I'd like to add here that:

- apt-daily is written to respect APT::Periodic::* settings, and you
  have those unset.
- in this very thread a possibility of a custom cron job that download
  updates was excluded.
- therefore it's simply wrong to include in the result of "systemctl
  list-timers" only "apt" timers and exclude everything else, since
  your problem can lie in those excluded timers.


> 3) Calling "systemctl disable" only works for *services*,

That not how it works, actually.
systemctl disable can be used to disable any timer, but you have to
specify it explicitly. I.e.

systemctl disable apt-daily.timer

Running "systemctl disable" on a service that's called by timer should
do nothing indeed.
