No, that one is from apt-daily-upgrade.timer: $ grep -r "upgrade and clean" /lib/systemd/ /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer:Description=Daily apt upgrade and clean activities /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.service:Description=Daily apt upgrade and clean activities $ systemctl cat apt-daily-upgrade # /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.service [Unit] Description=Daily apt upgrade and clean activities Documentation=man:apt(8) ConditionACPower=true After=apt-daily.service network.target network-online.target systemd-networkd.servic> [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStartPre=-/usr/lib/apt/apt-helper wait-online ExecStart=/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily install KillMode=process TimeoutStopSec=900 > I'm sure I don't want any automatic apt upgrade happening, but what > are the "clean activities"? Upgrades only happen if you have allowed unattended-upgrades, so don't be concerned by the description of the service saying "upgrade". "clean" refers to "apt-get clean" and "apt-get autoclean". See the actual script /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily for the apt configuration settings which would allow these things to happen and control how often they happen.
