 And you repeat one potential error again... Ignoring the use of grep
(which is a utility that looks /inside/ files for strings)

etc/apt/apt.conf.d

 as you show is NOT the same as

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d


pi-star@pi-star-3b(ro):~$ ls etc/apt/apt.conf.d
ls: cannot access etc/apt/apt.conf.d: No such file or directory

pi-star@pi-star-3b(ro):~$ ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
