Title:
unattended upgrade ran one day after schedule
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have noticed a strange behaviour in unattended upgrades. The host in
question is scheduled to run upgrades on Mondays every second week.
However, this week it ran upgrades on Tuesday instead (2019-04-09).
This is the first time I’ve noticed this behaviour. I checked the logs
in /var/log/apt/history.log* and I saw that worked as intended up
until this week. Upgrades ran as expected on 2019-03-11 and
2019-03-25, which where both Mondays.
The schedule was set with the line 'APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade
"14";' in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.
Could it be daylight savings time that has caused skewing of the
schedule?
The server is located in Sweden and on 2019-03-31 we switched from CET
to CEST. If the time diff is calculated with hours instead of calendar
days passed, perhaps the missing hour on 2019-03-31 caused the
scheduler to believe that on Monday 2019-03-08, two weeks (336 hours)
had not yet passed.
