There is a typo in the /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrade script. Easy to fix. It does not mean unattended-upgrades do not run -- they run from /etc/cron.daily/apt via the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrade variables.
The purpose of this /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrade script is to wait if an unattended upgrade is in progress during a shutdown, to let it finish gracefully. The init.d script has the default runlevels wrong and so the error shows up. 0 r...@oystercatcher:~#dpkg-reconfigure -u unattended-upgrades update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (0 6) update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades stop runlevel arguments (0 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none) 0 r...@oystercatcher:~#grep Desc /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades # Short-Description: Check if unattended upgrades are being applied # Description: Check if unattended upgrades are being applied 0 r...@oystercatcher:~#grep shut /etc/init.d/unattended-upgrades # Provides: unattended-upgrade-shutdown-check python /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown 0 r...@oystercatcher:~#ls -l /etc/rc*/*unatte* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 16 15:10 /etc/rc0.d/S10unattended-upgrades -> ../init.d/unattended-upgrades lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 16 15:10 /etc/rc6.d/S10unattended-upgrades -> ../init.d/unattended-upgrades ################# should those not really be K10unattended-upgrades?
