Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu the GUI for upgrading packages is update-manager allowing
debconf questions to be answered when needed and Ubuntu also offers
unattended-upgrades for upgrading packages in the background and it
keeps back packages from upgrading when configuration-file changes would
need user interaction during the upgrade. Unattended-upgrades can be
configured to perform upgrades during system shutdown.
Gnome Software in Bionic started offering performing upgrades during
shutdown using PackageKit independently from update-manager and
unattended-upgrades without offering all of the features of either one.
Unless there is a decision to fully switch to Gnome Software I suggest
disabling the "Install pending software updates" on the shutdown screen
to avoid confusing users.
** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "Both update-manager and Gnome Software are offering
upgrades"
