Unattended Upgrades not working [SOLVED]

#1 Post by ItsShowtime »

Hi everyone,

I configured unattended upgrades based on the official Debian guide found here: https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades.

Interesting configuratin files can be found here: https://mega.nz/#F!ezokiaia!wm1FduLak8-60aXHQZqQtg. Feel free to ask for more information.

[PMS - Upgrade]
Below is the terminal output when I manually test the unattended upgrade (doesn't find the Plex Media Server upgrade). Afterwards I do the apt-get update command (nothing to update) and the apt-get upgrade command (the Plex Media Server upgrade gets installed correctly).

[Google Chrome Stable - Upgrade]
The same counts for the Google Chrome Stable upgrades, they don't get installed during the unattended upgrade, but they do get installed during the apt-get update process.

[Debian - Update]
The same counts for the debian stretch-updates, they don't get installed during the unattended upgrade, but they do get installed during the apt-get update process.

[MEGA - Update]
For MEGA the case is a bit different, since it always installs the same update when performing apt-get update, the issue of that lies somewhere else (although I am also clueless why it behaves like that...).

Hey,
  • I added the code block in my OP
    I added the following to my setup file:

    Code: Select all

    Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern {
            "site=downloads.plex.tv";
    };
    did a debug and it seems to be working.
Thanks for helping out this noob with his unattended upgrades :)
