python-apt 0.8.3ubuntu7.5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

python-apt (0.8.3ubuntu7.5) precise-security; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Check that repository is trusted before downloading
    files from it (LP: #1858973)
    - apt/cache.py: Add checks to fetch_archives() and commit()
    - apt/package.py: Add checks to fetch_binary() and fetch_source()
    - CVE-2019-15796
  * SECURITY UPDATE: Do not use MD5 for verifying downloadeds
    (Closes: #944696) (#LP: #1858972)
    - apt/package.py: Use strongest hashes when fetching packages. Packages
      without a trusted hash are still accepted.
    - CVE-2019-15795
  * To work around the new checks, the parameter allow_unauthenticated=True
    can be passed to the functions. It defaults to the value of the
    APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated option.
    - Bump Breaks aptdaemon (<< 0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu10+esm1), as it will have
      to set that parameter after having done validation.
  * Automatic changes and fixes for external regressions:
    - Adjustments to test suite and CI to fix CI regressions
    - Automatic mirror list update
    - utils/get_debian_mirrors.py: Get data from salsa
  * Make allow_unauthenticated argument to fetch_archives() optional
    - apt/cache.py

python-apt: Python interface to libapt-pkg

 The apt_pkg Python interface will provide full access to the internal
 libapt-pkg structures allowing Python programs to easily perform a
 variety of functions, such as:
 .
  - Access to the APT configuration system
  - Access to the APT package information database
  - Parsing of Debian package control files, and other files with a
    similar structure
