If you have unattended-upgrades package installed and it is configured

that jazz.
How do I go about upgrading then? I don't know of how to do it any other way
than via apt-get. Also I don't want to have it email me anything. I usually
go to the command line, do a series of commands and upgrade the system. I
would like to continue to do things that way. I do this once a week (usually
Thurs. but now I'm switching to Fridays).
Well, as you could see from your log, unattended-upgrades did it job and
upgraded security packages. If you want to keep those auto
updates/upgrades for security packages ( not that you will get much more
updates than those now that stretch is stable ), you do not have to do
anything. Security updates will be done automatically.
I saw another security update and went and checked to see what version I
had installed. It looks like it did in fact automatically install the
update.
While it might be hard to get used to at first, I think I'll leave it
as-is since this would ensure that my system is automatically up to date
on security issues.
Maybe it's a good thing after all and time for me to make a little
change in my routine? :)
Would this affect other updates (ie. bug-fix) of packages or is this
only for the security repo? Should I still do the apt-get routine weekly
just in case? I would surmise that we probably won't get any 'normal'
but fix updates for a long time since Stretch was just released?
