Start with dpkg -s unattended-upgrades
If that is installed, check as root/with sudo:
# cat /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log
If you have unattended-upgrades package installed and it is configured
to fetch and install security updates only ( which is default ), that is
place to look for upgraded packages. You can also configure
unattended-upgrades to mail you where there was updates/upgrades and all
that jazz.
