          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 67788
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: systemd-sysctl: earlier files 'override' values in
                    higher files
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: mgorny at gentoo.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

systemd-sysctl ignores duplicate assignments currently. For example, on my
initial solution this triggered:

$ /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl 
Duplicate assignment of kernel/sysrq in file '/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysrq.conf',
ignoring.

But in effect, this makes the 'override' order of sysctl.d files completely
reverse. That is, if you set the same key in '10-foo.conf' and '50-foo.conf',
the value from '10-foo.conf' would be applied rather than '50-foo.conf' as
you'd expect.
