[Bug 1818996] Re: auth.conf.d directory missing

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.0.1ubuntu2.22 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  apt in disco and the current set of SRUs introduce support for .conf snippets in auth.conf.d, but accidentally did not introduce the auth.conf.d directory, making it hard to discover if support for it exists, and requiring users to create the dir if it is missing - that's bad UX.

  [Test case]
  Install apt, make sure /etc/apt/auth.conf.d exists

  [Regression potential]
  It's just a directory, what could possibly go wrong?
