Hi Eric, The downgrade operation you saw is just because I've used the same server to give you the logs and to test the step-by-step instructions before writing them on this bug report.
I can confirm that the issue can be reproduced any time starting from the 2 versions (Xenial : 4.4.0-135.161, Bionic : 4.15.0-34.37), hundreds of our servers were impacted (and therefore we have stopped automatic upgrades on our Production servers). I can also confirm that if i test an unattended-upgrade during shutdown on Bionic from 4.15.0-33.36, the package will be upgraded to version 4.15.0-36.39 without any problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796376 Title: Bug #1739107 fix causes linux-cloud-tools-common not to be upgradable with unattended-upgrades on shutdown mode Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since the following linux-cloud-tools-common package versions : Xenial : 4.4.0-135.161 Bionic : 4.15.0-34.37 the Systemd service unit file for hv-kvp-daemon has been modified with new dependencies that make the package unable to be upgraded with unattended-upgrades on shutdown mode. Unattended-upgrades hangs with the linux-cloud-tools-common package during "Preparing to unpack". The server restarts after the unattended-upgrades service timeout expires. - Package state after reboot : iFR linux-cloud-tools-common 4.15.0-34.37 all Linux kernel version specific cloud tools for version 4.15.0 - Unattended-upgrades dpkg logs : Log started: 2018-10-05 17:59:04 (Reading database ... 52043 files and directories currently installed.)
