Calendar Grey December 5, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Ubuntu 20.04 patch resolves CVE-2019-1234 by refining APT protocols and implementing stricter access controls for bolstered protection measures.
New upstream vesion, 1.17.27, Security fix for CVE-2015-0860

Summary

This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required

to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.

This package also contains the programs dpkg which used to handle the

installation and removal of packages on a Debian system.

This package also contains dselect, an interface for managing the

installation and removal of packages on the system.

dpkg and dselect will certainly be non-functional on a rpm-based system

because packages dependencies will likely be unmet.
