Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 2.8
After upgrading to bookworm/testing, my unattended-upgrade cron job
started giving output like this:
tar: .remove-on-upgrade /etc/xdg/okular.categories: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
I downgraded okular and ran `unattended-upgrade --debug` to get the
context for those messages (ignore the `locale-en_US` bit, it's just a
wrapper to make the log messages more searchable):
$ sudo apt install
/var/cache/apt/archives/okular_4%3a21.08.0-1_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/libokular5core9_4%3a21.08.0-1_amd64.deb
...
$ locale-en_US sudo unattended-upgrade --debug
