[Touch-packages] [Bug 1267059] Re: "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work

2015-12-10 Thread Steve Brorens
Could someone with the permissions to do so *please* "Nominate this for
series" - tagging it as also applying to 12.04? - as per my comment #45.

I would, but appear not to have sufficient permission. (Oddly the
"Nominate this for series" option only shows while I'm logged out).

Hi,

I see from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release-nominators that you are
one of those who can do this "Nomination" of 1267059 9as per my recent
comment). If it's not done shortly I will raise a new bug, but that seems a
bit silly...

Thanks,

 - steve

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1267059] Re: "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work

2015-11-30 Thread Steve Brorens
Just chipping in to say that it's very frustrating to see this marked
with a status of "Fix released".

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what that implies, but:

 - all my servers running 14.04 LTS don't have the fix yet - and apparently 
won't get it unless I take action
 -  if I'm reading the above comments right, I have to add trusty-backports to 
get it (and it may not even *be* in there yet)

Very unsatisfactory and unclear.

I'm advising that for all our servers with this issue that we add the
simple "...running apt-get -y auto remove on a cron job..." fix
suggested above by Travis. That may be a hack, but seem to me to be
safer that enabling backports on production servers.

Title:
  "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a system that runs unattended-upgrades just fine. Now i want to
  automate removal of old kernels and kernel header packages that are
  accumulating otherwise. So i set 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-
  Dependencies "true";'. But it doesn't work.

  
  Details: Lots of stuff pending autoremoval:

  $ apt-get --assume-no autoremove 
  Reading package lists... Done

  Reading state information... Done
  The following packages will be REMOVED

  Abort.

  Note that the majority of these packages have been installed by
  unattended-upgrades from precise-security.

  According to the comments within/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-
  upgrades, this should automate autoremoval:

// Do automatic removal of new unused dependencies after the upgrade
// (equivalent to apt-get autoremove)
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";

  but nothing happens (note the line "Packages that are auto removed: ''
  ":

  $ unattended-upgrades --debug --dry-run
