** Description changed: After upgrading from Ubuntu Server 10.04 to Ubuntu Server 10.10, I noticed that security updates were no longer being applied automatically (contrary to my configuration). I did some poking around in the apt script (in etc/cron.daily). Here is the output with debug mode on. (I cleared out the time stamp files to - force it to update now so errors regarding those are not important. + force it to update now so errors regarding those are not important.) power status (255) undetermined, continuing system is on main power. sleeping for 739 seconds check_stamp: missing time stamp file: /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp. apt-key net-update (success) download updated metadata (success). send dbus signal (success) X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. check_stamp: missing time stamp file: /var/lib/apt/periodic/download-upgradeable-stamp. download upgradable (success) check_stamp: missing time stamp file: /var/lib/apt/periodic/upgrade-stamp. Segmentation fault unattended-upgrade (error) check_stamp: missing time stamp file: /var/lib/apt/periodic/autoclean-stamp. autoclean (success). aged: ctime <30 and mtime <30 and ctime>2 and mtime>2 end remove by archive size: size=412396 < 512000 So, what's that seg fault in the middle there? Turns out it is the call to /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade. I can actually reproduce it like this: $ sudo unattended-upgrade Segmentation fault Now, this is about all I know how to do to debug the issue. If you'd like me to run a stack trace or something on unattended-upgrade to figure out why it is crashing, please point me towards some directions to do so. (I notice that it is a python script and I am not very familiar with python.) In any case, this is a security issue, since security updates cannot be installed automatically, I have to remember to check the server often to make sure that security updates are applied.
