dpkg 1.17.23ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.17.23ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining 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).
    - Bump fontconfig Breaks to match Ubuntu version; can be reverted after
      vivid ships, as the Debian Breaks version was higher than trusty's.
    - Add ureadahead to the long list of trigger-related Breaks as well.
  * Remove multiarch upgrade code from postinst, which is no longer needed.

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Use a matching group instead of ${^MATCH} in s/// in dselect build script.
  * Skip tar extractor tests if tar is not GNU tar >= 1.27.
  * Reset the trigger cycle tracking on unsatisfied dependencies during
    trigger processing. Closes: #771730
  * Fix out-of-bounds buffer read accesses when parsing field and trigger
    names or checking package ownership of conffiles and directories.
    Reported by Joshua Rogers <email address hidden>.
  * Add versioned Breaks on packages creating trigger cycles. Namely auctex,
    apt-cudf, ccache, cups, distcc, fusionforge-plugin-mediawiki, gap-core,
    gxine, hoogle, icecc, libjs-protoaculous, mcollective, pypy, wordpress
    and xfonts-traditional.

dpkg (1.17.22) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Add version introducing --ctrl-tarfile in dpkg-deb(1) man page.
  * Bump minimal version for dir_to_symlink and symlink_to_dir commands
    to 1.17.14 in dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) man page. Closes: #769843
  * Reintroduce update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
    compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/. There are still packages
    using those paths, but the relevant lintian check did not list any,
    so this got removed prematurely.
  * Add Breaks on old man-db, fontconfig and readahead-fedora packages using
    awaiting triggers, as they produce trigger cycles. Closes: #768599
  * Escape package and architecture names on control file parsing warning,
    as those get injected into a variable that is used as a format string,
    and they come from the package fields, which are under user control.
    Regression introduced in dpkg 1.16.0. Fixes CVE-2014-8625. Closes: #768485
    Reported by Joshua Rogers <email address hidden>.
  * Do not match partial field names in control files. Closes: #769119
    Regression introduced in dpkg 1.10.
  * Fix build on Mac OS X. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.11.
    Reported by Dominyk Tiller <email address hidden>.
  * Normalize tar entry uid and gid from the current system only in dpkg
    unpack. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.14. Closes: #769211
  * Restore multiple processing instances check for packages and archives
    specified on the command-line. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.17.20.
  * Fail on trigger processing when it is required to progress. Trigger
    processing is sometimes required and sometimes opportunistic, and we
    should only fail on the former but ignore the latter. Closes: #768852
  * Do not ignore trigger cycles for direct dependencies, these are just
    normal trigger cycles, and as such should not be special cased.
  * Register all pending triggers for deferred processing when being called
    as «dpkg --configure pkgname…». This is a mostly conformant workaround
    for frontends like apt that do not correctly call «dpkg --configure -a»
    or «dpkg --triggers-only -a» after their normal runs, and leave packages
    in triggers-pending and triggers-awaited states. Closes: #766758
