This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.16.0~ubuntu1 --------------- dpkg (1.16.0~ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
* Merge from git://git.debian.org/users/hertzog/dpkg.git pu/multiarch/snapshot/20110225 for multiarch support. This brings us up-to-date with dpkg 1.16.0-pre staged changes as well as pulling in the current version of the multiarch branch from Raphael Hertzog. * FFe: LP: #724637. * Remaining changes: - Set Ubuntu ppc64 optimisation to -O3. [ Guillem Jover ] * Fix realloc usage on compat scandir() implementation. * 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 a program needed for dpkg correct operation. * Fix dpkg -GEO options on multiple versions of the same packages. 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. Thanks to Robert Millan. Closes: #612203 * On install for Ubuntu adjust the i386 GNU cpu name in cputable. Thanks to Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com>. Closes: #611741 [ Raphaël Hertzog ] * Fail properly when debian/source/format is empty. Closes: #600854 * Add new deb-src-control(5) manual page documenting the debian/control file contained in source packages. - it documents the X[SBC]- prefix. Closes: #476335 - it documents the VCS-* fields too. Closes: #483119 Thanks to Oxan van Leeuwen <o...@oxanvanleeuwen.nl> who wrote it as part of the Google Code In program. * Enhance dpkg-shlibdeps to not fail immediatly when a library is not found. Instead continue and fail after all problems have been reported. Thanks to Chris Baines <cbain...@gmail.com> for the patch. Closes: #596841 * Fix dpkg-source to not list Debian packaging files as modified upstream files in Format "1.0" when unpacking to a non-standard directory. [ Jonathan Nieder ] * Remove support for use of synchronous sync(2), due to its pernicious side-effects and to ease maintenance. [ Updated programs translations ] * German (Sven Joachim). * Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo). * Spanish (Javier Fernandez-Sanguino). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated man page translations ] * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated scripts translations ] * German (Helge Kreutzmann). * Swedish (Peter Krefting). [ Updated dselect translations ] * Spanish (Javier Fernandez-Sanguino). -- Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:00:42 -0800 ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/724637 Title: FFe: dpkg 1.16.x: multiarch support -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
