dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades results in update-rc.d warning
that start and stop actions are no longer supported
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I'm trying to script a change to the automatic updating of servers,
and tried the following:
echo "debconf unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates boolean false" |
debconf-set-selections -
dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive unattended-upgrades
The result, however, is a warning message:
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported;
falling back to defaults
At this point, the change I tried to make seems to be lost. To show
this in an expanded sequence:
root@brennan:/home/ubuntu# debconf-show unattended-upgrades
* unattended-upgrades/origins_pattern:
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";
* unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: true

* unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: true
* unattended-upgrades/origins_pattern:
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";
If I omit the "-fnoninteractive" option to dpkg-reconfigure, I still
get the warning message, but the change IS accepted and takes effect.
Of course, this isn't useful in a script that should be run non-
interactively. I've tried the equivalent commands to reconfigure other
packages, and they work without error message, so I believe the
problem is with unattended-upgrades, not with debconf/dpkg-
reconfigure.
This problem affects Ubuntu 16.04.1 (and probably 16.04 GA, but I've
not tested it). It works as expected with Ubuntu 14.04. (That version,
of course, defeaults to "false" for the unattended-
upgrades/enable_auto_updates value. I've tested both with the default
"false" value and after changing it to "true," with successful runs
both times.)

More investigation is needed. The path *does* fix the problem, but in a
way that feels like it is a side effect.
Sorry, I should have commented on this bug before.

The attachment "debdiff for xenial" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-
sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can
review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a
patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the
"patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe
the team.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1606600] Re: dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades results in update-rc.d warning that start and stop actions are no longer supported
I *think* the root of the issue is that the assumption in debian/rules
# we do not want to run the init script in the postinst/prerm, its
# really only useful on shutdown, see Debian bug #645919
dh_installinit $@ --no-start -- stop 10 0 6 .
is wrong.
It is not only useful on shutdown but also when dpkg-reconfigure is
invoked.
As a strawman fix, I've uploaded a fixed (xenial) package to
https://launchpad.net/~tribaal/+archive/ubuntu/unattended-upgrades
It seems to fix the issue in my limited testing: running "dpkg-
reconfigure -fnoninteractive unattended-upgrades" does apply changes
passed by debconf-set-selections.
I'll attach a debdiff to this bug as well, and open a pull request
upsteam.

At this point, the change I tried to make seems to be lost. To show
this in an expanded sequence:
root@brennan:/home/ubuntu# debconf-show unattended-upgrades
* unattended-upgrades/origins_pattern:
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";

If I omit the "-fnoninteractive" option to dpkg-reconfigure, I still
get the warning message, but the change IS accepted and takes effect.
Of course, this isn't useful in a script that should be run non-
interactively. I've tried the equivalent commands to reconfigure other
packages, and they work without error message, so I believe the
problem is with unattended-upgrades, not with debconf/dpkg-
reconfigure.
This problem affects Ubuntu 16.04.1 (and probably 16.04 GA, but I've
not tested it). It works as expected with Ubuntu 14.04. (That version,
of course, defeaults to "false" for the unattended-
upgrades/enable_auto_updates value. I've tested both with the default
"false" value and after changing it to "true," with successful runs
both times.)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1606600] Re: dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades results in update-rc.d warning that start and stop actions are no longer supported
Matthew, note that the change I was trying to make did not take effect.
This might be independent of the warning message, but it's the real
problem being reported. As noted, omitting "-fnoninteractive" enables it
to work, but as I'm trying to do this in a script, that omission is not
a reasonable option.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1606600] Re: dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades results in update-rc.d warning that start and stop actions are no longer supported
The warning message is because of the following line in debian/rules.
dh_installinit $@ --no-start -- stop 10 0 6 .
It is just warning that the stop action is now ignored. It shouldn't
have any impact. See this announcement.
