dpkg 1.16.1.2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.16.1.2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Merge from git://git.debian.org/users/hertzog/dpkg.git
      pu/multiarch/full for multiarch support.
    - On upgrade from 1.16.0~ubuntu[1-3], if /var/lib/dpkg/info/$arch is a
      directory, migrate the contents to var/lib/dpkg/info; and handle the
      reverse on downgrade.  This does not handle metadata for packages of
      foreign architectures.
    - 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.  This is useful for tools
      that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
      reporting with the untranslated error message.
    - Add /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch as a conffile on amd64, so that
      users are guaranteed to always have it after upgrade even if they
      don't use update-manager for the upgrade itself.
    - Continue exporting compiler flags in dpkg-buildpackage until after
      Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
    - Add Pre-Depends on tar >= 1.23 (satisfied in stable) to dpkg due to it
      using the ‘--warning=no-timestamp’ option.
    - Strip -Werror=format-security from the flags exported to the
      environment from dpkg-buildpackage.
    - Don't export build flags for packages using debhelper compat level 9
      or above.
    - Mark dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl as Multi-Arch foreign. Closes: #648217

dpkg (1.16.1.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Raphaël Hertzog ]
  * Fix another typo to correctly set DEB_*_ARCH_BITS in architecture.mk.
  * Set urgency to medium as changes are minor, and it should migrate
    quickly in case 1.16.2 comes soon.

  [ Jonathan Nieder ]
  * Update dpkg-buildflags(1) to note that the processor option
    -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is set in CPPFLAGS now instead of CFLAGS and
    CXXFLAGS. Closes: #646073

Binary packages built by this source

dpkg: Debian package management system

 This package provides the low-level infrastructure for handling the
 installation and removal of Debian software packages.
 .
 For Debian package development tools, install dpkg-dev.

dpkg-dev: Debian package development tools

 This package provides the development tools (including dpkg-source)
 required to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.
 .
 Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build;
 for example, most packages need make and the C compiler gcc.

dselect: Debian package management front-end

 dselect is a high-level interface for managing the installation and
 removal of Debian software packages.
 .
 Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use
 apt-based user interfaces.

libdpkg-dev: Debian package management static library

 This package provides the header files and static library necessary to
 develop software using libdpkg, the same library used internally by dpkg.
 .
 Note though, that the API is to be considered volatile, and might change
 at any time, use at your own risk.

libdpkg-perl: Dpkg perl modules

 This package provides the perl modules used by the scripts
 in dpkg-dev. They cover a wide range of functionalities. Among them
 there are the following modules:
 .
  - Dpkg::Arch: manipulate Debian architecture information
  - Dpkg::BuildOptions: parse and manipulate DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
  - Dpkg::Changelog: parse Debian changelogs
  - Dpkg::Checksums: generate and parse checksums
  - Dpkg::Compression::Process: wrapper around compression tools
  - Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle: transparently (de)compress files
  - Dpkg::Control: parse and manipulate Debian control information
    (.dsc, .changes, Packages/Sources entries, etc.)
  - Dpkg::Deps: parse and manipulate dependencies
  - Dpkg::ErrorHandling: common error functions
  - Dpkg::Index: collections of Dpkg::Control (Packages/Sources files for
    example)
  - Dpkg::IPC: spawn sub-processes and feed/retrieve data
  - Dpkg::Substvars: substitute variables in strings
  - Dpkg::Vendor: identify current distribution vendor
  - Dpkg::Version: parse and manipulate Debian package versions
 .
 All the packages listed in Suggests or Recommends are used by some of the
 modules.
