I'd change that cron script so that the update runs a download-only.
You're up for a world of hurt if you're automajickally installing
software unattended on a testing/unstable track. Sort of like investing
in tech in the late 1990s. Seems like a really great idea for a
while....
Try instead:
apt-get -d dist-upgrade
apt-get autoclean
...and run 'apt-get -s dist-upgrade' by hand to see what's actually
going to happen, and a final committment when you're comfortable with
the plan.
Peace.
