There are comments in debian/apt.conf.autoremove (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove) that start with '#' which breaks other tools like augeas that follow strictly the definition of comments in apt.conf's man page and rely on it to function properly. 1) Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 2) apt: Installed: 1.0.1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.0.1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.0.1ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status The file can be patched by running: $ sed -i "s/#/\/\//" apt.conf.autoremove To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1309658/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
