The behavior is intentional: https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/pull/149
After the release the release pocket does not change and only security updates and their dependencies from the release pocket will be upgraded/installed. ** Changed in: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- 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/1824470 Title: Unattended-upgrade starts upgrading packages on dev release 21 days before the release date Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With the default configuration (nothing changed), I see in the development version of ubuntu (disco) that unattended-upgrade is now updating every package first thing after boot. As you can see below, it didn't update packages from the security pocket, but all packages in the release pocket (mutter, gnome-shell and others just migrated to disco-release). 1. This makes on the development version a PITA, because you don't control your own updates 2. I didn't enroll to update all packages at any time 3. "Software & Updates" tells me it is set to only auto-install security updates, which isn't the case (at least on the development version) ----- Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:35 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: runc:amd64 (1.0.0~rc6+git20190307.2b18fe1d-0ubuntu1, 1.0.0~rc7+git20190403.029124da-0ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:38 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:41 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: gir1.2-mutter-4:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu2, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1), libmutter-4-0:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu2, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1), mutter-common:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu2, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:44 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:46 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: gnome-shell-common:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu1, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1), gnome-shell:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu1, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:49 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:51 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: fwupd-signed:amd64 (1.5+1.2.5-1, 1.6+1.2.5-1ubuntu1), fwupd:amd64 (1.2.5-1, 1.2.5-1ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:53 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:56 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: libopenexr-dev:amd64 (2.2.1-4build1, 2.2.1-4.1), libopenexr23:amd64 (2.2.1-4build1, 2.2.1-4.1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:54:57 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:00 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: python3-apport:amd64 (2.20.10-0ubuntu26, 2.20.10-0ubuntu27), apport-gtk:amd64 (2.20.10-0ubuntu26, 2.20.10-0ubuntu27) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:01 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:04 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: libfwupd2:amd64 (1.2.5-1, 1.2.5-1ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:04 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:07 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: mutter:amd64 (3.32.0-1ubuntu2, 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:07 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:10 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: apport-retrace:amd64 (2.20.10-0ubuntu26, 2.20.10-0ubuntu27) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:11 Start-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:13 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: apport:amd64 (2.20.10-0ubuntu26, 2.20.10-0ubuntu27) End-Date: 2019-04-12 07:55:16 ----------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: unattended-upgrades 1.10ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-8.9-generic 5.0.1 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Apr 12 08:12:34 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-24 (322 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: unattended-upgrades UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to disco on 2019-01-08 (93 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1824470/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
