unattended-upgrades downloaded package information only from the sources in sources.list.d directory ignoring sources.list file
Hi,
in order to test unattended-upgrades I downgraded yesterday(4.06)
packages iceweasel, qemu-utils and thunderbird:
# # "apt list --upgradable" command below was executed on 4.06
# apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
iceweasel/stable 60.7.0esr-1~deb9u1 all [upgradable from: 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1]
qemu-utils/stable 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u6 amd64 [upgradable from:
1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u5]
thunderbird/stable 1:60.7.0-1~deb9u1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1:60.6.1-1~deb9u1]

As expected, the unattended-upgrades ran today(5.06) morning, but it
reported, that "No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and
no pending auto-removals". Indeed, when I checked for example "apt
policy iceweasel", then the apt saw the installed version as the
latest one:
$ sudo apt policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1
Candidate: 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1
Version table:
*** 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$
"apt policy" listed only the repository configured in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalocean-agent.list while ignoring the
ones in sources.list:
# apt policy
Package files:
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
release a=now
500 https://repos.insights.digitalocean.com/apt/do-agent main/main
amd64 Packages
release o=. main,a=main,n=main,l=. main,c=main,b=amd64
origin repos.insights.digitalocean.com
Pinned packages:

After executing "apt update", the rest of the repositories were again
seen in the output of "apt policy" and for example, the iceweasel was
again upgradable to 60.7.0esr-1~deb9u1:
$ sudo apt policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1
Candidate: 60.7.0esr-1~deb9u1
/* output removed for brevity */
$
Looks like the "apt update" or equivalent ran by unattended-upgrades
ignored the /etc/apt/sources.list file and used only
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalocean-agent.list as a source for
repositories.
What might cause this behavior?
thanks,
Martin
