[Ubuntu LaunchPad bug #1335391](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1335391)
(Quoting the LaunchPad bug below, but I have experienced this issue in an identical manner.)

I have configured etckeeper to use git. It works fine if I use apt-get or synaptic packet manager.

But when the update-manger install new packet versions it ends with an "installation failed" message. When I check the status of the git repository in the etc directory, some changes are not commited, e.g.:

    On branch master
    Changes to be committed:
      (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
