I don't know of any way to only have it automatically inform you of updates. You could probably write a systemd unit or two to have it run "apt list --upgradable" from time to time. Synaptic might have something of the kind. Or you can have it install upgrades automatically by installing the unattended-upgrades package. I have mine send emails so I can review the results. It does occasionally hit an odd error which requires manual intervention. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
