The change that took place in unattended-upgrades 1.8: unattended-upgrades (1.8) unstable; urgency=medium When InstallOnShutdown was configured unattended-upgrades in versions before 1.7 installed updates _after_ the shutdown transaction is started by systemd making maintainer scripts restarting services fail or wait in a deadlock until being killed by shutdown's timeout leaving a broken installation behind. Starting with version 1.7 configuring InstallOnShutdown makes unattended-upgrades start package installations _before_ the shutdown transaction is started, when PrepareForShutdown() signal is received via DBus. Unattended-upgrades 1.7 also increases logind's InhibitDelayMaxSec to 30 seconds. This allows more time for unattended-upgrades to shut down gracefully or even install a few packages in InstallOnShutdown mode, but is still a big step back from the 30 minutes allowed for InstallOnShutdown previously. Users enabling InstallOnShutdown mode are advised to increase InhibitDelayMaxSec even further, possibly to 30 minutes. -- When shutdown is successfully initiated from a graphical session the user should be logged out and if the shutdown is successfully initiated from a login manager it should stop, otherwise any inhibitor holding up the shutdown can cause the described problems.
