Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.70 Severity: wishlist Hi,
At this point in time many packages are on hold for broken dependencies due to current transitions (i.e. perl 5.12.x). Thus there are days when there are available packages upgrades that cannot be installed safely without removing other packages. I received this report from u-a: #################### Unattended upgrade returned: True Packages that are upgraded: Packages with upgradable origin but kept back: frozen-bubble libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libfont-freetype-perl libglib-perl libgnome2-vfs-perl libhtml-parser-perl liblocale-gettext-perl libnet-dbus-perl libsdl-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libtext-iconv-perl libuuid-perl libxml-parser-perl libyaml-syck-perl perl perl-base perl-modules perlmagick Package installation log: Unattended-upgrades log: Initial blacklisted packages: Starting unattended upgrades script Allowed origins are: ['o=Debian,a=unstable', 'o=Debian,a=testing'] Packages that are auto removed: '' Packages that are upgraded: Writing dpkg log to '/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg_2011-05-06_08:40:23.351932.log' All upgrades installed #################### (the last line is not strictly true either) As you can see no package was upgraded by u-a. I think no mail should be sent if there was no package upgraded (no changes were made to the system).
