The problem could be that name and email are not configured in git for the root login. To do it you can do following:
sudo -s git config --global user.email "y...@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" Can you please check if this solves your problem? Another problem exists with the update manager, which still fails when name and email are set for root (#1335391). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267564 Title: etckeeper with git breaks package upgrades that touch /etc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1267564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
