Essential rpm package upgrade for Fedora 41 addresses CVE-2025-6298 and enhances system efficiency through significant optimizations.
Update to 1.22.20

Summary

This package provides the low-level infrastructure for handling the

installation and removal of Debian software packages.

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.

Update to 1.22.20. General cleanup. Fix CVE-2025-6297. Major clean up. Enable all tests. Trim changelog. Adjust Requires and BuildRequires. Update configure options.
