What I get is a mail from cron: From: Cron Daemon <root@$domain> To: root@$domain Subject: Cron <root@$host> if test -x /usr/sbin/apticron; then /usr/sbin/apticron --cron; else true; fi Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 16:39:45 +0100 E: Held packages were changed and -y was used without --allow-change-held-packages.

It makes apticron pretty useless as I don't get any information about which (held or not held) packages are available for updating. > The solution proposed "allow-change-held-packages" it's also > very dangerous, as you can see in the man page: This is in a line with `apt-get -s' i.e. nothing is updated, it's just about getting the list of packages by simulating an update.
