Public bug reported:
The function get_automation_level tries to see if updates will be
installed automatically, however the check is really incomplete.
143 def get_update_automation_level(self):
144 """ Parse the apt cron configuration. Try to fit a predefined use case
145 and return it. Special case: if the user made a custom
146 configurtation, that we cannot represent it will return None """
147 if apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["autoupdate"]) > 0:
148 # Autodownload
149 if apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["unattended"])
== 1\
150 and os.path.exists("/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade"):
151 return softwareproperties.UPDATE_INST_SEC
152 elif
apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["autodownload"]) == 1 and \
153
apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["unattended"]) == 0:
154 return softwareproperties.UPDATE_DOWNLOAD
155 elif
apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["unattended"]) == 0 and \
156
apt_pkg.config.find_i(softwareproperties.CONF_MAP["autodownload"]) == 0:
157 return softwareproperties.UPDATE_NOTIFY
158 else:
159 return None
unattended maps to "APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade" (see
softwareproperties/__init__.py.
However, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades could contain
Unattended-Upgrade and not allow any origins e.g.:
1 // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
2 Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
3 // "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
4 // "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
5 // "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
6 // "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
7 };
The check really should dig deeper in Unattended-Upgrade.
