  * Revert change to prefix the specs file spec string self_spec with +
    instead of *. The prefix is supposed to go in the text itself
    instead of the spec name, which already had it. This change only
    apparently fixed the issue at hand because gcc started parsing it as
    the «[SUFFIX]:» case, completely disabling the PIE handling.
    Thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>.
  * Perl modules:
    - Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Explicitly initialize constructor options to
      their implicit values, otherwise other code end up assuming different
      defaults. This is required here too as this class does not call the
      initialization from its parent.
  * Build system:
    - Detect the GNU program variants for make, patch and tar in the CPAN
      distribution to replace in the Dpkg module.
    - Set DEB_BUILD_ARCH to a dummy “amd64” in the CPAN distribution tests

  * libdpkg: Use ERANGE instead of EINVAL for tar_atol8() out-of-range error.
  * dpkg-gencontrol: Check presence of package build dir before traversing it.
  * Perl modules:
    - Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Change default build option style to -sa.
      Using -sA by default means the user might lose data on overwrite if
      there is already a directory with the same name laying around.
      Closes: #910737
    - Dpkg::Source::Package: Handle Format field being undefined. On source
      format 1.0, the default is for the debian/source/format file not being
      present, which means we'll start with an empty Format field name.
      Regression introduced in dpkg 1.19.3.
  * Packaging:
    - Update usertags.
    - Install a lintian profile for dpkg based on the debian profile, so that
      we can suppress Debian-specific tags, such as the controversial one on
      vendor-specific patch series files.
    - Add Breaks on lsb-base due to start-stop-daemon exposing breakage in
      the killproc function from /lib/lsb/init-functions. Closes: #923861

  * start-stop-daemon: Make sure that we get a meaningful errno on
    parse_unsigned(), so that the error messages always make sense.

    latter for system errors, so that we are explicit on whether we want to
    use errno for error reporting or not.

  * 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

  * 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

    Version the macros so that both can be used, and default the unversioned
    one to the version 0 macro.
  * dpkg: Mark the package we are giving up on a trigger cycle as "istobe"
    normal, so that the dependency checks know they cannot expect this package
    to be processed anymore. Otherwise we ended up never detecting that we
    were not making progress, as we expected to process this package at a later
    point, when that would never happen anymore. This then was causing asserts
    in the process queue loop. Closes: #901127, #910819
  * dpkg: Reset progress_bytrigproc once we have injected it into the current
    package process queue iteration, so that we do not keep trying to process
    it, which might end up generating artificial trigger cycles, if
    dependencies are not satisfied yet.
  * dpkg: Convert one trigger processing required type into the new try-queued
    one, so that we stop skipping unsatisfiable dependency checks.
  * dpkg: Move trigproc cycle reset inside try-deferred conditional. We should
    only reset the cycle detection in case we are not bailing out from the
    processing with an error, otherwise we could come back to this package and
    detect an artificial trigger cycle.
  * dpkg: Introduce a new dependency try level for trigger processing. This
    completely defers trigger processing until after the dependency cycle
    breaking level, so to avoid generating artificial trigger cycles, when we
    end up trying to process triggers with yet unsatisifiable dependencies.

  * Build system:
    - get-version: Use a format string with printf.
    - run-script: Use $() instead of deprecated ``.
    - run-script: Remove unused PERL_PROFILE variable, PERL5OPT can be used
      instead, and does not require leaving an unquoted variable around.
    - run-script: Add «set -e».
    - Build.PL: Set environment variables only for CPAN tests.
    - Build.PL: Set locale for CPAN tests to C. Fixes CPAN#127314.

  * Fix logic in dpkg-buildpackage to decide whether to run build targets,
    which broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
    Thanks to James Clarke <jrtc27@debian.org>. Closes: #878899
  * Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
    builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <infinity0@debian.org>.
  * Pass the correct source stanza to the dpkg-buildpackage code parsing the
    Rules-Requires-Root field. This meant the field was being ignored.
  * Run dpkg-source directly from the current working directory in
    dpkg-buildpackage, instead of changing directory back and forth.
  * Setup and check rootcommand in dpkg-buildpackage only if it is going to
    be needed. Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>.
  * Add color support to dpkg-maintscript-helper (a shell script).
  * Fix warning by including <sys/sysmacros.h> for makedev() in libdpkg.
  * Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
    that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
    Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net>.
  * Add new AS, STRIP, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP, NM, AR and RANLIB buildtools
    variables to buildtools.mk. Prompted by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
  * Restore rejecting negated architectures in Architecture field in
    dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5.
  * Fix dpkg-gensymbols to print "error" instead of "warning" when these
    are fatal. Closes: #881488
  * Rename DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD to DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in the R³ support, as
    the variable is expected to be set by any builder, not just dpkg. And
    introduce ephemeral backwards compatibility even though there are no
    known users.
  * Do not set DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in dpkg-buildpackage when the R³ value is
    <implementations-keywords>, following the specification.
  * Specify that DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD in R³ should preserve the environment.
    Proposed by Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>.
  * Specify new DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT variable for R³ support.
  * Add new --rules-requires-root option to dpkg-buildpackage.
  * Declare R³ specification as "recommendation, stable" with version 1.0.
  * Export architecture variables by default from architecture.mk, as
    documented in dpkg-architecture(1). Closes: #888964
    Thanks to Jack Bates <wdz7eo@nottheoilrig.com>
  * Increment the line number on dpkg --set-selections on unknown packages.
    Reported by Heinz Repp <heinz.repp@arcor.de>. Closes: #888983
  * Switch a DEBIAN/conffile parsing assert() in dpkg due to empty lines
    into an ohshit(), because this is really a run-time error.
  * Fix assert() in dselect to expect the method lock file descriptor to be
    initialized, instead of non-zero.
  * Switch a fatal() call in start-stop-daemon into the new BUG() macro,
    because it is really an internal error.
  * Switch all assert() calls (except in update-alternatives) into internerr()
    or BUG() calls, to get way better reporting with variable contents and
    descriptions, and to make them always present independent of NDEBUG.
  * Add a new --no-rename option to dpkg-divert. This is the current default
    behavior, but it will make it possible to do a default switch in 1.20.x.
  * Warn when using dpkg-divert --add or --remove w/o --rename or --no-rename.
  * Warn when using dpkg-divert --rename on a file from an Essential package.
  * Use a single “struct filenamenode” definition for the entire code base.
    Closes: #746766
  * Add support for frontend locking. This makes it possible for frontends
    using this new protocol, to safely lock the dpkg database w/o risk of
    race conditions with other dpkg instances or frontends supporting the
    same protocol. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>.
    Closes: #850417, #851984
  * Do not emit perl warnings in dpkg-source --help on source formats w/o
    options.
  * Make dpkg-buildpackage validate OpenPGP signing key IDs length. Error out
    for short key IDs and warn for long key IDs.
  * On the dpkg conffile prompt, print the set of environment variables setup
    for the conffile shell, for easier discoverability.
  * Fix dpkg-buildpackage option --rules-file parsing. It was trying to parse
    it as --rules-target, which due to the ordering was a no-op.
  * Only check for fallback build targets presence on binary builds in
    dpkg-buildpackage.
  * Only check required build dependencies for known targets specified with
    dpkg-buildpackage --rules-target option.
    Reported by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
  * Track package status dirtiness in dpkg to only log and report in status-fd
    when it has changed, removing duplication in output. Closes: #365921
  * Use Synopsis instead of Summary for the short Description, to unify the
    nomenclature and to make it more descriptive. Add a new binary:Synopsis
    virtual field to dpkg-query show format.
  * Add new dpkg-buildpackage --no-post-clean option, to be able to explicitly
    select the current default behavior.
  * Dump database package records in alphabetical order. This will give
    reproducible status and available database files, and make it possible
    to output other deb822 formatted data in a deterministic way.
  * Require both standard input and output to be connected to a terminal to
    use a pager.
  * Run dpkg-query --list output through a pager if we are on a terminal,
    instead of truncating it, to avoid data loss. Closes: #898603
  * Fix use after free in dpkg maintainer script handling. Regression
    introduced in dpkg 1.19.0.
  * Flush output for dpkg-query --status, --print-avail and --listfiles at
    the end, instead of after each stanza.
  * Add support for dumping all dpkg-query --status and --print-avail records
    from the database when no arguments are specified. Closes: #616342
  * Add new dpkg-gensymbols -l option to avoid having to abuse LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    for cross-build paths.
  * Check that DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is defined in dpkg-maintscript-helper.
    Closes: #907772
  * Switch dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges to track automatically
    generated artifacts by using the Auto-Built-Package field from the binary
    package instead of hardcoding package name patterns (such as «-dbgsym$»).
  * Add new --reverse option to dpkg-parsechangelog, to list the changelog
    entries in reverse order.
  * Architecture support:
    - Add support for riscv64 CPU. Closes: #822914
      Thanks to Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>
    - Document the purpose and columns in the tupletable file.
  * Portability:
    - Add libcompat md5 module to the libcompat-test library, so that we
      always make sure it builds, even when we use an external implementation.
    - Convert libcompat md5 module to use C99 int types, instead of mapping
      them from the BSD types at configure time.
    - Use MD5_CTX instead of struct MD5Context, as the prevalent more portable
      type on system's <md5.h> headers.
    - Check for ldconfig command in dpkg only on platforms that do have it.
    - Fix file descriptor leak in start-stop-daemon on AIX.
    - libcompat: Add new strchrnul() implementation.
  * Perl modules:
    - Dpkg::Source::Package::V1: Check that $tarname is defined before use.
      Thanks to Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
      Closes: #879124
    - Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Use proper %use_feature key. This was causing perl
      errors on paths not accepted for fixdebugpath.
      Reported by Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org>, on IRC. Closes: #881051
    - Dpkg::Changelog: Print versions for incorrect changelog range warnings.
      Thanks to Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>.
    - Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Check that $state->{seen} exists instead of
      $state being just defined. Fixes regression in dpkg-gensymbols symbols
      output. Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev <mitya57@debian.org>. Closes: #880166
    - Dpkg::Arch: Add new positive options argument to arch validators.
    - Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark hurd-i386 as having gcc builtin PIE.
      Requested by Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>.
    - Dpkg::Source::Package::V2: Print one building line per existing tarball.

      signatures. Closes: #888787
    - Dpkg::Deps: Turn virtualpkg tracking from an arrayyref into a hashref.
    - Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Mark riscv64 as having gcc builtin PIE.
    - Dpkg::Shlibs::Objdump: Fix ELF program detection, for PIE binaries and
      executable libraries.
    - Dpkg::Version: Fix bool overload behavior back to be an is_valid()
      alias. Emit a specific perl warning until 1.20.x so that users can check
      whether the semantic change has any impact on the code, which can then
      be quiesced. Closes: #895004
    - Dpkg::Changelog::Parse: When detecting the changelog format, read the
      last 4KiB of the file instead of using «tail -n40», which should be
      both faster and more portable, as the default tail(1) is not POSIX
      compliant on all systems (c.f. Solaris).
    - Dpkg::Build::Types: Add new set_build_type_from_targets() function.
    - Dpkg::Shlibs::SymbolFile: Always assign a proper Dpkg::Version to the
      deprecated variable, otherwise the scalar value 0 can get confused
      on scalar context to denote it is *not* deprecated instead of being
      version 0.
    - Dpkg::Shlibs: Disable bool overload Dpkg::Version warnings.
    - Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Inline _parse_feature_area() into
      _add_build_flags(), for a small speed up and line count reduction.
    - Dpkg::BuildFlags: Move default flags setting into the Dpkg::Vendor
      modules.
    - Dpkg::Gettext: Fix fallback textdomain() to honor its expected interface.
    - Dpkg::Deps: Split subpackages into their own separate modules.
    - Dpkg::Source: Do not change patch permissions if not necessary.
      Closes: #898010
    - Dpkg::Substvars: Reword used/unused warnings to clarify their meaning.
      Closes: #904258
    - Dpkg::Shlibs: Warn when using LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a private library
      directory which is a descendent of the current working directory.
    - Dpkg::Source::Package::V3::Quilt: Print series file used when applying
      patches.
    - Dpkg::OpenPGP: Return the destination path on successful ASCII armor
      conversion.
    - Dpkg::Control::Fields: Do not use & sigil for function calls.
    - Dpkg::Shlibs: Ignore nonexistent directories present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
    - Dpkg::Deps::KnownFacts: Satisfy :native with arch:all packages too.
      These are treated as native packages everywhere else in the multi-arch
      design, this was the only exception, which has become a source of
      packaging problems as of late. This was apparently an oversight in
      the original implementation. Closes: #854438
    - Dpkg::Vendor::Debian: Add fixfilepath support to reproducible feature.
    - Dpkg::Dist::Files: Add support for file attributes.
  * Documentation:
    - Update gettext minimal version in README.

    - Document the dangers of using start-stop-daemon(8) only with --pidfile
      as matching option with the pid file owned by a non-privileged user.
  * Code internals:
    - Do not use stringy eval to define different sub implementations,
      just assign an anonymous sub to the typeglob.
    - Use memccpy() instead of strncpy() to quiesce a gcc-8 warning.
    - Change pkgbin_name_needs_arch() to never arch-qualify packages that
      have an empty or no architecture, which was already handled as part
      of varbuf_add_archqual().
    - libdpkg: Factor out cached arch-qualified package name generation into
      new pkgbin_name_archqual() function.
    - libdpkg: Add new pkg_name() and pkgbin_name() const variants.
    - libdpkg, dselect: Use new pkg_name_const() and pkgbin_name_const().
    - libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.
    - dpkg: Call ensure_package_clientdata() defensively.

      track the previous entry.
    - libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.
    - libdpkg: Switch to a new tiny struct to track file on-disk identity.
      This should reduce the run-time memory used.
    - libdpkg: Reset nfiles in files_db_reset().
    - libdpkg: Split push_cleanup() into push_cleanup_fallback().
    - Switch from strchr() + strlen() to strchrnul().
    - libdpkg: Change dpkg_error to track errno values.
    - libdpkg: Add new varbuf_new() and varbuf_free() functions.
    - libdpkg: Add new file_slurp() function.
    - libdpkg: Switch db-fsys to use the new file_slurp() function.
    - libdpkg: Add new pkg_infodb_reset_dir().
    - libdpkg: Add new m_dup() function.
    - libdpkg: Factor out package stanza printing into its own function.
    - libdpkg: Split pager specific code into its own module.
    - libdpkg: Add pager spawning and reaping support.
    - Use new pager spawning support instead of open-coding it, or piping it
      via a shell invocation, which required metacharacter escaping.
    - dpkg-query: Split enqperpackage() into each different action.
  * Build system:
    - Set distribution tarball format to ustar, instead of default v7 format.
    - Mark PO4A and POD2MAN as precious variables.

    - Distribute the man.stamp from VPATH.
    - Preserve timestamps when distributing man pages.
    - Add a GitLab CI configuration file.
    - Disable C optimization levels when configuring for code coverage.
  * Packaging:
    - Install update-alternatives policykit-1 file.
    - Add Breaks to libdpkg-perl against pkg-kde-tools (<< 0.15.28~), as
      that package is using private modules with no API guarantees, that
      obviously broke due to recent changes in 1.19.0. Closes: #878919
    - Add Breaks on debhelper << 10.10.1~ to dpkg-dev, so that debhelper users
      wanting to use R³ support do not need a versioned dependency on dpkg-dev.
    - Add Breaks dgit << 3.13~ to libdpkg-perl, as older dgit versions assumed
      that Dpkg::Compression::Process was available, via implicit import
      from Dpkg::Source::Package.
      Reported by Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>.
    - Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.1 (no changes needed).
    - Add bzip2 and xz-utils to Build-Depends, required by the functional test
      suite, but shadowed by dpkg-dev from the build system pulling those in.
    - Add versioned libncurses-dev as the first Build-Depends alternative.
      Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>.
    - Do not pass VERBOSE to test suite, as we are not using any automake
      test driver, so it does not get honored.
    - Rename maintainer-build DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to new standardized terse.
    - Enable verbose test suite only in non-terse builds.
    - Add a Suggests on sensible-utils to libdpkg-perl.
    - Switch libdpkg-perl again to depend on perl:any, now that debootstrap
      in stable (stretch) supports arch-qualified dependencies.
    - Update libdpkg-perl public module list in package description.
    - Add Breaks on apt (<< 1.7~b) for --status-fd duplicate removals.
  * Test suite:
    - Skip Dpkg::OpenPGP test if gpg is not present.
    - Check POD in all perl scripts.
    - Consider *.PL also to be perl files.
    - Infer automatically the unit test data directory.
    - Infer automatically the unit test temp directory.
    - Add new po author test case (use i18nspector if available).
    - Add new test cases to clarify arch-qualified dependency simplification.
    - Add several TODO tests cases for dependency simplification.
    - Add new cppcheck author test.
    - Add support for new test_get_srcdir() test_get_builddir().
    - Add new unit tests for namevalue, fsys-hash and pkg-hash libdpkg modules.
    - Improve coverage of perl unit tests.
    - Delete fixup lines from i18nspector output instead of emptying them.
    - Add new codespell author test.
    - Add new test that the public libdpkg headers can be compiled with C++.

- Migrate u-a data from /var/lib/rpm instead of relying on dbpath:
  no u-a version ever installed files explicitly into dbpath, but
  always hard specified /var/lib/rpm. The fact that RPM moved its
  database is irrelevant to update-alternatives. In case RPM moved
  it's database, our files are still accessible via the
  /var/lib/rpm symlink being put in place.
- Drop the arbitrary depenency on a specific rpm version: the idea
  was to ensure to have an rpm with the new dbpath location in
  place. For one, the dependency does not work as intended, and
  2nd, as the migration now happens explicitly from the old u-a
  admindir without relying on dbpath, is no longer needed.
