Bug#285030: does not ignore .dpkg-* files



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.27
Severity: important

During an upgrade, a package may leave a .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-old
file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. APT does not handle these files
specially (according to the source code), and thus can potentially
cause breakage if an old file is present.

Please consider using `run-parts --list` instead of the custom
parsing of the directory listing.
