[Bug 1628891] Re: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d configs ignored

[Björn Michael]

This issue still exists in Ubuntu Bionic.

After several tries to override
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
with a file placed in
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/
this issue come to my resuce let me stop searching for an error on my side.

Maybe this issue could be planned for the next release.

Title:
  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d configs ignored

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In my tests the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d directory does not seem to be taken into account for overriding the configuration at:
  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

  Testing on trusty, I have tried this file:
  [DEFAULT]
  # Override prompting behavior to 'never' check for new release
  Prompt=never

  With these names:
  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/release-upgrades
  &
  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/99never-upgrade

  And:
  rm /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
  root at trelease:~# /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd
  Will always reproduce the output:
  New release '16.04.1 LTS' available.
  Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

  While changing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades does work as
  expected
