Thanks. I will fix it in Ubuntu after the Quantal release to not loose

Bug#690071: ecryptfs: corrupted files on a disk full event

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.23-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After a running into a full disk event with my ecrypts encrypted home directory
I get the following messages:

[ 1477.919780] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or
xattr region, inode 3328393
[ 1477.919788] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format,
or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not
enabled; returning -EIO

I see a lot of random broken files on my system:

~$ find $HOME/.Private/ -size 0c -exec ls '{}' \; | wc -l
84

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/957843

It seems that there are patches available by Ubuntu.

Thanks

Bug#690071: ecryptfs: corrupted files on a disk full event

[Sebastian Heinlein]

I had a short conversation with one of the upstream developers, Tyler
Hicks. It seems that there are still two other patches required: 
"For completeness, I wanted to point out two more patches which should
be added to the list I gave in comment 20. 821f749 introduced a
regression and these two patches are needed to fix the regression:

64e6651 eCryptfs: Call lower ->flush() from ecryptfs_flush()
7149f25 eCryptfs: Write out all dirty pages just before releasing the
lower file

Actually, 7149f25 is the only one required but I recommend 64e6651, as
well."

Bug#690071: ecryptfs: corrupted files on a disk full event

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Hello Jonathan und Thyler,

Applying all 5 patches fixed all issues for me.

I don't get any zero sized files anymore with a full disk (find
$HOME/.Private/ -size 0c). I can even login with the user having a full
disk (before often a broken .ICEauthority made this inpossible. I could
not see any data corruptions in applications (Evolution, Iceweasel).

The dd command which fills up the disk also exits correctly.

Thanks

Bug#703217: software-properties: Duplicate Updates Mechansims with PackageKit

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: software-properties
Version: software-properties-gtk
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

PackageKit is now used by default in the GNOME desktop. Software-properties-gtk
proovides a way to configure the daily APT cron job. But the PackageKit already
has got an update mechanism and configuration options in the user interface. So
we end up with two separate configuration options that do not affect each
other.

Cheers,

Sebastian

 Furthermore the GNOME and KDE PackageKit applications provide already

 But software-properties configures the daily APT cron job. 
 To avoid having two concurrent mechanisms this patch disables the updates
 tab in the software-properties user interface.

Actually I plan to remove the HTTP proxy support per transaction.
It is just a security risk, since we want to allow updating the cache
or upgrading the system to every console user on a desktop system.

Perhaps it makes sense to add a property on the daemon interface which
would modify the apt configuration to support package proxies.

Hello,

there are some concerns of Debian developers against the non
interactiveness of PackageKit. So I want to have a working and mature
version uploaded to Debian to raise the acceptance.

But it this will happen in the near future.

The packaging for Debian can be found here:

The apt backend of PackageKit is build on top of Python APT. So you you
get all features of APT. If you want to have binary patches this should
be implemented in APT. Not discussing the issues involved here.

Hello, 

At first I have to say that I appreciate your recent work on all the
python packages a lot.

But it seems that you have missed the attachment.

Bug#523998: python-apt: Package class should have a get_version method

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.7.1+nmu1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The Package class should provide a nice way to get a corresponding Version 
instance by specifing the version string.

E.g.: Package.get_version("242-1")

See the attached patch

Sebastian

Bug#532338: python-apt: Cache class should provide a broken attribute

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt

The Cache class should provide an API to determinate the existance of
broken dependencies. Currently you have to access the private _depcache.

Bug#532660: python-apt: DpkgInstallProgress should support more than one package

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.10.3+b1
Severity: wishlist

The run method of DpkgInstallProgress class only works with one package.
Furthermore it sets the debfile and debname attribute which will be used by
the update_status method.

I would like to overwrite the run method in PackgeKit to support more than one
Deb file and different dpkg options. So it would be nice to extract the package
names in update_status from the dpkg status message instead of reusing
the debname attribute.

See attached patch.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Hello,

I would require this package for the gnome-app-install package. So do
you still plan to upload this package anytime?

Bug#542699: MarkUpgrade always marks a package as explicitly installed

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.12.1
Severity: important

The apt.Package.markUpgrade() methods marks a package as not
automatically
installed:

>>> import apt
>>> c = apt.Cache()
>>> p = c["mobile-broadband-provider-info"]
>>> c._depcache.IsAutoInstalled(p._pkg)
1
>>> p.markUpgrade()
>>> c._depcache.IsAutoInstalled(p._pkg)
0

Instead it should keep the current state. A common use case for the
markUpgrade
call is an user on low bandwith who only upgrades in small sub sets.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Bug#542705: python-apt: Forced use of the private depcache to resolve complex situations

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.12.1
Severity: normal

In PackageKit apt backend I use the problem resolver directly e.g. to make sure
that all given packages are installed which are queued for a transaction.

Just calling apt.Packagek.mark_install for each package could unmark the 
installation of a previous package during the resolver call (autoFix=True).
So I have to protect all the to be installed packages in the resolver.

The factory apt_pkg.GetPkgProblemResolver requires the private _depcache of
an apt.Cache. Furthermore I need the IsInstBroken and IsNowBroken method for
a more detailed error reporting.

It would be nice to habe a stable API for this.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Bug#596793: python-apt: Add a lock argument to apt.Cache.update and apt.Cache.commit

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.97.1
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have a lock argument in the apt.cache.Cache.update()
and apt.cache.Cache.commit() methods.

It would allow to pass the fd (int) of an already acquired lock. The
corresponding methods won't try to get a lock on lists/archives if it's
given.

The packagekit backend and aptdaemon try to acquire the locks
before executing the tasks to give the user an idea which application
should be closed before the task can be performed, instead of failing
during the task.

So currently I have to acquire the locks at the start of a
transaction, release it again shortly before call e.g. Cache.update()
and re-aquire them again afterwards until the transaction is done.

Sorry to say. But AFAIK the debconf solution is currently far from being
resolved:

The approach of Dantti was not accepted by debconf upstream and the
preferred one of upstream hasn't been yet written.

Bug#597421: python-apt: apt.cache.Cache.required_space returns NaN in the case of a removal

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.97.1
Severity: normal

If a package is marked for removal the required_space property of the
apt.cache.Cache returns Not a Number. It should be a negative value to
represent disk space which will be freed. Why is a float used instead of
a long?

>>> c = apt.Cache()
>>> p = c["xterm"]
>>> p.mark_delete()
>>> c.required_space
nan

Bug#594813: apt: ListUpdate does return True in the case of network errors

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.0
Severity: normal

The ListUpdate method in cache.cc returns True if a download fails or
there is a transient network error. It only emmits a warning.

This makes it impossible to handle download errors in higher libraries
(python-apt) or finally aptdaemon, see
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/626144

Bug#581831: python-apt: apt.Package.get_changelog only checks the first source record

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.94.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

If there is an upgradable package which is availabe in two repositories
e.g. lenny and lenny/updates, the changelog from the older
source version would be downloaded. This leads to an empty changelog.

The apt.package.Package.get_changelog method tries to get the correct
section from the source record, but it only checks the first source
record of a binary package name and doesn't check if it is older than the
binary version.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Bug#575070: Exclusive read-write lock in file db driver breaks running debconf as non-root

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.29
Severity: normal

Hello,

In aptdaemon we use debconf-communicate running in the user session and
the passthrough backend for the actual installation to show the debconf
questions to the user.

With the new required read write lock on the file backends (which are
the default) debconf-communicate refuses to run as non-root and so
breaks debconf handling in aptdaemon.

Furthermore it is no longer possible to test config scripts as non-root
with using DEBCONF_DEB_REPLACE which I did before.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Great! It is really amazing how much you can get out of a small code
optimization. It would be also nice to have a get_upgradables method or an
upgradables property for the apt.Cache. Getting the list of 
upgradbale packages is my second most important iteration on the package
cache after the changes. I would like to make use of the internal API
here too.

Bug#603662: software-center does not install anything

Could you please run the aptdaemon in a terminal before starting

Bug#596793: python-apt: Add a lock argument to apt.Cache.update and apt.Cache.commit

[Sebastian Heinlein]

You have to keep in that in most cases you have to acquire more than
one lock. E.g. for commit, you should hold the archive and dpkg status
lock. And they have to be raised in a special order to avoid races
with e.g. apt-get.

That is why I decided to always hold all three locks for an
aptdaemon transaction (archive, status, lists) and implement an
high level lock.

See 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aptdaemon-developers/aptdaemon/main/annotate/head:/aptdaemon/lock.py

The idea with the context manager is very nice.

I am nowadays working nearly exclusively on aptdaemon and

have the time to push PackageKit. Feel free to adopt.

If you need some assistance on the integration, feel free to contact
me.

On the backend side I would recommend to stay with the Python based
apt backend by default. Kubuntu recently switched to aptcc but this is
also a little bit problematic. (I am biased here since I am the author
of the apt backend :)

To add the debconf support to the apt backend are only a few lines of
code.

Thanks for pushing aptdaemon into Debian, Julian.

Sorry, but you did not attach the patch.

Could you please upload to experimental at first? I plan to work and
so change the D-Bus API and the currently ugly Python client API in
Decemeber. So I would like to avoid an early adoption of the API.

Furthermore I will release sessioninstaller in the next week. It is an
implementation of the PackageKit session D-Bus API which allows third
party applications to install easily additional packages, mime type 
handlers or GStreamer extensions. Sessioninstaller currently makes use
of aptdaemon for the installation, but a Synaptic backend is just a
few lines away.

Cheers,

A better description would be:

Sessioninstaller allows applications to easily install additional
software (e.g. extensions or GSreamer codecs) by calling a simple
distribution neutral D-Bus interface.

The confirmation, error reporting and progress notification of the
installation is handled by sessioninstaller. Currently it comes only
with a GTK based user interface.

The D-Bus interface is developed under the PackageKit umbrella and is
available on the session bus. The reference implementation can be
found in gnome-packagekit. It was also adpoted by KPackageKit.

In contrast to gnome-packagekit and KPackageKit it doesn't use the
PackageKit daemon for querying and installation, but instead makes
use of APT and aptdaemon directly (alternatively synaptic can be
used).

Cheers,

Sebastian
