[Regression potential] The fix replaces -eq 0 checks with = 0 checks which might have different behavior in case -eq also accepts some values as equal to 0 that are not literally 0 and that now no longer match. But then you'd have to do stuff like set the interval to "+0", and it seems unrealistic people do that. [Original bug report] In the second half of the function there is # Calculate the interval in seconds depending on the unit specified if [ "${interval%s}" != "$interval" ] ; then interval="${interval%s}" elif [ "${interval%m}" != "$interval" ] ; then interval="${interval%m}" interval=$((interval*60)) elif [ "${interval%h}" != "$interval" ] ; then interval="${interval%h}" interval=$((interval*60*60)) else interval="${interval%d}" interval=$((interval*60*60*24)) fi so, a variable might hold something like "1d", "100m", etc. Yet in the first there is a condition if [ "$interval" -eq 0 ]; then debug_echo "check_stamp: interval=0" # treat as no time has passed return 1 fi which treats the value as a number and leads to /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily: 87: [: Illegal number: 20h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1840995/+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
