Is there anything that can be attributed to this behaviour at /var/log/apt/history.log* ? Could be anything, you'll need to evaluate Start-Date attribute. Of course, it's unlikely there will be anything, so it's time for an old magic trick - auditd. Install auditd package. Invoke: auditctl -w /usr/bin/apt -p rx auditctl -w /usr/bin/apt-get -p rx Wait for the next occurence of the problem, to speed things up - invoke "apt clean". To know exact time someone invoked apt without your knowledge - invoke "ausearch -f /usr/bin/apt -i". Once you know an exact time the problem happens - it should be trivial to search, say, journald entries for anything related. In short, dear listers, auditd. Have it, use it. Thing solves issues, and does it in non-intrusive way. Oh, and another question. Do you happen to have packagekit to be installed? This Fine Piece™ of RedHat middleware (have to keep the archives list PG-13 compliant, you see ;) is known to perform questionable tricks like this. Reco

This is not > what I want and is the subject of my original post. > Can we establish right now that this is neither expected nor default behaviour from Debian? Something has been done to be 'helpful' by some entity, and I'd agree the DE is likely to be to blame, if unattended-upgrades has been ruled out. I still find it difficult to believe that someone would recreate the functionality of u-u by other means, but there are a lot of strange people in Linux... A default installation of Debian, without a heavyweight DE, will *not* do this. Not one of the many Debian installations I have ever run has ever resulted in this happening, but then I haven't installed either Gnome or KDE since Gnome 3 arrived. A possible line of approach: you have a list of the recent downloads. It is possible that one of the history.log files under /var/log/apt may be helpful in identifying the time and date of download. The file /etc/crontab and the files under /etc/cron.d contain timed instructions. It may be possible to identify the culprit from time and date correlations. I do use /etc/crontab myself to run simulated upgrades on my servers without downloading anything, but sending an email to me if there are any upgrades available. It will be obvious if you have any cron script that is doing this kind of thing. -- Joe

Those are one pair of commands (there are others) to *manually* first download the list of upgradeable packages and then to download and install the packages themselves. If it was you who typed them, what did you expect them to do? If it wasn't you who typed them, find out who/what did so. -- Joe

Thanks Charles for your reply. Your suggestion "apt purge unattended-upgrades" implies that my deletion/removal of the file 50unattended-upgrades is insufficient. Is that correct? I shall feedback to you if your suggestion works. By the way, is there a method to suppression notification of new software and/or security updates? (I assume that if I can receive notifications of software/security updates, it means that my OS is communicating with Debian servers in the background, without my knowledge. I don't like that.)

See if purging unattended-upgrades does that for you. However, I use it, and the only notices I get are emails from that program, which requires edits in 50unattended-upgrades. So I don't know where those notices are coming from. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

Thanks for your reply. No, I haven't tried clearing the apt cache and shall let you know if my OS downloads software/security updates in the background. By the way, is there a method to suppression notification of new software and/or security updates?

Stella, Cannot remember if you have Gnome installed but you should have a look at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/594287, especially ALL the associated comments (click on "Show 7 more comments"). HTH l0f4r0

Hi, Thanks for your help and effort. I really appreciate it. > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2021 at 4:02 AM > From: l0f4r0@tuta.io > To: "Debian User" <debian-user@lists.debian.org> > Subject: Re: How do I permanently disable unattended downloads of software/security updates? > > Cannot remember if you have Gnome installed but you should have a look at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/594287, especially ALL the associated comments (click on "Show 7 more comments"). After I have done a fresh minimal install of Debian, I installed the following packages: xorg gnome-core gnome-tweak-tool synaptic gedit gdebi file-roller As you can see from the above, I did not install the full Gnome desktop environment. The link that you gave me leads to the post in which the description of the problem is similar to my issue. It contains helpful information and I have taken action based on what the contributors had written. I have disabled PackageKit. I have not purged gnome-software as advised by the contributor in said post. Why? I am afraid that purging gnome-software may cause my operating system to become unusable. I shall keep you informed if after disabling PackageKit, automatic downloads of software/security updates still take place.

Hi Tom Thanks for your help and time. I really appreciate it. Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2021 at 3:53 AM From: "Tom Browder" <tom.browder@gmail.com> To: "Stella Ashburne" <rewefie@gmx.com> Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: How do I permanently disable unattended downloads of software/security updates? How did you get the installation originally? Was it from a fresh install of Buster or an upgrade from 9 or older version? -Tom It was a fresh installation. I never do upgrades from Debian Stretch (a.k.a. version 9) and always choose Expert Install (without GUI). On a different topic, I noticed that you composed your email with HTML formatting. I didn't know it is allowed by Debian User Mailing List. I remember a few years ago, if one were to send an email to said mailing list, the former would never be published. At that time, all emails must be in plain text format. When did said mailing list accept emails that are HTML formatted?

Unfortunately I mostly use email from my iPad (gmail app) and I haven't found a way to get plain text on it like one can from a real computer. Sometimes I go to my Linux laptop and force plain text, but normally I try to strip out what I can. This time i'm replying from my laptop so it **should** be plain text. Best, -Tom

A small screenshot, output of 'dmesg' or compressed logs should go through (though not necessarily a good idea). > > This time i'm replying from my laptop so it **should** be plain text. > > > I am OK as long as Debian User Mailing List now accepts HTML-formatted > emails. HTML mails are possible, just frowned upon, especially if they don't contain an equivalent text part (which would make the html part redundant). Most readers will have their mail client configured to display the text part (only). Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
