Description Janek Walkenhorst

2014-01-10 14:54:10 CET

Two UCR processes generated the
 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/18_ucs-online-errata.list
at the same time (one due to setting version/erratalevel, the other setting repository/online/server) which corrupted the resulting file.

Observed under UCS 3.0; it should be checked whether UCS 3.2 is also affected.
Possible solutions would be writing a temporary file and then move it into place or doing per file locking.

Should be fixed with Bug #33842
