Bug#94286: apt: should ignore .dpkg-new and the like in apt.conf.d
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
If a packages fails to install, and apt stops while a package has left a
.dpkg-new file in apt.conf.d, both files (old and new) are taken into
account in the next run. This may not be critical for apt-listchanges, but
who knows what can be placed there at some time.
Also, I suspect .dpkg-old and .dpkg-dist may lurk there and cause the same
problem.
