Title:
unattended-upgrades should tell the user (via motd) when security
updates are held back
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Currently we have the following pieces as part of the default UX on
Ubuntu 18.04 and later:
1) unattended-upgrades automatically installs security updates daily by
default
2) the motd reports the number of available updates, including security
updates.
A user who knows about 1) also knows that a non-zero number of pending
security updates listed in 2) is nothing to worry about.
However, unattended-upgrades will also cleverly detect when a security
update cannot safely be installed non-interactively due to conffile
changes on the system.
In this case, unattended-upgrades should also inform the user via the
motd that these updates are not being installed. Otherwise, there's
nothing to tell the user that the non-zero count of available security
updates in motd is a *problem*.
Suggested wording:
N security updates will not be automatically installed due to local changes.
See /var/log/foo for details.
