as the latter are not future-proof, and neither can be guaranteed to
produce a reliable output file format.
* Drop archtable. It serves no purpose, it's Debian specific, it's
usually outdated, and everyone should be using dpkg-architecture anyway.

* Remove update-alternatives, dpkg-divert and dpkg-statoverride
compatibility symlinks under /usr/sbin/.

finds unknown packages while setting the selections. Closes: #703092
* Print nicer error messages in perl scripts using Getopt::Long by trapping
$SIG{__WARN__} to call usageerr() on option parse errors.
* Move the exit call out from usage() in dpkg-scansources so that usageerr()
gives a correct exit code. Thanks to Bernhard R. Link <brlink@debian.org>.

the default dpkg-deb compressor, mainly for downstreams.
* Switch dpkg-deb default compressor from gzip to xz. Build dpkg.deb using
gzip to make debootstrap life easier on non-Debian based systems.
* Add support for gzip compression strategies to dpkg-deb. The new
strategies are: filtered, huffman, rle and fixed.
* Change dpkg and dpkg-deb help output to recommend apt instead of dselect
as a user-friendly frontend.
* Remove temporary file on error during «dpkg-divert --rename».
* Fix value caching in Dpkg::Arch by not shadowing the variables.
* Fix chmod() arguments order in Dpkg::Source::Quilt. Closes: #710265
Thanks to Pablo Oliveira <pablo@sifflez.org>.
* Add new dpkg-shlibdeps -l option to add private shared library directories.
This should be used instead of abusing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pass the paths,
which might be problematic when cross-compiling. Closes: #698881
* Only apply empty line and comma cleanups when doing substvar replacements
on fields where those are relevant. Closes: #659814
* Do not scan control files twice for PGP signature presence.

* Do not abort dselect when multiarch is detected, as that only makes
users downgrade and hold on an older version w/ worse multiarch support.

of getcwd() by removing unused POSIX modules usage. Closes: #700978
[ Updated programs translations ]

* dpkg-gensymbols now refuses empty values for the -v -P and -e
parameters.
* Update dpkg(1) to refer to conffile whenever we speak of configuration
file handled by dpkg. Thus harmonize vocabulary with the policy. Thanks
to Helge Kreutzmann <debian@helgefjell.de>. Closes: #381219
* Improve error message stating that dpkg is unable to create a file so that
it also refers to the real filename instead of the non-diverted name only.
Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch. Closes: #457135
* dpkg-gencontrol can now again read the control file from its standard
input with "-c-". Closes: #465340

to change behaviour dynamically depending on the vendor of the current
system (or target system when the user overrides DEB_VENDOR by setting
it himself). Closes: #457371
* dpkg-shlibdeps give less strong warnings for symbols not found in NEEDED
libraries when the shared library is a non-public directory and is likely
to be a plugin. Closes: #481165
* Clarify list of packages displayed by dpkg --get-selections and
dpkg-query -l. Thanks to Jidanni. Closes: #487455

Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org> for the initial patch. We can know
select between manual and auto in --config and --all. Closes: #392430
* Fix update-alternatives to not switch to manual mode an alternative
with a broken symlink (instead let the current action fix it).
Also ensure that a message is displayed by default when such a switch is
made. Closes: #141325, #87677
* Fix update-alternatives' logic to rename files. It failed to ignore errors
in some cases where it wanted to when the source file didn't exist.
Closes: #99870
This also makes update-alternatives less noisy when this happens since we
don't call mv when we know that it's going to fail.
Closes: #98822
* Properly remove inappropriate slave links in update-alternatives even when
we switch to manual mode with --set or --config. Closes: #388313

but keep compatibility symlinks in /usr/sbin for the squeeze release
until all maintainer scripts are fixed (see
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html).
Closes: #216606
* Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides. Build-Depends on debhelper
(>= 6.0.7) for this. Update debhelper compatibility level to 6 at the same
time.
* Drop cleanup-info script.
* Reset umask to 0022 in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols to ensure that
files created in the DEBIAN directory have sane permissions.
Closes: #516481
* Rewrite update-alternatives (so that we can understand it again) and
implement new features on top of it:
- the --config output is now sorted. Closes: #437060
- it now logs information to /var/log/dpkg.log. Closes: #445270
- it forbids reusing master alternative as slave and vice-versa.
Closes: #342566
- it forbids reusing alternative links managed by other alternatives
- new sanity checks on --install parameters. Closes: #423176
- install slave link only if the corresponding slave file is available.
Closes: #143701
- new option --get-selections to export the configuration of all
alternatives. It's a simple way to discover the name of all available
alternatives. Closes: #273406, #392429
- new option --set-selections to reconfigure a set of alternatives in
a single command.

Closes: #62464.

-- Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org> Sat, 23 Oct 1999 00:39:24 -0400
dpkg (1.4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for long filenames, along with --assert-longfilenames
* Added --chuid option to start-stop-daemon to allow switching to
a different uid when starting a process
* Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
* Update dpkg-architecture's archtable
* Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
of the registered alternatives for a specific name
* Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
and uses
* Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
* Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
* Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
this is just a documentation fix).
* Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
* Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
* Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
* When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
and continue.
* Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
* Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
already generated anyway
* Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
to libtool itself after running configure
* Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
arch
* Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
different in layout
* Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
* debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
source.
* Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
* When running --configure on an already installed package, just
say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
state
* Fixed some compiler warnings
* Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
borked in the first place
* Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
* Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
* start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
* update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
* dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without
changing the diversion registry
* Fix bad regex in update-rc.d
