Hi,

sorry for missing this.

On my server with unattended upgrades there are some additional
time-stamps:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2026-04-21 06:21 autoclean-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2026-04-22 03:14 download-upgradeable-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2026-04-22 06:01 unattended-upgrades-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2026-04-22 03:14 update-stamp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2026-04-22 06:01 upgrade-stamp

So I think the parentheses in above line should be something like:
(autoclean|download-upgradeable|unattended-upgrades|update|upgrade)

At least my notebook, which is the only machine that has the unattended-upgrades package installed, doesn't have the autoclean-stamp. Is that written by an optional feature? I cannot find anything in the unattended-upgrades package.

Since that directory is empty on my servers without unattended-upgrades, shouldn't that rule go into 32_aide_unattended-upgrades?

Greetings
Marc
