Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 2.12 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Considering that apt, as of a few weeks before the trixie release, has complained *LOUDLY* about the sources.list format (this seems to have quietened for the actual release), people are migrating to the deb822-sources format. However, the command “unattended-upgrade --download-only”, as run by /usr/lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.service, creates a sources.list file if deleted (i.e. the transition has finished). It should not do that. (I’ve not traced what precisely within it creates it, only traced this far with “sh -x”, as u-u is Python3 and thus harder to trace.) It also should not do that because this is basically overriding the local admin’s choice (recreating a conffile the admin deleted), and it’s annoying in ansible output when the latter is deleting the same file over and over again and people wonder what’s changed… Please fix this and bring the fix into a point release of trixie.
