# This file understands the following apt configuration variables:
# Values here are the default.
# Create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic file to set your preference.
(...)
#
#  APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
#  - Do "apt-get update" automatically every n-days (0=disable)
#    

it looks like you have a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic where 
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists is set to "1" (or so). Here (on
Jessie) such a file does not exist, and as promised the updates don't
happen.

Regards

Michael
