Bug#54646: base-config: destroys existing sources.list
Package: base-config
Version: 0.02
Severity: grave
3) Dangerous bug. Makes the package in question unusable by anyone or
mostly so, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing
access to the accounts of users who use the package.
Data loss.
/etc/apt/sources.list is overwritten apparently, and those of us with
a significant one will have trouble recreating.
# wc sources.list
