-Subject: [PATCH] priorities: Do read crypto policy files with mtime of zero
-
-In a default Fedora Atomic Host installation,
-`/etc/crypto-policies/backends/gnutls.config` is a symlink to the
-default in `/usr/share/`.  On an OSTree-managed system, files in
-`/usr` have an mtime of zero (to help deduplication).
-
-The simple fix here is to still try to read the first time, even if
-the file has an mtime of zero.
