I'd like to add here that: - apt-daily is written to respect APT::Periodic::* settings, and you have those unset. - in this very thread a possibility of a custom cron job that download updates was excluded. - therefore it's simply wrong to include in the result of "systemctl list-timers" only "apt" timers and exclude everything else, since your problem can lie in those excluded timers. > 3) Calling "systemctl disable" only works for *services*, That not how it works, actually. systemctl disable can be used to disable any timer, but you have to specify it explicitly. I.e. systemctl disable apt-daily.timer Running "systemctl disable" on a service that's called by timer should do nothing indeed. Reco
