If the fix is not in the security pocket, how does it get sorted if the updates pocket is turned off?
I understood *-updates are only supposed to be recommended. As I mentioned if you build an image with a tool like 'mkosi' which utilises debootstrap and then cleans the cache, the partial directory is missing in the resulting image. Under the Debian file system layout /var is supposed to be volatile. You can't rely on anything being there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873794 Title: Unattended upgrades fixes missing from security repo Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Eoan: Fix Released Bug description: Critical unattended upgrades fixes are missing from the bionic security repo, which means that if you are using an installation of Ubuntu using only 'bionic' and 'bionic-security' you can stop unattended-upgrades from working just by doing a 'rmdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial'. This is because the 'rootdir' parameter on the main function is set to "" rather than "/" - which disables the required directories and files check. I'm presuming here that the *-updates pocket is still 'recommended' rather than 'required'.
