** Description changed: + [Impact] + Causes automatic upgrades by unattended-upgrades to be interrupted if apt is configured, leaving the system in a partially configured state. + + [Test case] + Install apt - make sure the apt-daily.service is not restarted (this systemd service runs unattended-upgrades) + + [Regression Potential] + It's only overriding dh_systemd_start to not be called for the service, so I don't see any possibility for regressions. + + [Original Bug report] This morning, I discovered that my new xenial system had attempted an unattended upgrade overnight but the upgrade was incomplete. It attempted to upgrade apt apt-transport-https apt-utils firefox firefox-locale-en flashplugin-installer libapt-inst2.0 libapt-pkg5.0 libgme0 but the unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log log terminates after apt is configured. I had to dpkg --configure --pending and apt-get -f install to get apt back into working order. There were no errors, crashes or cores logged. The journal indicates that apt-daily.service stopped and restarted around the time of the upgrade, so I am assuming that is the problem (that systemd killed the update session as the result of an update to the unit files) - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-12-06 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.2) NonfreeKernelModules: openafs Package: apt 1.3.2ubuntu0.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-30.32-generic 4.8.6 Tags: yakkety Uname: Linux 4.8.0-30-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo wireshark _MarkForUpload: True
