Description Clay Weber 2026-02-27 04:32:41 UTC 
SUMMARY
There is a redundant directory located at /etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences.d/ that duplicates the standard /etc/apt/preferences.d/

Also noted at https://discuss.kde.org/t/duplicate-preferences-d-same-file-s-two-times-why/44791/3

This directory contains duplicates of neon's preferences files:
> 50-neon-ubuntu-release-upgrader
> 99-neon-base-files
> 99-noble-overrides
> org-kde-neon-packages-mozilla-org-pin

99-noble-overrides is not a symlink here, though, if that matters.

This does not appear to be causing any problems as far as I can tell.
