unattended-upgrades
« on: 2020/04/06, 10:19:07 »
I have just realised that my system did an unattended-upgrade on 3rd April 2020 and again today 6th April .


I have purged unattended-upgrades package.


My system has previously been doing apt full-upgrade for a number of years.


Anyone have any ideas why and where unattended-upgrades has come from all of a sudden ?
regards

Haven't seen that recently, but remember several weeks or months ago some discussion about unattended-upgrades. Had something to do then if apt was configured to install recommends.
Code: [Select]
#  LANG=C aptitude why unattended-upgrades
p   plasma-workspace            Depends    kwin-common (>= 4:5.14)                     
p   kwin-common                 Recommends plasma-desktop (>= 4:5.14)                   
p   plasma-desktop              Recommends plasma-discover (>= 5.14)                   
p   plasma-discover             Recommends software-properties-kde                     
p   software-properties-kde     Depends    python3-software-properties (= 0.96.20.2-2.1)
p   python3-software-properties Recommends unattended-upgrades

@der_bud
thanks

I did see this topic before my initial post, 
https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=7135.msg57769#msg57769

This install is from siduction 18.3.0 Patience

what I cannot understand is why suddenly on 3rd April it did an unattended upgrade for the first time, a full upgrade as normal on 4th and 5th, and back to an unattended upgrade on the 6th.

You can always try to look up apt history:
Code: [Select]
cat /var/log/apt/history.log

thanks
that is where I found out the information that I have already shared when I couldn't believe the terminal output saying my system was up to date when I hadn't used the command apt full-upgrade
