unattended-upgrades needed manual configuration to be activated on a machine, though. So the mere presence of the package shouldn't block any hibernation. Quoting its README: | This script can install security upgrades automatically and | unattended. However, it is not enabled by default. Most users | enable it via the Software Sources programm (available in | System/Administration), which has a simple radiobutton in the UI | for enabling unattended upgrades. | | If you would prefer to enable it from the command line, run | "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades".
