apt.conf.d does not parse valid files

[Michael Wodniok]

Ubuntu version: 14.04.4 (trusty)
augeas-lenses version: 1.2.0-0ubuntu1.1

The file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove causes a parsing error in augtool:

augtool> ls /augeas/files/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove
path = /files/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove
mtime = 1397135092
lens/ = @AptConf
error/ = parse_failed

The bug causing this behaviour was already fixed in upstream at 2015-07-13:

https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/commit/a6873c40874557e481d056e70ba566c0220adfec

Please backport this fix to the current supported lts distributions. It seems like xenial will get this fix.

Also affects Ubuntu Xenial (16.04).
augeas-lenses version 1.4.0-0ubuntu1

Same error.

[Michael Wodniok (wodniok)]

This patch is tested with version augeas-lenses 1.4.0-0ubuntu1. Since there are no other in-code dependencies this patch should also work for 1.2.0-0ubuntu1.1 (=trusty version).
