<br>
You are encountering the following problem:
<a class="m_6155061846237799164moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/11336" target="_blank">https://www.rudder-project.<wbr>org/redmine/issues/11336</a><br>
<br>
This problem should have been corrected if your Rudder server is
in version 4.1.7 and the corresponding technique library was
updated. <br>
<br>
Please note that you have to do the technique upgrade as
documented here:

Hope it helps, <br><div><div class="h5">

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I thought I'd try and use Rudder to get the agents to
upgrade themselves. Unfortunately the version of
aptPackageManagerSettings.cf in Rudder 4.5.1 and 4.7.1 seems
not to know about 16.04/Xenial (which is most of my
endpoints). So when I use the "Package sources and settings
(APT)" directive with "Automatically detect the distribution"
I get this:</div>

<div>Can anyone suggest a better way to roll out agent
updates? Or is there a better way of
keeping <wbr>aptPackageManagerSettings.cf updated?</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
