Package: apticron Version: 1.1.61 Severity: normal Hello,
Ever since we have stretch servers using apticron, we're getting emails from the cron runs that show only two warning messages, twice the same line: W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead. I've run apticron with tracing on (bash -x apticron) and found out that the two following commands are the ones causing the warnings: /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y --ignore-hold --allow-unauthenticated -s dist-upgrade and: /usr/bin/apt-get --ignore-hold -qq -d dist-upgrade This means that apticron is calling apt-get with a deprecated set of arguments, but I'm not sure how to fix this yet. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.utf8), LANGUAGE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apticron depends on: ii apt 1.4.8 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-128+b1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii dpkg 1.18.24 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.1.1-1 ii ucf 3.0036 Versions of packages apticron recommends: ii apt-listchanges 3.10 ii iproute2 4.9.0-1+deb9u1 apticron suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
