Please change /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades if you want u-u to try very hard to upgrade things: ... // When APT fails to mark a package to be upgraded or installed try adjusting // candidates of related packages to help APT's resolver in finding a solution // where the package can be upgraded or installed. // This is a workaround until APT's resolver is fixed to always find a // solution if it exists. (See Debian bug #711128.) // The fallback is enabled by default, except on Debian's sid release because // uninstallable packages are frequent there. // Disabling the fallback speeds up unattended-upgrades when there are // uninstallable packages at the expense of rarely keeping back packages which // could be upgraded or installed. // Unattended-Upgrade::Allow-APT-Mark-Fallback "true"; Cheers, Balint -- Balint Reczey Ubuntu & Debian Developer
