I test this again in the following manner, installed apt and unattended- upgrades from Balint's PPA, then modified /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto- upgrades so that APT:Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade was "1". I then ran "sudo service apt-daily-upgrade start" and ran the u-u-reboot.sh script I've mentioned before.
After the reboot I ran 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' which returned: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. This is the problem we are trying to avoid. I'll attach /var/log /unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log and u-u-dpkg.log. ** Attachment added: "unattended-upgrades.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1690980/+attachment/4924778/+files/unattended-upgrades.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690980 Title: unattended-upgrades does not block shutdown of system, as it is designed to To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1690980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
