dpkg 1.16.7ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.16.7ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - Change the multiarch downgrade version checks in prerm/postrm
      from 1.16.2 to 1.16.0~ to reflect when multiarch landed in Ubuntu.
    - Migrate dpkg multiarch conffile (and other multi-arch-related
      conf settings) to the new DB with dpkg --add-architecture, but
      keep a copy of the old conffile if it was modified.
    - Out of paranoia, keep an option handler for foreign-architecture
      that informs people that they need to scrub their config files
      and upgrade, on the off chance that the above migration fails
      for some reason (this mitigates the chances of leaving users with
      a dpkg that fails to run due to a broken config).
    - 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.  This is useful for tools
      that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
      reporting with the untranslated error message.
    - Build-depend on gettext:any for cross-building support.
    - Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
      objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
    - lib/dpkg/pkg-spec.c: 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
      dpkg's own trigger database.
    - Add logic to the postinst to `dpkg --add-architecture i386' on new
      installs on amd64, and to also do so on upgrades from pre-conffile
      Ubuntu versions, mimicking our previous behaviour with the conffile.
  * Alter the foreign-architecture option handler to output to stderr
    instead of stdout, for people who prefer their stdout less noisy.

dpkg (1.16.5) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  * dpkg-source will now clean up after a failed application of a quilt
    patch. Closes: #652970
    And it will display a message explaining the most likely cause of
    failure (patch applying with fuzz).
  * When dpkg-source regenerates the automatic patch (with formats "2.0"
    or "3.0 (quilt)") it will keep the current patch header to avoid
    losing changes made by the maintainer.
  * Modify dpkg-source --commit to auto-whitelist modified binary files.
    That way the same command can be used whatever kind of upstream files
    has been modified.
  * dpkg-source now supports a new option --no-unapply-patches to force
    patches to be kept applied after build (used by formats "2.0" and "3.0
    (quilt)"). Closes: #643043

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Add a dpkg-buildflags --status action to describe the flag settings.
    Thanks to Bernhard R. Link <email address hidden>. Closes: #664058
  * Add support for “binary-only” key-value option in changelogs, to allow
    marking changelog entries as part of a binary only upload, having a
    different version from the source package. Closes: #440094, #672723
  * Minimize source architecture list on «dpkg-source -b» by removing
    architectures already covered by architecture wildcards. Closes: #675333
  * Do not assume $ENV{'HOME'} is defined in Dpkg::Source::Package.
    Thanks to Niels Thykier <email address hidden>. Closes: #677631
  * Document in more detail in deb(5) the supported ar archive format.
  * Document in deb-src-control(5) the “Private-” field prefix.
  * Add new start-stop-daemon --no-close option to disable closing file
    descriptors on --background. Closes: #627333, #646425
  * Switch source compression to xz.
  * Detect ar header fields truncation due to too long member names or too
    large member sizes. Closes: #678933
  * Add new dpkg-query --control-list and --control-show commands, which
    replace the now deprecated --control-path.
  * Print master and slave alternarive link names in update-alternatives
    --query and always print alternative link in --config. Closes: #679010
  * Cleanup and clarify buffer I/O error reporting. Closes: #621763
  * Avoid full stop and double newline at the end of errors and warnings.
    Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>. Closes: #624000

  * Add support for specific arch-qualified dependencies. Closes: #676232
    Thanks to Thibaut Girka <email address hidden>.

    column. Suggested by Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>. Closes: #673190
