I think it's more likely than you say in cases that a configuration shipped is primarily a set of boolean values and enumerations of a limited set of strings, and the difference in distributions is mostly in choices of those values. The extreme example would be a configuration file that ships just one boolean setting. I think this unattended- upgrades case is closer to that extreme example than it is to openssh's sshd_config. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917677 Title: ubuntu: ucf tracking of valid known md5sums should be limited to only those md5sums that affect a given distro release Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: New Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic: New Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Focal: New Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Groovy: New Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Hirsute: New Bug description: Currently the project tracks all valid md5sums of permutations of 50unattended-upgrades.conf in a single md5sum file that contains every md5sum of every historic version of all unique distros: 50unattended-upgrades.Debian 50unattended-upgrades.Devuan 50unattended-upgrades.Raspbian 50unattended-upgrades.Ubuntu Ultimately ucf for a given packaging release should only track the applicable md5sums which are expected to be seen on that particular distribution and release.
