I built a new version of unattended-upgrades with Balint's patch and tested it on an Ubuntu 16.04 system. I used the attached modified version of the reboot script provided by Ethan and saw the following in the terminal which I had run "sudo unattended-upgrade --debug --verbose":
Preparing to unpack .../libc6-dev_2.23-0ubuntu9_amd64.deb ... Unpacking libc6-dev:amd64 (2.23-0ubuntu9) over (2.23-0ubuntu3) ... Connection to clean-xenial-amd64.local closed by remote host. Connection to clean-xenial-amd64.local closed. The system ended up in a state where I had to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and then 'sudo apt-get -f install'. ** Attachment added: "script to reboot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1690980/+attachment/4912389/+files/u-u-reboot.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unattended-upgrades in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690980 Title: unattended-upgrades does not block shutdown of system, as it is designed to Status in OEM Priority Project: Triaged Status in OEM Priority Project xenial series: New Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Title: No pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or shutdown while installing security updates Summary: No pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or shutdown while installing security updates Steps: 1. trigger unattended-upgrades 2. reboot or shutdown system while installing packages Expected results: There is a pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or shutdown Actual results: There is no pop-up window to warn users Additional information: $ apt-cache policy unattended-upgrades unattended-upgrades: Installed: 0.90 Candidate: 0.90ubuntu0.5 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1690980/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
