• Next upload 2022-12-01 (dpkg 1.21.10)

    From Guillem Jover@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 29 13:00:01 2022
    Hi!

    I'm almost done with the changes I had planned for 1.21.10, I'm just
    missing some fixes for --root/--admindir/--instdir handling which I
    need to polish and will push later today.

    I'm targeting the upload for early Thursday probably.

    I'll try then to do subsequent quick releases incorporating other
    changes and fixes, including the new dependencies that were proposed
    some time ago (but one per release at most to catch potential issues).

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Ok, so there's at least two regressions (one on autopkgtest and
    another on cross-compilers which seems to be affecting apt too), so
    I'll wait for late tomorrow in case there's anything else, and then
    upload at least with the fixes currently in git.

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Hi,

    I got a build failure in cruft-ng against the new libdpkg-dev.

    It's easy to solve: a dependency on libmd-dev needs to be added.

    The tricky part: where ? In llibdpkg-dev itself or the packages
    depending on it ?

    I've seen this commit, I try to read between the lines but can't... https://git.dpkg.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=f76e5157185213d1f0a9431e5af9bda27d29cedc

    Greetings

    Thanks! I've pushed a fix now, will be included in dpkg 1.21.12, which
    I'm planning to upload in a couple of days at most:
