Yes, its an ugly bug and I can understand the eagerness to avoid this by adding hacks to unrelated packages. But the problem is neither unattended-upgrades nor pm-utils, is it? They only make the bug more likely to hit. The real problem is that upgrading some packages (kernel in particular, but possibly anything involved in the boot process), will leave the system in an unbootable state for some time. But you don't need unattended-upgrades or pm-utils to hit this. You might as well be running "dpkg -i linux-image-..." while power is failing. Still, I can understand the hack in unattended-upgrades. Fixing the real bug is non-trivial. Bjørn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
