Note that you may be required to have root privileges if you do not use the default options. vars.apt_upgrade = false might suggests that upgrades are not performed, but that's not what the --upgrade option is for. check_apt will show which packages will get upgraded if you were to execute `apt-get upgrade`, or which will get upgraded if you were to execute `apt-get dist-upgrade` when using check_apt --dist-upgrade. You should remove var.apt_upgrade from your Service configuration. Can you confirm that resolves this issue?
