OK, so 1.4.4 and friends actually enable debugging mode of unattended- upgrade instead of a download-only mode. --dry-run is documented as only doing downloads, but it also simulates the install and does verbose logging, so that's not useful.
In 1.4.6, I modified apt.systemd.daily to check unattended-upgrade --help for "download-only", and use that if it exists. This means that with 1.4.6, everything should work once this is implemented in unattended-upgrades. I attached an early patch for unattended-upgrades (against the upstream version), there might be issues with it other than missing translations for --help. ** Patch added: "unattended-upgrade.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1686470/+attachment/4887192/+files/unattended-upgrade.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686470 Title: Apt updates that are uniformly spread across all timezones, with predictable application windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1686470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
