Hi Thanks for your reply and offer of help. Before I provide you the answers, please note that I had removed/deleted the package called 50unattended-upgrades in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ before my original post in this mailing list. Secondly, according to a reply that I received prior to your response, I issued the command sudo systemctl diaable unattended-upgrades Please find below the results of what you had asked me to do: ls -al /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ total 56 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 23 04:45 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Apr 23 04:45 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 Sep 8 2020 00aptitude -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 Sep 8 2020 00CDMountPoint -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40 Sep 8 2020 00trustcdrom -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1018 May 12 2020 01autoremove -r--r--r-- 1 root root 3636 Apr 17 15:17 01autoremove-kernels -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89 Apr 10 07:12 10periodic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 202 Mar 17 2019 20listchanges -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1040 Mar 2 2019 20packagekit -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2592 Jan 26 2019 50appstream -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 435 Jan 26 2019 60icons -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Feb 26 2019 70debconf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 Apr 17 15:17 99synaptic dpkg -l | grep -i unattended-upgrades ii unattended-upgrades 1.11.2 all automatic installation of security upgrades cat /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer [Unit] Description=Daily apt download activities [Timer] OnCalendar=*-*-* 6,18:00 RandomizedDelaySec=12h Persistent=true [Install] WantedBy=timers.target cat /etc/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer.d/override.conf cat: /etc/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer.d/override.conf: No such file or directory
