** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
  
  Currently there is a bug in the AIDE package on Ubuntu where it would
  fail to run on certain sources and return error code 17.
+ 
+ The easiest way to see this issue is to remove a newline character '\n'
+ between software sources.
+ 
+ If you are missing a newline, you would see an error like:
+ 
+ ******************************************************************************
+ *          AIDE returned with exit code 17. Invalid configuration!           *
+ ******************************************************************************
+ 
+ AIDE error output (1 lines):
+   ERROR: /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt (stdout):263:65: error in rule 
'/var/lib/apt/lists/repo\.protonvpn\.com_debian_dists_stable_https://esm.ubuntu.com/cis/ubuntu_binary-(amd64|all)_Packages(\.diff_Index)?$':
 invalid double slash (line: 
'/var/lib/apt/lists/repo\\.protonvpn\\.com_debian_dists_stable_https://esm.ubuntu.com/cis/ubuntu_binary-@@{APT_ARCH}_Packages(\\.diff_Index)?$
 f VarFile')
+ End of AIDE error output
+ AIDE detected no changes.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ 1- Install the aide package: % sudo apt install aide -y
+ 2- % wget 
https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-all/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.6_all.deb
+ % sudo dpkg -i ./protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.6_all.deb && sudo apt update
+ 3- run aide and the following error will appear: % aideinit -f -y
+ ******************************************************************************
+ *          AIDE returned with exit code 17. Invalid configuration!           *
+ ******************************************************************************
+ 
+ A fixed package should initialise the AIDE database correctly.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ Other files might start returning the same error and cause aide to crash
+ with the same error code 17, although this risk is minimal since this
+ change has been in Debian for over 2 years now with no issues
+ 
+ [Other Info]
  
  The fix has already been merged into Debian and this is a simple back-
  port of that patch.
