[Bug 1644244] Re: Extraneous files left in apt config directories

[Julian Andres Klode]

We now ignore .ucf-dist files. The ".bck" is your problem, that's not
supported, and never will be (use .bak, .save, .orig instead).

apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "~$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.disabled$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.bak$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.dpkg-[a-z]+$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.ucf-[a-z]+$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.save$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.orig$");
apt-pkg/init.cc:   Cnf.Set("Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently::", "\\.distUpgrade$");
