[Bug 1335391] Re: etckeeper with git breaks update-manager
@Mikko Rantalainen: This bug has nothing to do with whether user.name and user.email have been set for root or not, but I like your idea, so please file a different bug report for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1335391] Re: etckeeper with git breaks update-manager
Am I then only one thinking that etckeeper should have post-install script to request git user.name and user.email fields to be filled for root if those are missing? I know how to do that manually but I guess random etckeeper user may not know that those are needed and it would be much better user experience to ask for those during etckeeper install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1335391] Re: etckeeper with git breaks update-manager
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 Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in 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-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I get the same error message as tilo kremer. Note that this only occurs in update-manager; running "apt-get update" from the command line works fine. Also, $HOME and the git configs are set both for normal user and root.
