Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.79.5
Short summary: If I do this:
echo 'APT::Get { AllowUnauthenticated "true" }' >
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80allowunauthenticated
then unattended-upgrades considers all packages to be mysteriously
"blacklisted" and they are not upgraded.
This is probably related to this apt bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=353800
It would be nice if unattended-upgrades could have his own logic
regarding what packages are suitable to be upgraded instead of
(apparently) blindly trusting apt when apt is wrong.
If that is not possible, it would be nice if at least debug output
could say *anything* about the reasons why a given package is blacklisted.
The following output is taken from a virtual qemu machine running
Debian 7.1 on which base-files has been downgraded by hand to the
version in Debian 7.0 to see how it is upgraded.
Initial blacklisted packages:

By looking at this, how can the user infer that the package is
blacklisted because of an obscure apt bug not having anything to do
with unattended-upgrades?
Thanks.
