Hello, given the commit message "daily autocommit" there seem to be only one possible source for this.
/etc/etckeeper/daily via etckeeper.timer But this is disabled here. See attached txt file for easier reading, w/o line wrapping. Prior to any apt run, locally here 'anacron -s -n -d' is run. So files in '/etc/cron.daily/*' are made sure to not be triggered by usual anacron during any apt run. Also time of this specific commit has been 2h after the configured daily cron in /etc/crontab, so usual cron can not be the cause. I wonder what could have triggered etckeeper.timer aka /etc/etckeeper/daily when it is disabled up-front? kind regards, Thilo
