Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 22.04.4 running apt 2.4.11 (amd64), I cannot set APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists. No matter which value I enter, it is always interpreted as '1'. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic 2. Enter APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "2" (or any other number, or "3h" or "always") 3. Save and exit 4. Run sudo apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists 5. The console prints UpdateInterval='1' Changing other config options, like APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradable- Packages, works. Changing the order of the lines in 10periodic does not affect the result. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2055711 Title: Cannot set APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2055711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
