Here in Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS it seems to install upgrades fine, even though there is "InstCount=0" in the log.

The logfile tells: cat /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log 2013-05-06 14:57:05,724 INFO Pakete, die anfangs auf die schwarzen Liste standen: 2013-05-06 14:57:05,724 INFO Skript für unbeaufsichtigte Upgrades wird gestartet. 2013-05-06 14:57:05,725 INFO erlaubte Ursprünge sind: ['o=Ubuntu,a=raring-security', 'o=Ubuntu,a=raring-updates'] 2013-05-06 14:57:09,114 INFO Es wurden keine Pakete gefunden, von denen ein unbeaufsichtigtes Upgrade durchgeführt werden kann. 2013-05-07 11:33:04,944 INFO Pakete, die anfangs auf die schwarzen Liste standen: 2013-05-07 11:33:04,944 INFO Skript für unbeaufsichtigte Upgrades wird gestartet. 2013-05-07 11:33:04,944 INFO erlaubte Ursprünge sind: ['o=Ubuntu,a=raring-security', 'o=Ubuntu,a=raring-updates'] 2013-05-07 11:33:08,398 INFO Es wurden keine Pakete gefunden, von denen ein unbeaufsichtigtes Upgrade durchgeführt werden kann. which means two times, that allowed sources are ['o=Ubuntu,a=raring- security', 'o=Ubuntu,a=raring-updates']. I do suspect it is because of the automatic distribution setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades or the setting of the corresponding variables: "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates" When this line is set manually to "Ubuntu:raring-updates", it will work.
