Changelog
dpkg (1.19.5) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Guillem Jover ]
* start-stop-daemon: Make sure that we get a meaningful errno on
parse_unsigned(), so that the error messages always make sense.
* start-stop-daemon: Add new fatalv() and fatale() functions and use the
latter for system errors, so that we are explicit on whether we want to
use errno for error reporting or not.
* start-stop-daemon: Always refuse to parse a world-writable pidfile,
except when that is /dev/null.
* dpkg: Print the current set of enabled force options on --force-help.
* dpkg: Parse and set new DPKG_FORCE environment variable for subprocesses.
Closes: #666147
* dpkg-statoverride: Add support for --force-* options.
* dpkg-statoverride: Switch from --force option to new --force-<thing>
options. Deprecate --force option which will be considered an alias for
--force-all for now.
* dpkg, dpkg-statoverride: Add new option --refuse-security-mac to control
SELinux. See #811037.
* dpkg: Clarify error on unknown system user/group in statoverride database.
Closes: #920880
* dpkg-buildpackage: Clarify the warning/error on short OpenPGP key IDs.
Closes: #922039
* dpkg-maintscript-helper: Restrict find for dir-to-symlink move to
-maxdepth 1. Thanks to Ralf Treinen <email address hidden>. Closes: #922799
* dpkg-genbuildinfo: Add support for a new Build-Tainted-By field in
.buildinfo files. Suggested by Alexander E. Patrakov <email address hidden>.
* libdpkg: Clarify field names in error and warning messages.
* libdpkg: Optimize error handling. Move the error reporting outside the
involved functions so that we do not need to call gettext if there is no
error, which has a significant performance cost.
* libdpkg: Merge nicknames table into fieldinfos, to stop penalizing the
lookup of non-obsolete fieldnames.
* libdpkg: Print a more accurate warning for Revision nicknames.
* libdpkg: Increase the pkg-hash bins size to 65521, to improve hash table
performance at the cost of a bit more memory usage.
* libdpkg: Blank packages that are not-installed with unknown selection.
Closes: #922410
* libdpkg, dpkg: Print the dpkg database directory on access errors.
Closes: #883700
* Perl modules:
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add support for merged-usr-via-symlinks tainted
tag. Suggested by Alexander E. Patrakov <email address hidden>.
- Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add support for usr-local-has-* tainted tags.
- Dpkg::Source::Package: Add a missing use Dpkg::Source::Format.

Reported by Y <email address hidden>. Closes: #922212

* Build system:

This will avoid having to do a two staged release to get a proper perl
distribution tarball.
* Packaging:
- autopkgtest: Add file to Depends fields.
- autopkgtest: Clarify behavior on root/non-root requirement.
- Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0 (no changes required).
- Remove now unused assert usertag description.
- Remove trailing whitespace from changelog.
- Remove Origin and Bugs fields from control file.
- Include a bug-script to report on tainted merged-usr-via-symlinks.
