+ * dpkg-gencontrol: Check presence of package build dir before traversing it.
+ * Perl modules:

+ 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

+ * Check that DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is defined in dpkg-maintscript-helper.
+ Closes: #907772
+ * Switch dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges to track automatically

+ * 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.

+ 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

+ - 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.

+ modules.
+ - Dpkg::Gettext: Fix fallback textdomain() to honor its expected interface.

+ 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.

+ - Fix typo in deb-changes(5). Closes: #902616
+ - Clarify awaiting state for interest and activate directives.
+ Closes: #904060
+ - Fix man page markup. Closes: #900033, #900035, #900040

+ - Fix Doxygen comment for libdpkg dpkg_arch_find() function.
+ - 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

+ - libdpkg: Rename struct pkginfo files member to archives.
+ - dpkg: Call ensure_package_clientdata() defensively.
+ - dpkg: For read-only state functions, check that clientdata is allocated
+ before using it.
+ - libdpkg: Move files list information from dpkg clientdata to pkginfo.
+ - dpkg: Move ensure_package_clientdata() into its own file.
+ - libdpkg: Move db-fsys code from src to lib/dpkg.
+ - libdpkg: Rename pkg-db module to pkg-hash.
+ - libdpkg: Simplify pkg_files_blank() by using a pointer to pointer to
+ track the previous entry.
+ - libdpkg: Factor out package files handling into its own module.

+ * 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

+ - Enable verbose test suite only in non-terse builds.
+ - Add a Suggests on sensible-utils to libdpkg-perl.

+ 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:

+
+ [ Guillem Jover ]
+ * Add missing symbols to the libdpkg map file.
+ * Fix dpkg-shlibdeps to preserve the Dpkg::Shlibs::find_library() order
+ when scanning symbols/shlibs files. This was causing generation of bogus
+ dependencies when multiple packages provide the same SONAME on different
+ directories. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.17. Closes: #860979

+ octal characters (0-7), followed by zero or more space or NULs.
+ - Add support for base-256 encoded numeric fields, to support large
+ values, for UID/GID, device number, size and even signed timestamps.
+ This is necessary not only to be able to store larger values, but to
+ cover packages that can already be generated by dpkg-deb, given that

+ - Remove obsolete hardening-wrapper support from Dpkg::Vendor::Ubuntu.
+ Thanks to Adam Conrad <adconrad@0c3.net>.
+ - Bump $Dpkg::Deps::VERSION to match the one documented in CHANGES.
+ - Ignore by default debian/files.new and debian/files for all source
+ formats in Dpkg::Source::Package, because these are generated files
+ with well known pathnames, part of the public interface, and with
+ dpkg-genbuildinfo always injecting .buildinfo entries into
+ debian/files, this meant this could disrupt previous workflows based
+ on not cleaning the source tree.
+ * Documentation:
+ - Many spelling fixes. Thanks to Josh Soref <jsoref@gmail.com>.
+ - Do not include misspellings in changelogs, as that makes detecting them
+ more difficult.
+ * Build system:
+ - Use libexec variable for auxiliary internal programs, and set it to
+ /usr/lib on Debian and derivatives.
+ - Check that the detected tar is a GNU tar.
+ - Check that the detected patch is a GNU patch, so that we get a directory
+ traversal resistant patch implementation. This fixes CVE-2017-8283 by
+ delegating those checks to patch(1), so that we trap blank-indented
+ diff hunks trying to escape from the source tree.
+ * Test suite:
+ - Add a test case for blank-indented patches which were the cause for
+ CVE-2017-8283.
+ - Handle files with non-zero sizes in c-tarextract libdpkg test code.

+ - Turn the update-alternatives(1) --query example item into a sub-section.
+ - Turn the Multi-Arch values into a list in deb-control(5).
+ - Improve user-defined field export marker documentation in
+ deb-src-control(5); clarify that X can be followed by zero or more
+ (instead of one or more) letters and turn the items into a proper list.
+ - Generate the man pages at build time. This makes it possible to process
+ them and update several variable strings such as system and package
+ pathnames, the release date and the dpkg suite version. And makes it
+ possible to use UTF-8 in the source and convert to the more conservative
+ groff escape sequences on the output.
+ - Switch from groff escape sequences to UTF-8 in man pages sources.
+ - Disable hyphenation in man pages globally, because it performs very
+ poorly on many technical terms.
+ - Append the German man pages addendum at the end of the translation,
+ instead of assuming that every page has the SEE ALSO section.
+ - Explicitly mention that Dpkg::Checksums::add_from_file() is used to
+ verify digests too. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
+ - Document the behavior for consecutive calls to Dpkg perl module parse()
+ methods. Prompted by Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>.
+ - Document obsolete functions in Dpkg::Conf.
+ * Test suite:
+ - Make test main function a TEST_ENTRY macro. This avoids confusing
+ coverage programs, as the file that actually contains the main function
+ is the test itself.
+ - Rename test suite commands to be prefixed with «c-» instead of «t-».
+ - Add new dpkg-source functional tests.
+ - Add new dpkg-buildpackage functional tests.
+ - Add an initial functional test suite for dpkg-deb and dpkg-split.
+ - Skip the involved tests if IO::String is missing.
+ - Add new unit test for libdpkg error handling.
+ - Delete MAKEFLAGS environment variable when testing make invocations.
+ - Pass -q to grep command to suppress matched output in pod-coverage.t.
+ - Ignore POD coverage for partially private modules.
+ * Build system:
+ - Add support for profiling perl modules.
+ - Clean up compiler and linker automatic flag usage in configure.
+ - Fix the __progname check to avoid the optimizer discarding the symbol.
+ - Fix M4sh/Autoconf coding style. Add a new section to coding-style.txt
+ describing M4sh/Autoconf.
+ - Disable C++ exceptions for dselect.
+ - Fix typo in SELinux library detection code, only affecting static
+ mode (not used in Debian). Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.8.
+ - Change --with-* option logic to default to check.
+ - Disable -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (for clang).
+ - Check the availability of -W<warning> variant instead of -Wno-<warning>.
+ As at least gcc and clang do not warn on -Wno-* warning flags, only
+ when some unrelated warning needs to be emitted.
+ - Bump po4a version to 0.43 (we are using --porefs wrap option).
+ - Add support for running the test suite in parallel.
+ - Specify exec argument for TAP::Harness to gracefully handle non-perl
+ executables with older versions of the module.
+ - Require libselinux 2.0.99 for baseline API, remove static linking
+ support, use pkg-config unconditionally, and perform refinement checks
+ only if available.
+ - Check for the required minimal perl version.
+ - Use builddir instead of CURDIR in man Makefile.am.
+ - Use cp with -R instead of -r (the former is more portable and not
+ marked as deprecated by POSIX).
+ - Print an actual newline instead of a literal \n in lcov output.
+ - Do not honor DPKG_DATADIR on the installed Dpkg module.
+ - Pass --as-needed to the linker for dselect to avoid libstdc++ dependency.
+ Which makes of dselect the only front-end not pulling the C++ run-time.

+ + Use --porefs=noline for po4a command.
+ - Wrap file references in man page PO files with po4a --porefs=wrap.
+ - Fix support for cross-building dpkg:
+ + Assume a working C99 snprintf on SUS >= v3.
+ + Do not try to run the va_copy configure check, just check that the
+ symbol is available.
+ - Check that HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST is 0 instead of undefined, to fix a

+ * Link the libdpkg unit tests with libcompat and libintl, so that systems
+ needing them will compile correctly.
+ * Check for the presence of the strnlen declaration and correctly provide
+ the compat one in case the systems lacks it.
+ * Do not assume existence of paths on the build system in the test suite.
+ * Do not fail to link dselect on MacOS X when using --disable-nls.
+ * Remove versioned coreutils Pre-Depends from dpkg due to the ancient
+ md5sum transition. Reported by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>.
+ Closes: #643746
+ * Change dpkg-architecture to only compute the requested variables. This:
+ - Fixes the bootstrapping problem, as the dpkg build system only needs
+ the host architecture, for which dpkg itself is not required.
+ - Reduces the amount of work performed, including loading and parsing
+ unnecessary table files or calling either of gcc or dpkg programs.
+ * Improve error message in dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-gensymbols when

+ * Treat dpkg-deb compression level independently for each backend. This
+ has the effect of changing the current behaviour for level 0 on all
+ compressors except gzip.
+ * Add new dpkg-deb -S option to specify the compression strategy. The only
+ currently supported value is “extreme” for xz. Closes: #647915
+ * Stop using brace expansion to install man pages by using dh_installman
+ instead of dh_install, the former does not abort on empty glob expansion.
+ * Do not use absolute paths for programs in perl and shell code.

+ --ignore-depends option.
+ * Change dpkg-query to not load the available file by default for --list
+ and --show, add a new --load-avail option to expose the old behaviour.
+ * Only allow setting selections via «dpkg --set-selections» for known
+ packages (i.e. those present in either the status or available files).
+ * Always ignore older versions when parsing the available file, not only
+ for --update-avail and --merge-avail.
+ * Mark not-installed non-arch-qualified selections for removal.
+ * Add new «dpkg --assert-multi-arch» command to allow checking for
+ multi-arch support availability.

+ * Modify dpkg-gencontrol and dpkg-distaddfile to grab a write lock
+ on debian/control before updating debian/files to avoid simultaneous
+ updates. Closes: #642608
+ Add libfile-fcntllock-perl to dpkg-dev's Depends since we use this module
+ to handle the locking.
+ * Update dpkg-gensymbols(1) to clarify that -e accepts shell patterns
+ expansions and not regular expressions. And let dpkg-gensymbols output a
+ warning when a pattern doesn't match any file. Closes: #649248
+ * Add new option "-a <arch>" to dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check build
+ dependencies for another architecture. This is really basic for now since
+ it assumes all build dependencies must be satisfied on the listed
+ architecture. Closes: #648180 Thanks to Colin Watson for the patch.

+ the framework, 3 basic pattern types are supported:
+ - c++ - matching C++ symbols by their demangled name (as emitted by
+ c++filt);
+ - symver - matching by symbol version. It replaces the wildcards feature
+ which is still supported for backwards compatibility but is reimplemented
+ on top of the new framework;
+ - regex - matching symbol names with perl regular expression.
+ Basic patterns may be combined where it makes sense.
+ * As a positive side effect of the new symbol patterns implementation,
+ patterns are now treated like normal symbols whenever possible, e.g. a
+ pattern is MISSING if it does not match anything. As a result,
+ dpkg-gensymbols is now able to detect NEW/MISSING symbols when patterns are

+ multiple source package formats. Several new source package formats have
+ been added:
+ - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
+ - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
+ debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
+ outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
+ are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
+ --include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
+ Closes: #4588, #4628
+ - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
+ documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
+ - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
+ named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
+ headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018

+ by default. Closes: #203792, #323909

+ - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
+ - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
+ default. Closes: #435126
+ - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
+ containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
+ generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
+ (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
+ - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based

+ * Add mipseb and mipsel to the archtable too, since mips and mipseb are
+ both viable names for the mips big endian arch, and mipsel is also needed
+ * Update dpkg-architecture's archtable
+ * Added --config option to update-alternatives to allow easy changing
+ of the registered alternatives for a specific name
+ * Updated the deb-control(5) man page with all the current fields
+ and uses
+ * Made the large info screen show 5 lines of the pkglist so that
+ it scrolled properly, and still showed the cursor in dselect
+ * Removed references to dpkg(5) which seems to not exist anymore
+ * Fixed `dpkg-deb --help' and dpkg-deb(1) from reporting --no-check
+ when it's actually --nocheck (went with the hardcoded option, so
+ this is just a documentation fix).
+ * Added better check in disk.setup for a working NFS server. Makes
+ it compatible with other non-Linux servers.
+ * Corrected dpkg(8)'s example of using dpkg -i (showed it used with
+ a .tar.gz instead of a .deb)
+ * Applied patch to correct improper TMPDIR handling in dpkg-deb
+ * When encountering an error in extracting the tar archives in the
+ packages, we should abort the install, not simply give an error
+ and continue.
+ * Make dpkg give the builtin arch if there was an error while exec()'ing
+ the C compiler with --print-architecture. We still fail if the
+ output from gcc was bad in some way, since they may be of importance.
+ * Removed the maintainer-configure portion in debian/rules, since
+ we should be shipping the source with all the auto* stuff
+ already generated anyway
+ * Removed the ltconfig patch, and resort to a debian/rules fix
+ to libtool itself after running configure
+ * Removed shlibs.default.i386. It's now a template for arch porting to
+ Debian/dpkg, we install it still, if there exists a file matching the
+ arch
+ * Reimplemented a better *stat cache for the removal checking code,
+ this helps a lot when doing upgrades where the packages are a lot
+ different in layout
+ * Increased largemem auto detection to >= 24megs, since it's not uncommon
+ for dpkg to actually use 16megs of ram all on its own when using the
+ largemem setting (old minimum was 16megs)
+ * debian/rules: chmod -x everything in /usr/lib to make lintian happy.
+ in the clean phase just rm -rf $(BUILD), we don't need to run
+ distclean and all that other stuff. Don't run "make dist", we
+ simply copy the .tar.gz that dpkg-source creates for the byhand
+ source.
+ * Make start-stop-daemon exit(1) when we don't find one of the
+ pid's we are trying to kill, in accordance with the man page.
+ * When running --configure on an already installed package, just
+ say it's installed, and not that it is in an unconfigurable
+ state
+ * Fixed some compiler warnings
+ * Make dpkg check for uid 0 requirement, before checking the path
+ since not being root, is probably the reason that the PATH is
+ borked in the first place
+ * Make -p short for --print-avail, and -P short for --purge
+ * Fix typo in md5sum(1) man page
+ * start-stop-daemon: Add --background and --make-pidfile options
+ * update-alternatives: make sure we remove "old" symlinks when they
+ are no longer pertinent. Add /etc/alternatives/README that refers
+ to the update-alternatives(8) man page.
+ * dpkg-divert: Add check for being able to write to the old/new
+ destination before doing a rename. We fail on this, without

+* Added --no-also-select instead of not auto-selecting on --unpack
+ but doing so on --install; removed --force-unpack-any.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.25:
+
+* Fixed duplicate output (failure to flush before fork) bug.
+* More clarification of md5sum.c copyright.
+* Corrected typo in ChangeLog in 0.93.24 source package.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.24:
+
+* dpkg could copy conffiles info from one package to another. Aargh.
+ Bug #426.
+* dpkg failed to initialise status if you tried to remove or
+ configure a nonexistent package. Bug #419.
+* install-info now handles START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY entries like:
+ * Gdb:: The GNU debugger.
+ Previously it would only accept (Bug #407):
+ * Gdb: (gdb). The GNU debugger.
+* When installing a new foo.info[.gz], install-info now replaces
+ * Foo: (foo.info). The Gnoo Foo.
+ as well as just * Foo: (foo). ...
+* Moved option parsing out of dpkg-deb into libdpkg.
+* Assorted minor source code rearrangements.
+* Fixed assorted copyright notices, clarified md5sum copyright.
+* Corrected typo in 0.93.23 source package's ChangeLog.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.23:
+
+* `dpkg-deb' --build now does a syntax check on the control file.
+* `dselect' is now no longer called `debian', spurious copy removed
+ from package top-level source directory.
+* C control information parsing complete and somewhat tested.
+* Moved `global' include files into $(srcdir)/include from ../lib,
+ added some files to the lib Makefile, and arranged for pop_cleanup().
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.22:
+
+* Fixed bug which caused dpkg to see failures of md5sum where there
+ were none (would also have caused dpkg to miss a real failure).
+* Fixed failure to update some `status' database fields.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.21:
+
+* Fixed error-handling bug which could corrupt database.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.20:
+
+* Fixed bug which ran old (/var/adm/dpkg) postinst scripts.
+* Fixed dpkg usage message which claimed -i => both --install & --info.
+* Use Colin Plumb's MD5 code - faster, and better copyright.
+* Manpages: dpkg-deb(8), deb-control(5), deb(5) - thanks to Raul
+ Deluth Miller. Also, an xfig picture of some C program innards.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.19:
+
+* Don't delete the `list' file from the dpkg database.
+* Fixed various bugs in the conffile handling.
+* Conffiles that are symlinks will now be treated as if the
+ `dereferenced' name of the file was listed in conffiles. This means
+ that /etc/foo -> /usr/etc/foo will cause all conffile updates of
+ /etc/foo to create /usr/etc/foo.dpkg-tmp &c instead. However, the
+ link will be removed if --purge is used to delete all the conffiles.
+* When doing a new installation, or when updating a conffile that
+ wasn't listed as a conffile in the old version of the package, don't
+ do any prompting but just install the version from the archive.
+* Corrected error message if exec of dpkg --vextract failed
+ and --instroot or --root specified.
+* Added new --force-unpack-any option.
+* Extra newline after --status output.
+* Added -W options to CFLAGS.
+* Fixed mistake in previous ChangeLog entry.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.18:
+
+* Fixed invocation of dpkg-deb --vextract if --root or --instdir
+ not specified.
+* Create /var/lib/dpkg/updates.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.17:
+
+* install-info --remove exits with status 0 if it doesn't find the
+ thing to remove, instead of status 1.
+* Error handling functions have __attribute__((format...)) if GCC.
+* push_cleanup its arg takes void **argv instead of char **argv.
+* Top-level Makefile.in has set -e before `for' loops.
+* dpkg-deb --info not-an-existing-file produces fewer error messages.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.16:
+
+* Made --root= option really extract to $instroot instead of `/'.
+* install-info clears the 0444 bits in its umask.
+* Fixed a few database handling bugs which cause dpkg always to fail,
+ and usually to corrupt the status database in various ways.
+* dpkg-deb completely rewritten, now doesn't tinker with
+ /var/{adm,lib}/dpkg. Should be faster.
+* Directory structure and Makefiles in source package reorganised.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.15:
+
+* Added `debian' (dselect), still very primitive.
+* Database format changed, and moved from /var/adm to /var/lib.
+* Added dpkg --avail mode, --list, --status and --search.
+* Set of dpkg => dpkg-deb pass-through operations changed (but
+ dpkg-deb not yet updated).
+* Added --root, --admindir and --instdir, as well as --isok &c.
+* Moved much stuff into /usr/lib/dpkg-lib.pl, rewritten status
+ database handling.
+* Put packages in `purge' state even if `deinstall' requested if
+ they have no postrm and no conffiles.
+* Version number comparisons fixed.
+* insert-version.pl now installs lib.pl filename too.
+* Strip trailing slashes when reading files from file lists.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.14:
+
+* Fixed parsing of DEPENDS &c fields with trailing whitespace.
+* postinst now fixes up broken ispell.control file.
+* Cyclic dependency/multiple package removal processing: don't consider
+ packages we've just removed when looking for a reason not to go ahead.
+* Added call to postinst with `purge' argument for expunging old
+ configuration etc. that aren't listed in conffiles.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.13:
+
+* sub S_ISREG defined in dpkg.pl.
+* Checking of DEPENDS &c fields was too lax, causing an internal error
+ if you fed it certain kinds of broken control file.
+* Fixed misleading message from bogus installationstatus call.
+* New -u and -U options to dpkg-deb which don't unpack the /DEBIAN
+ directory, and use these in dpkg.pl; clean up /DEBIAN in postinst.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.12:
+
+* No longer needs *.ph files, since these appear to be broken.
+* Postinst fixes up *.control files with curly brackets.
+* embryo of dselect.
+
+Changes in dpkg 0.93.11:
+
+* New --ignore-depends option.
+* This ChangeLog changed format here.
+
+Wed Nov 30 15:38:21 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.11 released.
+
+ * conffile updating fixed.
+
+ * Message `upgrade' in dpkg changed to `replace'.
+
+ * install-info now copes with multi-line entries.
+
+ * version numbers now done automatically in dpkg and install-info.
+
+ * more debugging around conffiles updates.
+
+ * *.hash files not deleted so soon.
+
+ * adds brand new packages to status array so we can install them.
+
+ * postinst does h2ph for {sys,linux}/{stat,types}.ph if required.
+
+Mon Nov 28 02:00:13 GMT 1994 Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.10 released.
+
+ * dpkg.pl completely rewritten.
+
+ * dpkg-deb: removed dabase-processing and --install option.
+
+ * Makefiles reworked, debian.rules added.
+
+ * Don't install anything in /usr/doc/examples.
+
+ * dpkg-*.deb contains /usr/bin/dpkg-deb.dist, fixed up by postinst.
+
+Thu Oct 20 13:22:20 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.9 released.
+
+ * dpkg.pl: Use $argument, not $package, with `--build'.
+ Make sure that saved postinst scripts are executable.
+
+Tue Oct 18 09:40:57 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.8 released.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Do not report an error from rmdir ()
+ when `errno' is ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty), because in this
+ case we have found the highest-level directory in the package and
+ are ready to exit the loop (i.e., it is a normal occurrence).
+
+Mon Oct 17 10:44:32 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * Makefile.in: Adapted all Makefiles to the GNU Coding Standards.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Make sure that parent directories are
+ removed LAST! This will result in complete removal of packages
+ when --remove is called. dpkg 0.93.7 (and earlier) had problems
+ with this because it tried to remove directories in order, which
+ will work most of the time, but not necessarily all of the time.
+
+ * deb/list.c (pkg_list): Output is sorted by package name.
+
+Tue Oct 4 12:27:10 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): When a list file cannot be
+ opened, silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): When a control file cannot be opened,
+ silently fail and let the front-end explain the problem.
+
+ * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Exit 0 if the regular expression is
+ matched and 1 if it is not.
+
+Mon Oct 3 18:38:53 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg.pl: New file. Replaces dpkg.sh.
+
+ * deb/Makefile.in: Renamed `dpkg-util.deb' to `dpkg-deb'.
+
+ * deb/build.c (pkg_build): `--build' is less verbose, instead
+ letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_install): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/search.c (pkg_search): Ditto.
+
+ * deb/describe.c (pkg_describe): `--describe' is less verbose,
+ instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+ The ``Description:'' label has been removed.
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' is less verbose,
+ instead letting the front-end add verbosity where appropriate.
+ The ``Version:'' label has been removed, as has the maintainer
+ information.
+
+Mon Sep 12 14:22:04 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): `--version' now reports the
+ version number of dpkg if no argument is specified.
+
+Thu Sep 1 13:31:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.7 released.
+
+ * deb/build.c (pkg_build): check status and exit if non-zero.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): ditto.
+
+ * deb/install.c (archive_extract): ditto.
+
+Thu Sep 1 13:20:08 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * deb/version.c (pkg_version): indent to the same point as
+ pkg_describe.
+
+Thu Sep 1 12:21:11 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * Makefile.in (dist): added debian.rules binary, source and
+ dist targets to make final distribution easier to make.
+ (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+ * deb/Makefile.in (install): install programs to /usr/bin.
+
+ * deb/list.c (pkg_list): enforce a maximum limit of ten characters
+ for the package name in the output.
+ (pkg_list): left-justify the version number to make it easier for
+ the front-end to parse the output.
+ (pkg_list): replace first '\n' character in packages[n].description
+ with '\0'.
+
+ * deb/install.c (archive_extract): use the `p' option to `tar' to
+ ensure that permissions are preserved.
+
+Sat Aug 27 09:53:37 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.6 released.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): only unlink CONTROL if ARCHIVE_FLAG is
+ true!
+
+Fri Aug 26 15:38:22 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * dpkg 0.93.5 released.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): merged function archive_contents
+ into function pkg_contents.
+
+ * deb/contents.c (pkg_contents): use lstat (rather than stat) so
+ that symbolic links are recognized.
+ (pkg_contents): print the usual `<path> -> <link_to>' now that we
+ recognize symbolic links.
+
+ * deb/util.c (return_info): create a FIFO to pipe the needed
+ information to the ``formatter'' rather than creating a directory
+ in /tmp for the package information, which is what we used to do.
+
+Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 Ian Murdock (imurdock@debra.debian.org)
+
+ * lib/fake-ls.c (mk_date_string): return a pointer to malloc'ed
+ area.
+ (mk_mode_string): ditto.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: make sure the control information is extracted to a
+ uniquely-named temporary directory during package installation.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: execute the pre- and post-removal scripts during
+ package removal.
+
+ * dpkg.sh: exit immediately if dpkg-util.deb reports failure.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_control): make sure that `package' exists and
+ is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_extract): make sure that `package' exists and
+ is a Debian archive before doing anything.
+
+ * deb/install.c (pkg_install): unlink `extract_output' when done.
+
+ * deb/remove.c (pkg_remove): use lstat (rather than stat) so that
+ --remove does not get confused and think that a symbolic link to a
+ directory is actually a directory, which results in the symbolic
+ link never being removed at all.
+
