Hi, I have been wondering why my sid laptop is sometimes spinning the fan and I've seen apt running in the background. I though that was only an update of the package index and not actual upgrades. Then I've lately had several odd system lockups on Gnome desktop running on wayland. And crashes of various applications. Then today I saw that unattended-updates were running dpkg automatically, which I have not enabled since this is sid/unstable. I traced this back to apt daily systemd timers.
Why are these updates enabled by default? To me it does not make sense on sid/unstable to enable automatic updates by default. Even on stable I would expect that just installing some packages does not automatically enable installing updates which may break things on a running system which needs reboots and restart anyway to make the updates effective. And yes, I've been on expensive mobile broadband when traveling lately and am a bit afraid of getting expensive bills in a few weeks... -Mikko
