man: Document dpkg-query --search and --listfiles output formats
Document or clarify the output formats, so that users can rely on it

on.

man: Switch the Architecture field in deb-control(5) to required
Since the multiarch support got added to dpkg(1), the Architecture field
is now also required for binary packages (was already for source ones),
even though arch-less packages can still be installed by using a force
option, the default is to error out when the field is missing.

commit 9e15d7c807ed47d3d6db4589875aae25d47c93a6

Date: Mon Jun 14 23:45:21 2021 +0200
man: Add man page for deb-md5sums(5)
While we do not generate this file at build time, but dpkg(1) does parse
it for its --verify command, and generates it if missing from the binary
package on unpack.

dpkg-buildpackage: When printing build type match the extension exactly
We need to anchor the regex at the end of the string, otherwise we get
partial matches due to substrings.

libdpkg: Remove MDEBUG support from m_malloc() implementation
There are better memory leak and overflow detector tools around, there
is no need for this ad-hoc implementation that might not detect memory
misuse anyway.

libdpkg: Add support for AIX to dpkg_get_progname()
On AIX we need to use getprocs64() to fetch the current program name.

commit 6a9d238b104b2804ca2dd22db5f0ecd51654ed8d

Date: Sat May 1 23:43:56 2021 +0200
build: Check whether fsync(3) works on directories
On at least AIX fsync(3) requires a writable file descriptor, which
opendir(3) does not provide. But even with a writable file descriptor
fsync(3) does not always work on directories.
Disable all directory fsync()s if the system does not support it.
commit 3619a53af421fb0a6a8214e14c4cacffe1831842

build: Switch DPKG_FUNC_C99_SNPRINTF from AC_LANG_SOURCE to AC_LANG_PROGRAM
This reduces boirlerplate code.

Date: Thu Apr 29 20:20:24 2021 +0200
build: Do not set have_libmd on the found branch in AC_SEARCH_LIBS
This also covers the case of found in the system libraries, which we
cover later anyway, so the assignment here is confusing.

build: Check for libsocket
On Solaris the socket functions are not found on libc but on libsocket.
We need those for start-stop-daemon.

s-s-d: Define SOCK_NONBLOCK to 0 if not defined
On systems such as macOS and AIX this macro is not defined. Just set it
to 0 so that we can compile the sources.

dpkg: During unpack print a removal message due to Conflicts
When deciding whether to de-configure a package due to Breaks we print
a message stating so, as well as when we are actually de-configuring
them. When deciding whether to remove a package due to Conflicts we also
print a message, but were not printing anything when removing these
package which seems rather confusing and makes the installation non
obvious.

Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: Require format plugins to inherit from Dpkg::Changelog

Dpkg::Source::Quilt: Add hint to check missing files on patch apply failures
When we are trying to patch a file that is not present in the original
tarball, the error message is rather confusing, as it mentions possible
fuzz problems, as if the file existed, which might mislead the user.
Add a hint to check whether the file is present in the original tarball
to avoid leading the user into dead ends.
Ideally the affected tarball would be reported in the error message, but
that information is currently not available on that code path.

we also need to include the orig tarball.

arch: Clarify that the regex columns need to be ordered to match first
The entries are used in a first fully match order, so the regular
expressions need to be listed from most specific to less specific
when using wildcards.

test: Add unit tests for architecture bijective mapping property
The architectures need to have the bijective property when converting
back and forth from the Debian arch name to the GNU triplet. Enforce
this in the test suite to make it easier to guarantee this when adding
new architectures to the tables.

test: Add descriptions to makefile test runners
We execute the same makefile with different environments, so we need
some description to distinguish them in case they fail, otherwise it
is too confusing to diagnose.

test: Use can_run() instead of find_command()

and for consistency with the rest of the perl unit tests.

Use localtime_r() instead of localtime()
Even though the codebase is not threaded, the former is a safe function
and we should be using it to be future-proof.

test: Pass --ignore-builtin-builddeps to dpkg-buildpackage
We should ignore any builtin build dependencies (in particular
build-essential, which is an arch:any package), as we are forcing the
build and host architectures, which will make them not match whatever
is on the system status file if present at all, and cause dependency
unsatisfiability.
