FWIW, Steve Kemp (through his blog) mentioned this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783683 Basically cron is stopped during upgrade, and systemd by default kills the whole process group (which includes unattended-upgrades->apt->dpkg). This has been fixed in 8.2, but I guess the updated systemd unit gets reloaded too late. Best Regards, Bernhard
