We'll eventually get a retry support in apt, if updating failed, but
there are no plans to react to connection state changes.
The retry will be linear every 10 minutes or so I suppose, but can't be
sure, we'll have to see - I'd do exponential, but systemd does not give
us an option for that.

@Julian, the issue isn't really a desktop one, or we need to fix every
desktop out there to do their own integration which doesn't make sense.
Also some users do work from a VT and they should also be able to get
security updates

It is actually APT that triggers the u-u runs, so if there is anything that can

@rbalint As I detailed, the problems cannot *all* be resolved by config.
The biggest one, the first above, is still there. If you turn on a
laptop when (1) an update is overdue and (2) there is not yet an
internet connection, then the update will not run even if the connection
becomes available 5 m
Those options can be overridden to match your preference. I for example
enable u-u on metered connections because the plan I use allows enough
traffic for that.
