Public bug reported:
I run etckeeper on several different distros (CentOS, Debian, Fedora) &
it works just fine. However when installing via Synaptic on Ubuntu 12.04
Precise Pangolin i686 & after the installation I run the initial commit
which is OK, it fails to work either via Software Update, Synaptic or
apt.
I've triple checked all the config files, I've switched from bzr to git,
I've purged & re-installed & I've also installed it on three different
physical systems (one of which was a clean install i686 from a Live CD)
but after the initial commit, nothing happens.
The cron job doesn't run & after a Software Update, both `status` &
`log` are telling me the repo's clean when it patently isn't.
>From what I've seen on Google searches pertaining to this problem, it
seems I'm the only one who's seeing this which is why I went to lengths
that I have to make sure it wasn't a problem my end.
I've asked on the Ubuntu User mailing list & have received no responses
so I've filed this now as a bug.
