Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 1.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I had installed the pk-update-icon package which also installed and enabled unattended-upgrades. I did not want this in Debian Sid so I disabled and then apt removed unattended-upgrades. I then would only get updated packages in general if I typed "apt update" manually. It turns out that turning off unattended-upgrades turns off all updates in general in an automatic way. I was of course still able to manually check the mirrors via apt update and get my updates in that way. The solution to this in my particular case was that after unattended-upgrades was turned off and subsequently removed, to apt purge unattended-upgrades. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages unattended-upgrades depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.66 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii lsb-release 9.20170808 ii python3 3.6.4-1 ii python3-apt 1.4.0~beta3+b1 ii ucf 3.0038 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages unattended-upgrades recommends: ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-128.1 Versions of packages unattended-upgrades suggests: pn bsd-mailx <none> ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.90.1-1 ii needrestart 3.0-1
