#240721 — apt automatically upgrading packages in unstable

From"Miguel A. Vallejo" <ea4eoz@gmail.com>

Subjectapt automatically upgrading packages in unstable
Message-ID<D3pZw-55J-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
A few days ago I noticed my debian unstable started to update packages
automatically. A quick inspection showed apt was updated, and also the
configuration files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, including a
20auto-upgrades file with all options enabled.

Because auto update in sid is at least dangerous, what is the right
way to keep apt configuration between apt updates?

Thank you

Probably to reconfigure the unattended-upgrades functionality in apt

dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

should do it.

All best

IMO unattended-upgrades should be uninstalled in Sid. No reason to auto
update. Everything should be checked by hand.

On Debian Sid I recommend disabling the unattended-upgrades services entirely:
sudo systemctl disable --now unattended-upgrades
