first suggested:
> In Software & Updates, click on When there are security
updates:, and double check that Download automatically, or Download and
install automatically, are not selected.<
Correct: no automatic security updates.
Regarding chet's second suggestion, referring to the robpickering.com
article, my 50unattended-upgades file has only one line not commented
out, regarding security upgrades, exactly like the example quoted in the
article.
As a further example, when I clicked on Software-Updater just now, an
update to ABrowser came through without any request for authentication after
I clicked on "check for updates."
Do we have conflicting authorizations ? If I chose "no automatic
security updates" in Software & Updates, does that override or is it
contramanded by the 50unattended-upgrades file ?
The present situation, wherein I cannot predict when Software Updater
will or will not ask for authorization, seems unacceptable from a
security standpoint.
