Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 2.8 Version: 2.3ubuntu0.1 Hi, While trying to create an ansible playbook to enable/disable unattended-upgrades I ran into a strange behavior, it seems that dpkg-reconfigure is reverting the package to the installed state instead of applying the change made through debconf, running the postinst script manually (extracted from the deb to /tmp) does result in the expected outcome.
Example: root@debian:~# debconf-show unattended-upgrades * unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: true ******* run playbook that changes state ********* root@debian:~# debconf-show unattended-upgrades * unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: false root@debian:~# dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive unattended-upgrades root@debian:~# debconf-show unattended-upgrades * unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: true The same seems to apply in the other direction (false > true). It is unclear to me if dpkg-reconfigur is triggering the postinst script or not. Thanks for the great work, Eli
