lib/dpkg/tarfn.c: Kludge `tar_header_decode' to handle spurious `errno'.
This fixes a curious failure unpacking `gnome-icon-theme' under qemu.
What appears to be happening here is that `m_strndup' (or, more likely,
`malloc' behind it) is setting `errno' to `ENOMEM' while it tries
various approaches to allocating memory. This then confuses the
`if (errno)' check at the end into thinking that the header decoding has
failed when in fact everything is fine.
POSIX appears to allow `malloc', and derived functions, to set `errno'
spuriously in this manner (even though ISO C rules wouldn't given the
POSIX definition of `malloc'), so this is properly a bug in `dpkg'.
This bug is fixed (by accident, apparently) in buster, but the proper
change is hard to backport, so we have this kludge instead.

* Parse start-stop-daemon usernames and groupnames starting with digits in
-u and -c correctly. Reported by Bodo Eggert <7eggert@online.de>.
* Always use the binary version for the .buildinfo filename in
dpkg-genbuildinfo. Reported by Raphaƫl Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org>.
Closes: #869236
* Fix integer overflow in deb(5) format version parser.
Closes: #868356
* Fix directory traversal with dpkg-deb --raw-extract, by guaranteeing
that the DEBIAN pathname does not exist. Closes: #879982
Reported by Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net>.
* Do not try to recompute hashes for the .dsc file when signing binary-only
builds in dpkg-buildpackage. Reported by Ximin Luo <infinity0@debian.org>.
* Architecture support:
- Add support for riscv64 CPU. Closes: #822914
Thanks to Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>
* Perl modules:
- Do not normalize args past a passthrough stop word in Dpkg::Getopt.
Some commands pass some arguments through to another command, and
those must not be normalized as that might break their invocation.
Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
* Documentation:
- Update buildinfo information in dpkg-buildpackage man page to match
the current implementation.
- Use correct name for archname validator value in dpkg(1) man page.
Reported by Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net.
- Update git URLs for move away from alioth.debian.org.
* Packaging:
- Add versioned Build-Depends on tar, due to the --clamp-mtime option
being used in Dpkg::Source::Archive which is used by dpkg-source,
used by the test suite. Closes: #877330
