Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 1.4 Severity: serious Recently I have had unattended-upgrades upgrade random packages from testing to experimental. If I downgrade the packages upgraded, I won't get the same packages upgraded the next day. I run apt-show-versions daily and save the output to my mail store. Using my mail store I found that the first instance of this happening was on 2018-07-06, there were earlier instances but they were from me manually installing packages from experimental and u-u doing subsequent upgrades. I noticed that I upgraded unattended-upgrades on that date from 1.3 to 1.4. I'm not sure, but the changelog indicates some package candidate changes, perhaps this caused the issue? I think this bug should be fixed before Debian releases buster, this could break some setups.
