Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 2.8 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: bugrepo...@pouzenc.fr
Dear Maintainer, Unattended-upgrade installs security upgrades with too much (random) delay, more than 24h after DSA and mirror availability. On a pool of about twenty debian 11 VM, the majority ends with 2 day of lagg on published DSA. I expect things like in pre-systemd debian : all upgrades applied before the start of the current working day. I believe it's mostly an apt problem with /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily. I've reported this as #1008679 on src:apt. I create a BR against unattended-upgrades because it set in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades : APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; Witch is mostly bad with the default (apt) /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer : OnCalendar=*-*-* 6,18:00 (twice a day) "1" random skip apt update for 36h in worst cases I believe. Extra delay is added with apt-daily-upgrade.timer. APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "always"; may be an other value to consider (or not). Code using APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists is currently very complicated. (in debian 11 at least). /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades does not provide comments for helping admins about tuning that. Be cautious: the comment in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily about Update-Package-Lists seems wrong and misleading for me. I have detailed everything I can in #1008679.
