we should
use that instead of printing the confusing string stating that the
description is not available.

commit 9b68d769f7280452402ea38ebfaf358ed44be20a
Author: Dan Streetman <ddstreet@canonical.com>
Date: Sun Nov 3 00:27:00 2019 +0100
debian: Replace custom rule for 'configure' with call to dh_autoreconf
Having this custom rule to create the «configure» file means that it
might end up not being rebuilt if the timestamps of some other files
are off compared to the debian/changelog date. Using dh_autoreconf
guarantees that even if these timestamps got updated incorrectly,
the file will always be rebuilt as expected.
The historic rationale for not doing this before, even though this has
been considered a best packaging practice, was that because dpkg needs
explicit support for new architectures, which is the main reason to
get autotools updated to pull in new config.* files, we would get
reports so that we could add such support and release a new upstream
version. But this has never happened, and it's causing other problems.

libdpkg: Add new versiondescribe_c() to force a C locale

We add a new versiondescribe_c() that wraps the locale-dependant

to the previous one before returning.

libdpkg: Add new C locale switch over support
This will make it possible to select either the current locale or a
specified one, currently only C is selectable.
We use this because the uselocale(3) POSIX API is recent, and the system
might not have it available, so we might need to fallback to use
setlocale(3) instead, which even though is not thread-safe, it's better
than nothing.

dpkg: Initialize flagdeppossi in check_conflict()
We only use this variable as a sentinel pointer so that we can make
sure the pdep pointer is not NULL in subsequent checks. But cppcheck
gets confused, so let's initialize it to make the code more
future-proof.

dselect: Reduce scope of variable
The variable was being assigned in one side of an if branch, but the
result never used. Let's reduce the scope to the if branch that actually
assigns and uses it.

test: Clarify cppcheck va_list_usedBeforeStarted suppression
This is actually due to our local va_copy() compatibility code, which
cppcheck does not understand. Using the same code w/o the local macro
does not emit the false positive.

Dpkg::Source::Package: Verify original tarball signatures at build time
When we are building the source package, while detecting whether there
is any original upstream tarball signature to be included in the .dsc,
it's the best time to verify them, so that when the .dsc gets eventually
signed there's a certification path for the maintainer that they are
including what they expected to be there.

scripts: Switch Getopt::Long from bundling to bundling_values
This got introduced after a request so that we could switch our tools
to a safe subset of the bundling logic, so let's enable it now that it
is available in the minimum supported perl version.
Bundling is in general unsafe, and not future-proof, as new options
might gain arguments which would then get misinterpreted, we should
not really be using it. But bundling the value into the option is a
common pattern and should be allowed.

libdpkg: Do not generate a backup file for the available database
This file contains information only valid as long as the downloaded

take quite some space.
