[Bug 824856] Re: unattended-upgrade crashed with ValueError in match_whitelist_string(): need more than 1 value to unpack

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.75

---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.75) unstable; urgency=low


  * add tests for compat mode and spaces in a origin
  * escape "," in the Allowed-Origins compat mode (LP: #824856)
  * merged lp:~mvo/unattended-upgrades/unshadow-versions, this will
    ensure that higher versions in a non-origin branch do not "shadow"
    the versions from a desired origin (LP: #891747)

  I expect unattended-upgrades not to crash when using alternative
  options for the origin / archive specifications. What happened instead
  is that it crashed when encountering these options.

  See this discussion for why it SHOULD work, and used to , but now does not. Regression?
