I think the two bugs are only related. In #1267564 every change with apt, synaptic or update-manager leads to an error, as username and email are not set. As changing packages require root privilege the username and email have to be configured for the root login. When this is done altering packages with apt, synaptic works. Until now I had never a problem when using apt or synaptic.
This bug report is about a problem with the update-manager and etckeeper. Although username and email are set in git for the root login, updating packages with the update-manager fails sometimes. Most of the time the updates are applied without any errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335391 Title: etckeeper with git breaks update-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1335391/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
