dpkg: Fix file queue tail assignment in file queue pop
When we are popping a file from the files queue, we might end up messing
it up. To check for the side-effects on the file-system one should look
for files with .dpkg-new extension for packages that have been fully
configured and where those files are not listed as owned by them. These
packages will need to be reinstalled.
Closes: #823288

dpkg (1.18.6) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+ * Fix file queue tail assignment on file queue pop during unpack. This
+ could mess up the file queue in some circumstances and leave behind
+ files in the filesystem as «pathname».dpkg-new after configuration
+ and without traces of the files in the dpkg database. Closes: #823288
* Packaging:
- Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.8 (no changes needed).
