Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping systems secure. By default, updates need to be applied manually using package management tools. Alternatively, you can choose to have this system automatically download and install important updates. Automatically download and install stable updates? [yes/no] yes root@x-uu-lp-1260041:~# ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577215 Title: Origin pattern is unexpected on dpkg-reconfigure Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: In testing out the new unattended-upgrades behaviour I was asked an unexpected question about the "unattended-upgrades Origin-Pattern". This is not a great experience, it doesn't match anything other than internal code patterns. For example, the default offered does NOT look like a sensible Ubuntu default for Ubuntu users: "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian- Security";___ Is that correct, or a mistake? What I would expect is simply this: Install security updates (Y/N) Install performance and reliability updates (Y/N) Install updates from unofficial archives (Y/N) The latter would map to all PPAs etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1577215/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
