Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I had the same problem
twice with 1.2 but did not store any backups before the update, so I
could never debug it.
Good to know that it still exists in 1.2.3. I thought I might have fixed
it with the buffered writer fixes, but apparently not (was unlikely
anyway). Seems there's something weird going on, maybe with rred.
I do backups before apt update runs since some time and hope to repro
that eventually.
