We made a new dpkg release, it contains: - the dependency fix for RC bug #596417 http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=4d6c43090715ea4ed74b376bdc7bff73faaa569a - important bug fixes * Fix dpkg-genchanges to not split the short description in the middle of a UTF8 character. Closes: #593442 http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=f42344b5fb3fda487eb1b7583bd1bd2ec84f2334 * Drop -k parameter from the tar call used by dpkg-source to extract tarballs. Upstream binary files modified by the packager were not properly installed due to this. Thanks to James Westby for the report. Closes: #594440 http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=4d2b04f3e62d02a223e12eea1947fde1e3695334 * Do not print a warning when parsing status or status log files on half-installed packages w/o a Description or Maintainer field, as this happens normally when the package was never installed before. Closes: #594167 http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=672b0664cbb8fd7fd5eea7ab10af1bbf6871833f * Fix possible but improbable segfault in update-alternatives in case the master file name contains a format string specifier. Reported by Sandro Cazzaniga. http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commit;h=dbbd15fe8d972b4f8f3a4d94934a99c507cf0596 - many translations updates - small doc updates Note that #594167 can confuse users with invalid warnings during package installation. Note that the commit "Fix realloc usage on compat scandir() implementation." does not affect Debian since we have scandir in the libc AFAIK.
