Public bug reported: The presence of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades (in package unattended-upgrades) prevents editing the option for deciding how security updates should be handled in Software Sources dialog (Software Sources -> Updates -> When there are security updates). In fact, the combo box for this option is disabled.
However, I cannot remove unattended-upgrades. Because attempting to do so display this: > sudo apt-get remove unattended-upgrades Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: launchpad-getkeys yad Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

A temporary workaround is to comment out all the content in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades. ** Affects: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Unable to remove unattended-upgrades on Xubuntu 11.04 + Unable to remove unattended-upgrades -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018367 Title: Unable to remove unattended-upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1018367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
