-- Benjamin Drung <bdrung@ubuntu.com> Fri, 12 Apr 2024 14:40:53 +0200

* Fix stdin/stdout handling regression in Debconf::DbDriver::Pipe (thanks,
Dan Bungert; closes: #1063817, LP: #2052982).

debconf (1.5.85) unstable; urgency=medium
* Revert 'Use ":encoding(UTF-8)" in Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough rather
than ":utf8"'; this requires PerlIO, which is not available when only
perl-base is installed.

debconf (1.5.84) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Colin Watson ]
* perlcritic fixes:
- Move "use strict" above all code.
- Avoid declaring variables in conditional statements.
- Don't use bareword file/directory handles.
- Make all loop iterators lexical.
- Don't modify $_ in list functions.
- Use bare return rather than "return undef".
- Avoid two-argument open.
- Use a temporary variable rather than "return sort ...".
- Use ":encoding(UTF-8)" in Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough rather than
":utf8", since the latter does not validate the input data.
- Avoid string eval in a couple of places.
- Enable warnings lexically rather than using "perl -w".
- Use the block form of grep and map.
- Avoid combining low- and high-precedence boolean operators.
- Avoid comma-separated statements.
- Avoid indirect object call syntax for "new".
* Reformat debconf.py using pyupgrade, black, and isort.
* Adjust shell code to pass shellcheck.
* Fix parsing error that resulted in some nonsense in hierarchy.txt.
* dpkg-preconfigure: Print "Extracting templates from packages" to stdout,
not stderr (closes: #797071). Also improves error messages if
apt-extracttemplates fails (closes: #754123).
* debconf-apt-progress: Handle the case of failing to exec the requested
command (closes: #682508).
* debconf.py: Don't pass sys.executable as an argument to the frontend
(closes: #304572). This may break compatibility if the importing
program isn't an executable with a #!, but that seems unlikely for
programs shipped in Debian.
[ Gioele Barabucci ]
* Remove previous_module from confmodules again (cf. 1.4.27/1.4.28;
closes: #1040127).
