Well, after upgrading, unattended-upgrades was launched daily as it should be. The only problem then was that it didn't perform any package upgrade even when there were things to upgrade. After checking the /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log, I spotted the problem:
Initial blacklisted packages: Starting unattended upgrades script Allowed origins are: ['o=Debian,a=testing', 'o=Debian,a=testing-updates', 'o=Debian,a=proposed-updates', 'origin=Debian,archive=testing,label=Debian-Security'] Checking: idle3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: krb5-locales (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libavahi-client3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libavahi-common-data (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:' mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libavahi-common3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libavahi-glib1 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libgssapi-krb5-2 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:' mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libk5crypto3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libkrb5-3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libkrb5support0 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: libsystemd-login0 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: perl (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: perl-base (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: perl-modules (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: python3 (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) Checking: python3-minimal (["<Origin component:'main' archive:'testing' origin:'Raspbian' label:'Raspbian' site:'mirrordirector.raspbian.org' isTrusted:True>"]) pkgs that look like they should be upgraded: Fetched 0 B in 0s (0 B/s) fetch.run() result: 0 blacklist: [] Packages that are auto removed: '' InstCount=0 DelCount=0 BrokenCout=0 No packages found that can be upgraded unattended The origin used by these packages is Raspbian, not Debian, so I updated my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades file and changed all Debian references by Raspbian and the problem seems to be solved by now. Thanks all of you for your support. ♥ On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 6:39 PM, Arturo Moral <[email protected]> wrote: > I just upgraded to version 0.79.5 (current in wheezy). > > I replaced my old "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" config file > by the new one and modified some lines: > > // Automatically upgrade packages from these origin patterns > Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern { > // Archive or Suite based matching: > // Note that this will silently match a different release after > // migration to the specified archive (e.g. testing becomes the > // new stable). > "o=Debian,a=testing"; > "o=Debian,a=testing-updates"; > // "o=Debian,a=proposed-updates"; > "origin=Debian,archive=testing,label=Debian-Security"; > > }; > > // List of packages to not update > Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { > // "vim"; > // "libc6"; > // "libc6-dev"; > // "libc6-i686"; > }; > > // This option allows you to control if on a unclean dpkg exit > // unattended-upgrades will automatically run > // dpkg --force-confold --configure -a > // The default is true, to ensure updates keep getting installed > //Unattended-Upgrade::AutoFixInterruptedDpkg "false"; > > // Split the upgrade into the smallest possible chunks so that > // they can be interrupted with SIGUSR1.
