Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.82.8 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, I would like to have: - the output of apt-listchanges for the upgraded packages in my unattended-upgrades mails - the output of apt-listchanges for all other packages in an apt-listchanges mail This permit to know why a package was automatically upgraded directly in unattended-upgrades mail. I provide a patch to override “APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND” only when apt-listchanges email address is configured and no sendmail is found, there is no need to force it to none otherwise. Regards.
