For the rest of the people following the thread I can assure you that neither I or has there been anybody "physically" that has touched this pc and omitted this line. I have no idea whether the update from jessie to stretch would replace this file, I assume it is not the same as the packages are different so the conf I suspect it might be different, I don't know. That would put this change within the past 2-3 weeks. Unless I read specific instructions form a reliable source to edit a conf. file I don't go about messing with them, I know that much. So for me the puzzle remains, for Brian the explanation maybe I sleepwalk and change things unconsciously.
