APT

apt is the main command-line package manager for Debian and its derivatives. It provides command-line tools for searching and managing as well as querying information about packages as well as low-level access to all features provided by the libapt-pkg and libapt-inst libraries which higher-level package managers can depend upon.

Included tools are:

  • apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them from authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and removal of packages together with their dependencies
  • apt-cache for querying available information about installed as well as available packages
  • apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages
  • apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings
  • apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys
  • apt-extracttemplates to be used by debconf to prompt for configuration questions before installation
  • apt-ftparchive creates Packages and other index files needed to publish an archive of deb packages
  • apt-sortpkgs is a Packages/Sources file normalizer
  • apt is a high-level command-line interface for better interactive usage

The libraries libapt-pkg and libapt-inst are also maintained as part of this project, alongside various additional binaries like the acquire methods used by them. Bindings for Python (python-apt) and Perl (libapt-pkg-perl) are available as separated projects.

Discussion happens mostly on the mailing list (archive) and on IRC. Our bug tracker as well as a general overview can be found at the Debian Tracker page.

Contributing

APT is maintained in git, the official repository being located at https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt, but also available at other locations like GitHub.

The default branch is main, other branches targeted at different derivatives and releases being used as needed. Various topic branches in different stages of completion might be branched of from those, which you are encouraged to do as well.

Coding

APT uses CMake. To start building, you need to run

cmake <path to source directory>

from a build directory. For example, if you want to build in the source tree, run:

cmake .

Then you can use make as you normally would (pass -j <count> to perform <count> jobs in parallel).

You can also use the Ninja generator of CMake, to do that pass -G Ninja to the cmake invocation, and then use ninja instead of make.

The source code uses in most parts a relatively uncommon indent convention, namely 3 spaces with 8 space tab (see doc/style.txt for more on this). Adhering to it avoids unnecessary code-churn destroying history (aka: git blame) and you are therefore encouraged to write patches in this style. Your editor can surely help you with this, for vim the settings would be setlocal shiftwidth=3 noexpandtab tabstop=8 (the latter two are the default configuration and could therefore be omitted).

Translations

While we welcome contributions here, we highly encourage you to contact the Debian Internationalization (i18n) team. Various language teams have formed which can help you create, maintain and improve a translation, while we could only do a basic syntax check of the file format…

Further more, translating APT is split into two independent parts: The program translation, meaning the messages printed by the tools, as well as the manual pages and other documentation shipped with APT.

Bug triage

Software tools like APT, which are used by thousands of users every day, have a steady flow of incoming bug reports. Not all of them are really bugs in APT: It can be packaging bugs, like failing maintainer scripts, that a user reports against apt, because apt was the command they executed that led to this failure; or various wishlist items for new features. Given enough time the occasional duplicate enters the system as well. Our bug tracker is therefore full with open bug reports which are waiting for you! ;)

Testing

Manual execution

When you make changes and want to run them manually, you can just do so. CMake automatically inserts an rpath so the binaries find the correct libraries.

Note that you have to invoke CMake with the right install prefix set (e.g. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr) to have your build find and use the right files by default or alternatively set the locations at run-time via an APT_CONFIG configuration file.

Integration tests

There is an extensive integration test suite available which can be run via:

$ ./test/integration/run-tests

Each test can be run individually as well. The tests are very noisy by default, especially so while running all of them; it might be beneficial to enable quiet (-q) or very quiet (-qq) mode. The tests can also be run in parallel via -j X where X is the number of jobs to run.

While these tests are not executed at package build-time as they require additional dependencies, the repository contains the configuration needed to run them on Travis CI and Shippable as well as via autopkgtests e.g. on Debian Continuous Integration.

A test case here is a shell script embedded in a framework creating an environment in which apt tools can be used naturally without root-rights to test every aspect of its behavior itself as well as in conjunction with dpkg and other tools while working with packages.

Unit tests

These tests are gtest-dev based, executed by ctest, reside in ./test/libapt and can be run with make test. They are executed at package build-time, but not by make. CTest by default does not show the output of tests, even if they failed, so to see more details you can also run them with ctest --verbose.

Debugging

APT does many things, so there is no central debug mode which could be activated. Instead, it uses various configuration options to activate debug output in certain areas. The following describes some common scenarios and generally useful options, but is in no way exhaustive.

Note that, to avoid accidents, you should NEVER use these settings as root. Simulation mode (-s) is usually sufficient to help you run apt as a non-root user.

Using different state files

If a dependency solver bug is reported, but can't easily be reproduced by the triager, it is beneficial to ask the reporter for the /var/lib/dpkg/status file which includes the packages installed on the system and in which version. Such a file can then be used via the option dir::state::status. Beware of different architecture settings! Bug reports usually include this information in the template. Assuming you already have the Packages files for the architecture (see sources.list manpage for the arch= option) you can change to a different architecture with a configuration file like:

APT::Architecture "arch1";
#clear APT::Architectures;
APT:: Architectures { "arch1"; "arch2"; }

If a certain mirror state is needed, see if you can reproduce it with snapshot.debian.org. Your sources.list file (dir::etc::sourcelist) has to correctly mention the repository, but if it does, you can use different downloaded archive state files via dir::state::lists.

In case manually vs. automatically installed matters, you can ask the reporter for the /var/lib/apt/extended_states file and use it with dir::state::extended_states.

Dependency resolution

APT works in its internal resolver in two stages: First all packages are visited and marked for installation, keep back or removal. Option Debug::pkgDepCache::Marker shows this. This also decides which packages are to be installed to satisfy dependencies, which can be seen by Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall. After this is done, we might be in a situation in which two packages want to be installed, but only one of them can be. It is the job of the pkgProblemResolver to decide which of two packages 'wins' and can therefore decide what has to happen. You can see the contenders as well as their fight and the resulting resolution with Debug::pkgProblemResolver.

Downloading files

Various binaries (called 'methods') are tasked with downloading files. The Acquire system talks to them via simple text protocol. Depending on which side you want to see, either Debug::pkgAcquire::Worker or Debug::Acquire::http (or similar) will show the messages.

The integration tests use a simple self-built web server (webserver) which also logs. If you find that the http(s) methods do not behave like they should then try to implement this behavior in webserver for simpler and more controlled testing.

Installation order

Dependencies are solved, packages downloaded: Everything is ready for the installation! The last step in the chain is often forgotten, but still very important: Packages have to be installed in a particular order so that their dependencies are satisfied, but at the same time you don't want to install very important and optional packages at the same time if possible, so that a broken optional package does not block the correct installation of very important packages. Which option to use depends on if you are interested in the topology sorting (Debug::pkgOrderList), the dependency-aware cycle and unconfigured prevention (Debug::pkgPackageManager) or the actual calls to dpkg (Debug::pkgDpkgPm).

Additional documentation

Many more things could and should be said about APT and its usage but are more targeted at developers of related programs or only of special interest.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
