Confirmed that in bionic it offers this Origins-Pattern in the "Configuring unattended-upgrades" debconf question:
"origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security"; That should be Ubuntu, or ${distro_id} perhaps. That being said, it doesn't seem to be used in the end, because my 50unattended-upgrades file has no mention of Debian and uses ${distro_id} everywhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577215 Title: Origin pattern is unexpected on dpkg-reconfigure Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In testing out the new unattended-upgrades behaviour I was asked an unexpected question about the "unattended-upgrades Origin-Pattern". This is not a great experience, it doesn't match anything other than internal code patterns. For example, the default offered does NOT look like a sensible Ubuntu default for Ubuntu users: "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian- Security";___ Is that correct, or a mistake? What I would expect is simply this: Install security updates (Y/N) Install performance and reliability updates (Y/N) Install updates from unofficial archives (Y/N) The latter would map to all PPAs etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1577215/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
