apt has the option to set timers that can be invoked periodically to update the database. rrs@priyasi:~$ systemctl status apt-daily.timer apt-daily-upgrade.timer ● apt-daily.timer - Daily apt download activities Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Trigger: n/a ● apt-daily-upgrade.timer - Daily apt upgrade and clean activities Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Trigger: n/a 10:59 ♒♒♒ ☹ 😟=> 3 A similar timer could be introduced for fwupd. THis bug report should instead be a wishlist, so I'm changing the severity accordingly. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
