** Description changed: [Impact] * I would like to propose a one-off full backport of unattended-upgrades 1.2ubuntu1 to Bionic, Artful, Xenial and possibly Trusty releases because selectively backporting fixes for crashes and for issues that made u-u unreliable would be more risky thanks to the huge number of fixes and the inter-dependencies between them. [Test Case] * Since this backport involves fixing several bugs and this bug itself covers the full backport I suggest that this bug should be considered verified when the following list of bugs are verified: - TODO add most important bugs + LP: #1615381 : apt-get autoremove may remove current kernel and the following tests are passing: - TODO add tests not covered by bugs above All LP bugs fixed by the backport, comments are welcome: - + LP: #1230246 + + LP: #1230246 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1260041 SRU template ok + LP: #1269177 already fixed in 0.90ubuntu0.9 - + LP: #1357093 + + LP: #1357093 really needs SRU template + LP: #1396787 SRU template ok - + LP: #1446552 - + LP: #1455097 - + LP: #1458204 + + LP: #1446552 really needs SRU template + + LP: #1455097 really needs SRU template + + LP: #1458204 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1544942 already fixed in 0.90ubuntu0.8 - + LP: #1577215 + + LP: #1577215 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1602536 SRU template ok - + LP: #1615381 + + LP: #1615381 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1624644 SRU template ok - + LP: #1632361 + + LP: #1632361 really needs SRU template + LP: #1649709 not affecting xenial - + LP: #1654070 + + LP: #1654070 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1654600 SRU template ok + LP: #1675079 SRU template ok - + LP: #1680599 + + LP: #1680599 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1686470 SRU template ok + LP: #1687129 already fixed in 0.90ubuntu0.6 - + LP: #1690980 + + LP: #1690980 really needs SRU template + LP: #1698159 SRU template ok + LP: #1702793 this bug + LP: #1714019 just a merge request + LP: #1718419 just a merge request + LP: #1719630 SRU template ok + LP: #1722426 just a merge request + LP: #1737441 fix not tracked for u-u in xenial, just for python-apt + LP: #1737442 SRU template ok + LP: #1737635 SRU template ok + LP: #1737637 SRU template ok + LP: #1737717 SRU template ok + LP: #1741579 SRU template ok + LP: #1764797 just a merge request + LP: #1773033 SRU template ok + LP: #1775292 SRU template ok + LP: #1775307 SRU template ok + LP: #1778219 SRU template ok + LP: #1778800 SRU template ok + LP: #1779157 SRU template ok + LP: #1781176 SRU template ok + LP: #1781183 SRU template ok + LP: #1781446 SRU template ok + LP: #1781586 SRU template ok + LP: #1785093 SRU template ok + LP: #1789637 SRU template ok + LP: #1803749 SRU template ok [Regression Potential] - * Due to this update covering the full backport unattended-upgrades can regress in any imaginable way including failing to install, upgrade, run, or removing essential packages from the system.
