// ReadConfigFile - Read a configuration file /*{{{*/
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------
/* The configuration format is very much like the named.conf format
used in bind8, in fact this routine can parse most named.conf files.
Sectional config files are like bind's named.conf where there are
sections like 'zone "foo.org" { .. };' This causes each section to be
added in with a tag like "zone::foo.org" instead of being split
tag/value. */
Yet, doing the following:
doogie@debian-devel1:~/rlx/netinst$ apt-config -c /etc/bind/named.conf dump
...
options "";
options::directory "/var/cache/bind";
options::forwarders "";
options::forwarders:: "192.168.3.100";
options::forwarders:: "10.1.1.31";
logging "";
logging::category "cname";
logging::category:: "null";
logging::category:: "null";
zone "255.in-addr.arpa";
zone::type "master";
zone::file "/etc/bind/db.255";
--
According to the docs, that last block should look like this:
--
zone::255.in-addr.arpa "";
zone::255.in-addr.arpa::type "master";
zone::255.in-addr.arpa::file "/etc/bind/db.255";
--
And there should be several zone entries as well, instead of overwriting
them all.
It also affects the logging block, which looks like this in named.conf:
--
logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
category cname { null; };
};
--
It should have those looking like the following:
--
logging::category::lame-servers "";
logging::category::lame-servers:: "null";
logging::category::cname "";
logging::category::cname:: "null";
--

apt.conf is not a sectional config file. Thus you cannot use apt-config to
parse sectional config files, thus your whole 'proof' is totally bogus.
