Or at least disable any automatic updates. What is a "Software store"? What "Software Updates feature" are you seeing? Are you sure you're even running Debian? If you're running something that's "based on Debian", we may not know anything about it. If you are running Debian, which version of Debian is it, and which Desktop Environment, if any, are you using? If what you're seeing is part of some Desktop Environment, then maybe someone else on this mailing list will recognize it. The more details you can provide about it, the better. Are you seeing log messages indicating that someting is installing package updates? If so, which log file are they in, and most importantly, *exactly what do these messages say*? > Tripwire is useless with automated system updates etc. I have to question whether tripwire is more useful than Debian's security updates. Though, if your plan is to run "apt update" and "apt upgrade" by hand, at a time of your choosing, so that you can update tripwire's state afterward, then that's fine.
