Hi, my workaround was to no longer use etckeeper. So I currently cannot answer your other questions.
As you said the bug is quite old and it is possible, that in the mean time the issue was fixed. As you have tested it, I would treat it as solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
