Apologies, I should have been more precise. Please use that command next time you need to run an apt update and when you get a run where you should have had PDiffs but did not get any, then submit the log file for that run. The log file provided is for a "no-changes" run. Accordingly, I cannot tell if it skipped PDiffs or not because it concluded there was no need for an update at all. >> Please attach the file rather than copy-paste in the output from it. > > Sure!
