Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.83.3.1
Severity: important
I have been using this package successfully to upgrade several
computer labs while jessie was testing.
This package did the "upgrade to the jessie of today".
In Debian 8.1, however, I see that the format of the file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades has just changed
in a way that it is not clear at all what one should do to achieve
the same result as before: upgrade to the jessie of the day.
By default, I see that only security is enabled:
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
Ok, but what about jessie proper?
Some packages (for example, base-files) arrive at jessie via
proposed-updates, but I only want to have them upgraded when they are
included in the next point release.
This used to work before (i.e. upgrade to the jessie of the day), but
does no longer work, so in some way it is a regression.
I tried adding a line like this:
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}";
but it didn't work.
To test, please install base-files_8 and then run
"unattended-upgrade", you will see that base-files is not upgraded.
By default, IMHO, there should be a line to upgrade packages from jessie.
If this is not possible, then please add the line with // so that it's
easy to uncomment.
Thanks.
