Bug#1106484: systemd: syntax of /usr/lib/environment.d/99-environment.conf is invalid

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: systemd
Version: 257.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

systemd-environment-d-generator generate errors in the Journal.

That is annoying.

Moreover the initial goal is probably not achieved
or achieved by other means anyway.

I can not remmember while I needed this setting in 2018.

Maybe it can now be dropped altogether in both places.

Greetings

Alexandre
