dpkg (1.16.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Fix dpkg-source to not ignore the automatic patch when checking
for unrecorded changes. Closes: #643148
* Let dpkg-source --commit create debian/patches when required.
Closes: #643037
* Fix dpkg-buildflags --dump to return 0 as exit code and not 1.
* Update dpkg-buildflags(1) to not include quotes in the examples
setting DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
* Stop outputting build flags in dpkg-buildpackage as it confuses
maintainers who are overriding them in debian/rules and who
are not seeing the expected value in the build log.
* Fix trigger setup code to not reset the status of packages
when they are in a status different from triggers-awaited,
triggers-pending or installed. Closes: #644492
* Fix dpkg-source to ignore changes on debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied
when building a "2.0" source package. Closes: #642656
* Fix buildflags.mk to re-export the environment variables that
the maintainer can use to change the build flags. Closes: #644412
[ Guillem Jover ]
* Change dpkg-buildflags to set preprocessor option -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
in CPPFLAGS, instead of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Closes: #642521, #643632
* Fix typo to correctly set DEB_*_ARCH_BITS instead of DEB_*_ARCH in
architecture.mk. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>.
* Make dpkg-buildflags disable full relro (bindnow) if relro is not enabled.

dpkg (1.16.1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* Dpkg::Deps: Implement new "reset" method and bump module version to 1.01
due to this.
* Improved description of --search in dpkg-query(1). Closes: #621066
Thanks to Lars Buitinck <larsmans@gmail.com> for the patch.
* Let update-alternatives fsync() its administrative files before
moving them in place to avoid empty files with some filesystems.
LP: #344019
* Tighten the regexp used by dpkg-source to ignore the .pc directory of
quilt. Thanks to Mike Hommey for noticing the problem.
* Change behaviour of dpkg-source's --extend-diff-ignore to also
extend the current diff-ignore if it has already been set.
* Fix dependency checking code to consider a dependency on a virtual
package provided by a package in triggers-pending status as satisfied.
* Do not fail when encountering a pre-dependency in triggers-awaited state,
instead process the awaited triggers. Closes: #526774
* "any" no longer hides "all" in the Architecture field of a .dsc.
* Fix dpkg --remove to really remove the triggers from the various
internal files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/triggers/. Closes: #525160
* Avoid a perl warning in dpkg-gensymbols when no symbols file has been
generated (because it would have been empty). Closes: #626684
* Re-enable the Package-List field but drop the Architecture column since we
have no clear use case yet. It can always be added later on.
Also drop the source line since it duplicates other fields.
Closes: #619131
* Add the extraction part of Dpkg::Source::Package to the supported API.
Useful to extract source packages without having to depend on dpkg-source
(and hence dpkg-dev).
* Add the Dpkg::Vendor module to the supported API. Useful for lintian
when dpkg-dev is absent.
* Check presence of required parameters in dpkg-vendor. Closes: #628726
Thanks to Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for the patch.
* Avoid a Perl warning in dpkg-buildflags when HOME is not set.
Closes: #635467
* dpkg-source can now also use debian/source/local-patch-header (that is not
included in the generated source package) instead of
debian/source/patch-header. Closes: #629582
* Changed dpkg-source --after-build to automatically unapply patches that it
has applied during --before-build.
* Fix two possible causes for the assertion failure "pigp->trigpend_head".
LP: #798793, #424358 Closes: #560251
* Use "special" instead of "particular" to qualify the "3.0 (custom)" format
in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #631435
* Add some supplementary checks to ensure debian/control has the required
fields. Closes: #631439
* dpkg-gensymbols(1): document syntax of comments. Closes: #630996
* Allow empty lines in symbols files to better delimit multiple libraries.
Thanks to Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> for the patch.
* dpkg: if "prerm upgrade" fails when downgrading, do not try to run
"prerm failed-upgrade" with the prerm of the oldest prerm, it can't work
around a bug of a newer prerm anyway.
* dpkg: support new "interest-noawait" and "activate-noawait" trigger
directives.
* dpkg-buildflags(1): make it clear that DEB_*_(SET|APPEND) environment
variables are meant for users and should not be used by packages.
* update-alternatives: do not allow to reuse a slave link in another
slave alternative. Closes: #631547
* Improve dpkg-source's logic to identify ignored files. Closes: #632168
* Fix a small typo in dpkg-source(1). Closes: #632937
* Reword the description of dpkg-source --before-build and --after-build
to be clearer. Closes: #608260
* dpkg-buildpackage no longer exports the compiler flags. Closes: #560070
Packages must directly call dpkg-buildflags to retrieve them.
* dpkg-buildflags supports a prepend command to modify the build
flags. Particularly useful for package maintainers who don't want
their supplementary flags to take precedence over user submitted
flags.
* Add new --dump action to dpkg-buildflags and make it the default action.
Closes: #603435
* dpkg-mergechangelogs now checks the return value of the close() call.
Thanks to Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> for the patch. Closes: #633539
* Similar changes to dpkg-shlibdeps and dpkg-gencontrol, also by Niels.
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove a real file when dropping a
symlink for a slave that's not provided by the new current choice.
Closes: #633627
* Improve dpkg-source's error message complaining about the lack
of the upstream tarball. Closes: #634510
* Add some common makefile snippets for use in rules files in
/usr/share/dpkg/: default.mk, architecture.mk, buildflags.mk, pkg-info.mk,
vendor.mk Closes: #606839
* Fix the dpkg-divert test-suite to also skip test that would fail if run
under root. Closes: #634961
* Change merge conflict separators created by dpkg-mergechangelogs to match
the usual norm of being composed of 7 characters. LP: #815700
* With source format 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt), dpkg-source now fails by default
when upstream changes have not been recorded in a quilt patch. The new
--commit operation can be used to properly record the changes before-hand.
LP: #797839
And it fails before installing the automatic patch in debian/patches/
Closes: #615899
* dpkg-buildflags now supports "--export=configure" to output compilation
flags on a single line with double quotes as delimiter of the various
values. It also uses DEB_<flag>_MAINT_<op> to let the maintainer
extend the build flags to use. Last but not least, it can now also strip
options from the returned build flags.
* Fix possible segfault of dpkg in findbreakcycle(). LP: #733414
* dpkg-source now properly cleans up the temporary tarball generated for
native formats in case of unexpected interruption. Closes: #631494
* Fix simplification logic of union dependencies. Closes: #637564
* Fix dpkg's handling of a hardlink pointing to a conffile. Closes: #638291
* Add example of extend-diff-ignore's usage in dpkg-source(1).
Closes: #640198
* dpkg-buildflags now returns hardening flags by default. Closes: #489771
They can be individually enabled/disabled via DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS,
see dpkg-buildflags(1). Thanks to Kees Cook for his help.
[ Guillem Jover ]

* Add ‘.gitmodules’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists. Closes: #620490
* Document in dpkg-query(1) man page that on --listfiles each list of
files per package name is separated by a blank line. Same goes for
--status and --print-avail.
* Use execvp(3) unconditionally in command_exec(). Making the call always
fallback to use the system shell in case of error, such as with empty
maintainer scripts. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>.
Closes: #622094
* Improve deb-split(5) format description by splitting debian-split
member contents into a list.
* Switch to debhelper compatibility level 7.
- Use dh_prep instead of deprecated “dh_clean -k”.

* Generate filenames following current conventions on “dpkg-split --join”,
by including the architecture in the debian-split member of a split
package and using underscores to separate filename parts.

from dpkg which were being treated as dpkg commands.
* Remove reference to --nocheck dpkg-deb option from dpkg man page as
the latter does not pass it to the former.
* Clarify the current dpkg behaviour when running the dpkg-deb and
dpkg-query back-ends, of not passing through back-end specific options
when running them from dpkg. Closes: #610940
* Use “unselected” as an adjective in dpkg output messages instead of
“deselected”. Closes: #231089
* Clarify exit status in dpkg-split and start-stop-daemon --help output.

* Add a --status command to start-stop-daemon returning LSB Init Script
status action exit codes.
* Add start-stop-daemon process name kernel limits for Solaris, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Darwin.
* On package removal, keep only directories actually containing conffiles,
and not directories just matching the substring in the conffile or the
directory itself. Thanks to Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>.
* On purge correctly remove symlinks acting as directories, when they are
not being used by any other package's files.
* Do not lose track of parent directories on removal so that they can
be properly cleaned up on purge if not used by any other package.
Based on a patch by Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>. Closes: #454694
* Add ‘.hgsigs’ to the default dpkg-source ignore lists.

dpkg-gencontrol to get consistent results independent of build system.
Thanks to Ludovic Brenta <ludovic@ludovic-brenta.org>. Closes: #630533
* Do not fail to unpack shared directories missing on the file system
from packages being replaced by other packages. Closes: #631808
* Do not require programs to define thisname, provide two new functions
to handle the program name (dpkg_set_progname and dpkg_get_progname).
Closes: #631757
* Man pages cleanup:
- Rename “USAGE” dselect(1) section to “ACTIONS” and clarify they can
be performed interactively or from command line.
- Add missing built-in methods to dselect(1).
- Add missing escaping to field dashes in deb-control(5).
- Use dashes instead of underscores for variable text.
- Clarify that several front-end fields are not dselect specific in
dpkg-query(1).
- Use [option...] instead of [options] and friends.
- Use italics or bold instead of surrounding the text with <>.
- Correctly format text with bold and italics.
- Use minus signs and hyphens consistently in man pages.
- Fix reference to /etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg.d instead of dpkg.cfg.d in
dselect(1).
- Add missing optional group|gid --chuid argument in start-stop-daemon(8).
* Refer to Sources and Packages files as part of a repository instead of
as being of exclusive use or owned by APT, which has never been the case.
* Unify somewhat dpkg-maintscript-helper --help output with other commands.
* Add build-indep and build-arch targets as aliases for build in
debian/rules.

in the m4 DPKG_ARCHITECTURE macro.
* Add new --verbose option to dpkg-deb and change --extract to honour it.
Closes: #293280
* Add new --raw-extract option to dpkg-deb combining --control and
--extract. Closes: #552123
* Defer hardlink renames so that there's never a point were the new
file contents are accessible from the final path before they have
been fsync()ed and cannot be executed causing ETXTBSY when trying
to open the to be installed paths for writing.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>. Closes: #635683
* Clarify the default dpkg-deb compression-levels on the man page.
* Clarify dpkg --update-avail usage error message. Closes: #628055
* Change Dpkg::Compression default values depending on the compressor
used, and as such dpkg-source inherits this functionality.
Prompted by Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors@iki.fi>.
* Print an actual error or warning message instead of assert()ing on
readlink()/stat() size discrepancies. Closes: #639229
* Update alternative links only if they change. This allows for a
read-only file system and a writable database. Closes: #636700
Based on a patch by Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>.
* Fix double “error:” string in dpkg missing PATH error output.
Closes: #639997
* Do not warn on strange timestamps when unpacking with dpkg-deb.
Closes: #640298

it does not end up pulling triglib.
* Reduce dpkg-deb binary size by refectoring libdpkg modules so that it
does not end up pulling triglib.
* Do not fail on --compare-version when generating parse warnings.
Existing packages with invalid versions should not fail on their
maintainer scripts due to that.
* Use the user name (instead of the user id) when setting the supplementary
groups in start-stop-daemon. Closes: #641834
* Use --srcdir and --destdir po4a options, and bump Build-Depends version
to 0.36.4.

* Use DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE environment variable as package name on
dpkg-divert when no --package or --local options have been specified.
* Do not allow versions starting with non-digit when doing strict parsing,
warn otherwise.
* Update dpkg(1) to note that --status-fd output does not contain newlines
in error messages anymore (this was fixed in 1.15.0).
* Add a new --status-logger option to dpkg, similar to --status-fd but
instead invoke the command ourselves and feed the status information
to its standard input. Suggested by Raphaël Hertzog.
* Add missing space in update-alternative --set-selections output.
* Add missing options to update-alternative --help output.
* Count “conffile name is duplicated” for dpkg-deb warning count summary.
* Improve and clarify strings for translation. Closes: #604914
* Prefix all fatal error messages with “error: ”.
* Do not check presence of update-rc.d in the PATH in dpkg, as it's not

Closes: #31141
* Propagate --admindir to programs run from maintainer scritpts.
Closes: #97076
* Do not fail when trying to remove the root directory. This will only
happen either on distributions where dpkg is a foreign package manager,
or on artificial dpkg databases.
* Always warn when parsing any package control data which does not have
an Architecture field except for status and status log files when
packages are not-installed or half-installed.
* By default reject installing packages w/o an Architecture field. They
now need --force-architecture, dpkg will still warn about them though.
* Fix build failure when passing --disable-nls to configure.
* Do not segfault on “dpkg -i --no-act”.
* Add missing semicolon to the vsnprintf() compat declaration.

* Add armhf support to ostable and triplettable. Closes: #594179
* Set the modification time for unpacked symlinks on supported systems.
* Fix undefined value usage in dpkg-genchanges when adding files w/o a
matching architecture, because they are not present in debian/control,
this is most commonly the case due to dpkg-distaddfile.
* Terminate immediately on dpkg-divert rename errors instead of propagating
up the error codes, this improves error reporting and avoids triggering
leak detectors. Closes: #620380
* When moving a diverted file across filesystems in dpkg-divert, remove
the source file.

* dpkg-source now keeps the file ordering in the autogenerated patch when
regenerating it. Closes: #606080
Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.
* dpkg-source now uses a timestamp retrieved from the filesystem when
resetting the timestamp of patched files so that a time skew when using
NFS doesn't introduce any inconsistency. Closes: #613023

diagnosis.
* dpkg-source will now remove quilt's .pc directory when --unapply-patches

before the PGP signature. Closes: #617923
Thanks to Roger Leigh for the initial patch.
* Fix a regression in dpkg-divert where using --rename led to a failure when
the rename implies crossing file systems. Thanks to Durk Strooisma for

- Do not consider a top-level symlink like a directory when
extracting a tarball.
- Exclude .pc while extracting the upstream tarball in 3.0 (quilt)

* update-alternatives has been rewritten in C, the only feature change
should be that it uses its own logfile /var/log/alternatives.log (rotated
like dpkg.log).
* Implement new --unapply-patches option for dpkg-source with source formats
2.0 and 3.0 (quilt) that unapplies the patches after a successful build.
This option can be put in debian/source/local-options in the package VCS
repository for instance.
* Implement new --abort-on-upstream-changes option for dpkg-source with
source formats 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 (quilt). It aborts every time that you try
to build a source package which contains (unmanaged) changes to the

* Use Breaks instead of Conflicts in dpkg, dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl binary
packages.
* Move Dpkg.pm and Dpkg/Gettext.pm from dpkg to libdpkg-perl.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
* Detect when another process has locked the database, and mention that
problematic dpkg --audit results might be due to ongoing operations.

the conffile from the new package does not differ from the previous one.
Thanks to Henning Makholm <henning@makholm.net>. Closes: #102609
* On dpkg-divert --rename, check if the source file exists, and disable
renaming if it does not. Closes: #550252
As a side effect, this avoids useless errors when the destination
directory is not existent or writable. Closes: #581544

triggered the problematic behaviour. Closes: #575891
* Tigthen the regex used by dpkg-source to match the component name of
supplementary tarballs so that underscore (_) are not allowed as it was
supposed to be.
* Introduce a new script called dpkg-buildflags: its purpose is to retrieve
compilation flags and it should be used within debian/rules to pass
the right compilation flags to the build process. dpkg-builpackage still
exports them to not break packages currently relying on them but packages

* Do not allow a --retry schedule in start-stop-daemon where forever is

Closes: #363323
* dpkg-source now supports an option --create-empty-orig in formats
"2.0" and "3.0 (quilt)" to auto-create the main original tarball when

requested one is not usable. Closes: #557459
* Modify dpkg-source to error out when it would apply patches containing
insecure paths (with "/../") and also error out when it would apply a
patch through a symlink. Those checks are required as patch will happily
modify files outside of the target directory and unpacking a source package
should not be able to have any side-effect outside of the target
directory. Fixes CVE-2010-0396.
* Also error out when the quilt series contains a path with "/../" as this
can cause patch to create files outside of the source package due

This removes the lzma package from both dpkg and dpkg-dev dependencies.
* Do not set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in dpkg-buildpackage when cross-building.

[ Modestas Vainius ]
* Implement symbol patterns (Closes: #563752). From now on, it is possible to
match multiple symbols with a single entry in the symbol file template.
While the concept is not new (wildcards also match multiple symbols),
patterns cover much more ground and are a lot more flexible. Together with
the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
- c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
c++filt);
- symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
on top of the new framework;
- regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
* As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are
present in the symbol file (Closes: #541464). Please note, however, that
there is no way to detect symbol changes in the pattern match sets.
* Add source version to the dpkg-gensymbols diff label, reformat it according
to the rules of dpkg-name.
* Add -a<arch> option to dpkg-gensymbols.
* Add -q option to dpkg-gensymbols. -c0 will never fail but still generate a
diff. Use -c0 -q to keep dpkg-gensymbols completely quiet as before
(Closes: #568228).

* Support tags before symbols in symbols file contained in source packages.
The first two tags are "optional" (use it to not fail if the symbol might
disappear from the library without breaking the ABI) and "arch" to

* Fix dpkg-genchanges to not include the additional upstream tarballs
when they are not desired (specific to source packages using format 3.0

* Call quilt only once to apply all patches instead of once per patch
when building 3.0 (quilt) source packages. Closes: #518453
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps so that it works again when analyzing binaries
outside of package's directory. Closes: #518687
* Modify dpkg-shlibdeps to let shlibs.local override symbols files too.
* Drop support of debian/control's “Format” field used by dpkg-source while
it's not too late. Instead debian/source/format should be used to indicate
the desired source package format.
* Update deb-triggers(5) and dpkg-trigger(1) to add a reference to
/usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz. Closes: #519717
* Avoid perl warnings in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges when the
Architecture field is missing in a binary package. Closes: #510282
* Modify Dpkg::Version::check_version() to not die by default.
Closes: #510615
* dpkg-source now ignores all possible vi swap file extensions (and not
only .swp). The corresponding exclude pattern for -I also got tightened to
only catch filenames starting with a dot. Closes: #515540
* dpkg-gencontrol displays a better error message when an ORed dependency
is used in a union field like Conflicts, Replaces or Breaks.
Closes: #489238
* dpkg-source's signature check is now done with gpgv if possible and
timeouts if not completed within 10 seconds. Closes: #490929
When using gpg, use --no-default-keyring to be consistent with gpgv's
behaviour to not use the user's keyring. Closes: #440841
* Update dpkg-dev dependencies: Closes: #472942
- Move gnupg to Recommends. It's needed to sign .dsc and .changes.
- Add gpgv to Recommends. Useful to check signatures of extracted packages.
- Add debian-maintainers to Suggests. Together with debian-keyring they
contain all the GPG keys required to verify official Debian packages.
* Drop /etc/dpkg/origins as it's taken over by base-files (see #487437).
* Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to properly initialize a symbol-based dependency
even when some symbols are associated with a (fake) version "0". Such a
version means that the symbol has always existed in all versions of the
package.
* When dpkg delegates to dpkg-query or dpkg-deb to do the actual work, add
the "--" marker to explicitly document the end of options so that
arguments starting with a dash are not interpreted as options.

* Do not store usernames and group names in tarballs created by dpkg-source,
they are anyway ignored at unpack time. Closes: #523184
* Fix update-alternatives to not remove real files installed in place of
an alternative link when the corresponding alternative is fully removed.
Closes: #526538
* Add a new dpkg-vendor tool to query vendor information stored in
/etc/dpkg/origins. It can be used in debian/rules to enable different
behaviour depending on the current vendor at the time of the build.
Closes: #498380
Modify dpkg-buildpackage to not set the DEB_VENDOR environment variable,
packages should use the dpkg-vendor program instead.
* Ensure that the automatic patch created in format "3.0 (quilt)" is always
well registered with quilt even when it's updated by a new call to
dpkg-source. Thanks to Goswin von Brederlow for the initial patch.
Closes: #525858

* When dpkg-source builds a source package of Format: 2.0 or 3.0 (quilt) it
applies the patches before the build if
debian/patches/.dpkg-source-applied doesn't exist. This file is created
during extraction if patches are applied, and is auto-excluded from the
debian tarball. This enables on-the-fly conversion of source packages from
Format: 1.0 to Format: 3.0 (quilt) without manual intervention of the
user. This feature can be disabled with the option --no-preparation.
* The dpkg-source option --skip-patches disables application of patches
during extraction of source packages using Format: 2.0 or Format: 3.0
(quilt).
* Ensure the Files field is last in *.dsc and *.changes. This is a
work-around for some braindead dsc parsers (dupload and sbuild for

- drop unused overrides
- updated several manual pages to fix hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
- fixed manpage-has-errors-from-man in several manual pages
- removed empty debian/dpkg.prerm
* Removed old upgrade code from dpkg's preinst and postinst which only
concerns upgrading from dpkg version older than the one in oldstable
already. And thus we get rid of old the last usage of read in those
scripts (fixes lintian's warning read-in-maintainer-script).
* Removed sorting of dependencies in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-source. But
kept it for all other fields (Enhances, Conflicts, Replaces, Breaks,
Build-Conflicts and Build-Conflicts-Indep).
* Instead changed dpkg-shlibdeps to sort the dependencies generated in
${shlibs:*} variables.
* Changed the logic of simplification of dependencies: if any dependency
must be discarded due to another dependency appearing further
in the field, the superseding dependency will take the place of the
discarded one. Added a test case for this.
* dpkg-shlibdeps properly accounts usage of symbols provided by private
libraries without SONAME. Closes: #469838
* Add a new warning to dpkg-shlibdeps when a library NEEDED is in fact
not used by any of the binaries analyzed. Closes: #472332
* Add a new --warnings=<value> option to select the set of warnings to
activate. By default, do not activate the warning about useless
libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated
by default: it's less strict and more useful).
* dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to make it easier to support
multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
been added:
- the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
- the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
--include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
Closes: #4588, #4628
- thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
- it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
- it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
- the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
- the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
- the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
default. Closes: #435126
- the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
(like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
- the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
on corresponding VCS repositories. Thanks to Joey Hess and Colin Watson
respectively.
* dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and

- Support "symbols" files to generate finer-grained dependencies.
Those files can be created by the new dpkg-gensymbols command.
Closes: #430367
- Uses now all paths in RPATH (instead of only the first).
Closes: #395942
- Support parsing include directives in /etc/ld.so.conf. Closes: #431597
- Libraries are also searched in the public directories of packages
being built and thus debian/shlibs.local can effectively define
dependencies for libraries that are being built. Closes: #80340
- "symbols" files use the full SONAME as key instead of splitting it in
(name, version) like in the "shlibs" format. This allows binaries to
be linked with unversioned libraries and not fail. Note that
unversioned libraries are still a very bad idea. Closes: #48208
- dpkg-shlibdeps now supports '-x<package>' options that can be used to
exclude packages from generated dependencies (use with care though).
Closes: #41907, #109954

shared library that is actively used, then it will fail. This can be
disabled with the option '--ignore-missing-info'. Closes: #10807

libsepol1-dev as libselinux1-dev is Depending on it.
