files missing from po/POTFILES.in

While working on the German dpkg translation, I noticed that there are at least two files with translatable strings that are not listed in po/POTFILES.in, namely lib/subproc.c and src/pkg-show.c. As a consequence, strings in these files are marked as obsolete in po/*.po and are not translated in p

A few fixes for program messages

Hi, while working on the German dpkg translation I noticed a typo in src/filesdb.c and three examples of clumsy/slightly incorrect English in scripts/update-alternatives.pl. Not being a native speaker nor terribly familiar with update-alternatives myself, I may of course be wrong, so I leave this

[PATCH] Remove obsolete priorities from dselect

Hi, dselect 1.15.1 shows wrong package priorities in the package selection screen. This is because dselect/pkgdisplay.cc has not been updated to reflect the removal of the "Recommended" and "Contrib" priorities in commit c8d3938be127e256fd593f234858fb9d474b2353. The following patch should fix th

Tightening the Breaks

Hi, the versions of info-browsers that dpkg 1.15.4 breaks are a bit too loose in some cases, namely when it "Breaks: foobar (<= x.y-z)", where x.y-z is the Lenny version of info-browser foobar. The problem is that there might be an update of foobar in Lenny, say to x.y-zlenny1, which dpkg also ne

Upload of dpkg 1.15.5.7 to sid?

Hi, since the upcoming 1.15.6 release is supposed to be targeted at experimental, I think it would be a good idea to fix the recently spotted path traversal/symlink vulnerabilities of dpkg-source in sid as well. Regards, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian

dpkg 1.15.6 is slow as hell

The decision to immediately fsync() all files written to disk has a detrimental influence on dpkg's performance, especially when unpacking large packages. On my system which has a 2.5" hard disk with an ext4 filesystem, installing emacs23-common (containing 2123 files) with a hot cache takes 76 se
