Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.73.1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
The u-a execution from today had no packages to upgrade:
| 2011-11-03 06:06:06,374 INFO Initial blacklisted packages:
| 2011-11-03 06:06:06,375 INFO Starting unattended upgrades script

| 2011-11-03 06:06:19,078 INFO All upgrades installed
The content of the specific 2011-11-03 log file is:
| [ Rootkit Hunter version 1.3.8 ]
| File updated: searched for 167 files, found 138
These lines are produced by this config I've put in apt.conf.d/98rkhunter:
| DPkg {
| // Auto update the 'rkhunter' properties database
| Post-Invoke { "which rkhunter >/dev/null && rkhunter --propupd"; };
| };
This allows me automatically update the rkhunter properties on manual or
automatic packages upgrades. However, u-a somehow executes 'dpkg' even if
no package is upgraded. Why?
In README.gz I read this:
| All operations will be logged in /var/log/unattended-upgrades/. This
| includes the dpkg output as well.
This is fine when there is something to upgrade. But why execute 'dpkg' on
every execution? Isn't there some other way to determine if there are some
packages to upgrade?
Thanks
