Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 0.86.5 Severity: normal Hi,
I usually have / on a cheap SSD and /var & /home on a HDD. I noticed that files got created in /var/ in the root partition, thus before /var got mounted or more likely after /var got unmounted. /mnt/var/run/unattended-upgrades.lock /mnt/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log There's a specific systemd option to fix this: "RequiresMountsFor=/var/log" This will also fix /var/run, as this should always be a link to /run. --- Also, the line "if apt_pkg.config.find_b("Unattended- Upgrade::InstallOnShutdown", False):" should be duplicated before the previous paragrah to avoid creating an always-empty unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log if this feature is not used. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (450, 'unstable'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages unattended-upgrades depends on: ii apt 1.1.10 ii apt-utils 1.1.10 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii init-system-helpers 1.24 ii lsb-base 9.20150917 ii lsb-release 9.20150917 ii python3 3.4.3-7 ii python3-apt 1.1.0~beta1 ii ucf 3.0031 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages unattended-upgrades recommends: ii systemd-cron [cron-daemon] 1.5.3-1 Versions of packages unattended-upgrades suggests: pn bsd-mailx <none> ii nullmailer [mail-transport-agent] 1:1.13-1 -- debconf information: unattended-upgrades/origins_pattern: "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security"; * unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates: true
