Hi

Thanks for your reply and offer of help.

Before I provide you the answers, please note that I had removed/deleted the package called 50unattended-upgrades in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ before my original post in this mailing list.

Secondly, according to a reply that I received prior to your response, I issued the command

sudo systemctl diaable unattended-upgrades

Please find below the results of what you had asked me to do:

ls -al /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
