[Test Case] * Set up a system where systemd (or a package that can't be upgraded without also upgrading other packages) need to be upgraded to the version in -security. * Mark systemd on hold apt mark hold systemd * Observe u-u falling back to adjusting all upgradable packages in unfixed versions and adjusting only a few in fixed versions: # unattended-upgrade --verbose --debug ... adjusting candidate version: libnss-systemd=237-3ubuntu10.19 falling back to marking libnss-systemd, then adjusting changes package libnss-systemd upgradable but fails to be marked for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.) falling back to adjusting all packages adjusting candidate version: 2ping=4.1-1 ... Fixed: ... adjusting candidate version: libnss-systemd=237-3ubuntu10.19 falling back to adjusting libnss-systemd's dependencies recursively adjusting candidate version: libnss-systemd=237-3ubuntu10.19 adjusting candidate version: libkmod2=24-1ubuntu3 adjusting candidate version: mount=2.31.1-0.4ubuntu3 adjusting candidate version: libmount1=2.31.1-0.4ubuntu3 ... [Regression Potential] * The less extensive fallback may not find solutions for installing packages with special relationships that the full fallback could have found, but I don't know about such special cases in the archive and the autopkgtest cover a fair set of popular packages. Keeping back those packages seems to be better than spending a lot of CPU time on finding a few solutions - which still was not enough to find _all_ solutions.
