Package: update-notifier-common
Version: 0.99.3debian4
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze sid


Hi,

everytime I log in, I see this:

$ sh   /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available 
stat: cannot stat `/etc/apt//sources.list': No such file or directory
/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available: line 43: [: -gt: unary 
operator expected
...


The reason is that I have modularized sources.list into individual
snippets in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, and no /etc/sources.list anymore.
This is to ease adapting to changing network conditions - I can now copy
appropriate snippets to and fro, instead of having to mangle the
sources.list file.

The test in line 43 is too simplistic to catch this case, but I'm
uncertain about what the program should really do. Maybe this:


NEED_UPDATE_CHECK=no

for i in /$EtcDir/$SourceList /$EtcDir/${SourceList}.d/*; do
        test -f $i && NEED_UPDATE_CHECK=yes
done


Just a shot into the dark.



Kind regards,
--Toni++
