My guess is that it's a log file. I'm basing this on the fact that it's in the /var/log directory, and has a .log suffix. Apparently, the last time this log file was opened, the program who opened it had nothing to say. No news is good news, as they say.
Re: Re: how to make sure that gnome check available updates to system
Thank you Dejan. I will check these logs. Additionally I've noticed an empty file /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log What is it used for? Regards, Karol Szkudlarek

As for checking logs, you can check under these: /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log /var/log/dpkg.log With automatic updates enabled, all actions performed will end up there. Well, in /var/log/dpkg.log other actions, like manually installing packages will be recorded too, but you will be able to see performed actions. If you would like to be informed about automatic upgrades with mail, you will have to edit file: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades and find and uncomment line //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root"; Hope that this helps.
how to make sure that gnome check available updates to system
Hello, I am using GNOME and Debian 9 on my laptop and in the software-properties-gtk program I selected daily updates and display message immediately. Laptop is used dual boot mode and I would like to be sure (for security reasons) that Gnome checks automatic available updates properly. Is it some log file to verify if checking was performed and when? I would like to not to perform manual apt-get update. I have not installed cron-apt. Regards, Karol Szkudlarek
