Unattended upgrades. Debian methods, please, not Ubuntu.
tl:dnr:
How do I get unattended upgrades a) to function and b) to tell me when it has
upgraded something.
With Debian unattended-upgrades installed I can't make out form Adam whether
they have run. I have run:
# cd /var/log/unattended-upgrades/
# cat unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log
# cat unattended-upgrades.log
With 0 result. (As above)
I have have run full-upgrade and looked for whether any security packages had
not been installed:
Current status: 5 updates [+5], 29069 new [+68].
root@Eros:/home/lisi# aptitude full-upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:
imagemagick-6.q16 imagemagick-common libmagickcore-6.q16-2
libmagickcore-6.q16-2-extra
libmagickwand-6.q16-2

But unattended upgrades is installed:
root@Eros:/home/lisi# aptitude search unattended-upgrades
i unattended-upgrades - automatic installation of
security upgrades
root@Eros:/home/lisi#
I have tried to see if a vim security patch had been installed after a vim
security alert. It had not.
So unattended upgrades would appear not to be working. How do I get it
working/configure it/ whatever.
How do I know when it is working and when it has upgraded something?
I set a configuration file up to email me, but not on this computer, and it
hasn't done so. Perhaps nothing has been upgraded.
Help! Where now.
