Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.82.7
Severity: minor
Hi,
The file 50unattended-upgrades contains this section:
// List of packages to not update (regexp are supported)
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
// "vim";
// "libc6";
// "libc6-dev";
// "libc6-i686";
};
Since the program uses re.match in python, "libc6" is actually used as
the regex "^libc6", which already also matches libc6-dev, libc6-i686 or
anything other that starts with lib6c. Identically, "vim" also matches
vimperator, etc...
This makes the list of examples a bit misleading for users. Regexes are
not only supported, they are mandatory here. :)
Here's a suggestion for a change of this part of the configuration file,
which might help users who are not very familiar with regular
expressions a bit:
// Regular expressions, matching packages to exclude from upgrading
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
// The following matches all packages starting with linux-
// "linux-";
// Use $ to explicitely define the end of a package name. Without
// the $, "libc6" would match all of them.
// "libc6$";
// "libc6-dev$";
// "libc6-i686$";
// The following matches packages like xen-system-amd64, xen-utils-4.1,
// xenstore-utils and libxenstore3.0
"(lib)?xen(store)?";
// For more information about regular expressions, see
// https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html
};
Since the configured list is a blacklist, it's easier to accidentally
prevent upgrades instead of accidentally installing them when making
mistakes, that's nice.
Regards,

[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* test_dev_release: Fix and enable test.
* Depend on python3-distro-info.
This is needed to make sure DEVEL_UNTIL_RELEASE actually works. We need
to fix up travis in addition to control, as it only knows about trusty
build dependencies.
* Import distro_info globally, and fix calculation of days.
The check was off by one: If you were 21 days away from the release,
it would not switch on, but tell you that it would not upgrade before
today.
* test_dev_release: Test Unattended-Upgrade::DevRelease=auto.
.
[ David Lang and Balint Reczey]
* Allow installing untrusted packages when APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated
is set (Closes: #775469) (LP: #1167053)
.
[ Hans van Kranenburg and Balint Reczey]
* Clarify highly misleading Package-Blacklist option documentation
(Closes: #753892)
.
[ Balint Reczey ]
* test/test_dev_release.py: Fix missing mock attributes
* Leave the cache clean when returning from calculate_upgradable_pkgs()
When collecting upgradable packages the upgradable ones stayed in the
cache and they were upgraded together even when unattended-upgrades
was configured to perform upgrades in minimal steps.
Thanks to Paul Wise
* debian/tests/upgrade-all-security: Check if all security-updates are
applied and if old-autoremovable packages are kept
* Clear cache only when needed when checking black- and whitelists
* Add --no-minimal-upgrade-steps option
* Stop using untrusted package names as blacklists (LP: #1805447)
* Update copyright info
* Load modules lazily loaded by datetime.datetime.strptime() when u-u starts
When Python is upgraded to a new major version the the version running
unattended-upgrades can be removed as being newly unused causing a crash.
* Start service after systemd-logind.service to be able to take inhibition
lock
and handle gracefully when logind is down (LP: #1806487)
* List packages making reboot required in /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
