Start with dpkg -s unattended-upgrades If that is installed, check as root/with sudo: # cat /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log If you have unattended-upgrades package installed and it is configured to fetch and install security updates only ( which is default ), that is place to look for upgraded packages. You can also configure unattended-upgrades to mail you where there was updates/upgrades and all that jazz.
