Empty files left in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

[sicherist]

I ran sudo ./aptsources-cleanup.pyz
and it removed 12 files that didn't contain any active repo entries.
But there are several files left in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that are completely empty. Shouldn't these have been also removed?

I think libapt skips empty files. Thus aptsources-cleanup doesn’t see them.

I could implement deletion of empty files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but that seems far more complicated than a simple shell command like:

find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -empty -print -delete

Therefore I’ll close this issue report.
