Generally, I dislike it when lots of things change at the same time,
so rather than going through my upgradable packages periodically and
updating the lot of them, I run a cron job that, once a day, upgrades
a package chosen at random from the list of upgradable packages. I
got to thinking it might be bad to update some parts of a package and
not others, so I want to upgrade those at the top of their tree of
dependencies.
I agree, upgrading some packages but not other related packages is a
bad idea.
May I suggest you look at the unattended-upgrades package? It will do a
lot of what you want once a day.
Yes, it looks to do basically what I want. I have installed it, so now
I have to figure out how to use it. Thanks.
