Hmm, while thinking about it, since GS depends on it, the file in /etc/apt will always be present... So that check could just be omitted, even... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554023

The apt plugin is already somewhat doing this (I'm assumi
