[Test Case] * Since this backport involves fixing several bugs and this bug itself covers the full backport this is an overview of all LP bugs the upload fixes: - most important bugs (feel free to add more) + LP: #1615381 : apt-get autoremove may remove current kernel All LP bugs fixed by the backport, comments are welcome: + LP: #1230246 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1260041 SRU template ok + LP: #1396787 SRU template ok + LP: #1446552 SRU template ok + LP: #1455097 SRU template ok + LP: #1458204 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1577215 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1602536 SRU template ok + LP: #1615381 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1624644 SRU template ok + LP: #1649709 not affecting xenial + LP: #1654070 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1654600 SRU template ok + LP: #1675079 SRU template ok + LP: #1680599 could use SRU template but seems straightforward + LP: #1686470 SRU template ok + LP: #1690980 SRU template ok + 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: #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. Those are unlikely.* There are open bugs about u-u being slower than in the past, thus this may be a likely regression but IMO the pending speed optimizations should not be blocking the backport because the reliability issues are more important to fix and speed optimizations can be cherry-picked later. [Other Info] I asked for an exception for the package in following the SRU process: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2018-May/004479.html I'm preparing the backport in ppa:rbalint/scratch and also run autopkgtests on it in addition to testing it manually in VMs. [Original Bug Text] Changes to support day-of-week patching and logging to syslog were added to upstream (https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades) over a year ago. These changes are not present in the latest Xenial nor Trusty packages (0.90 and 0.82.1) - requesting that these changes be pulled from upstream.
