Re: unattended-upgrades downloaded package information only from the sources in sources.list.d directory ignoring sources.list file

I configured cron with one minute interval to log the output of "apt
policy" with a timestamp into a log file in order to understand when
exactly the repository list is messed up. Turns out, that
/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily script executed by apt-daily systemd
service unit does not mess up the repository list. It happened between
"Sat Jun  8 06:25:01 UTC 2019" and "Sat Jun  8 06:26:01 UTC 2019".
When I check the logs for 06:00 to 06:30 time-period, then following
was logged:

$ sudo journalctl --since "2019-06-08 06:00:00" --until "2019-06-08 06:30:00"
-- Logs begin at Mon 2019-05-13 19:38:07 UTC, end at Sat 2019-06-08
08:11:24 UTC. --

What and why is sending those signals to processes? Could it somehow
affect the repository list..?
