[Test Case] * Install kernel-related packages, mark them as automatically installed to make them auto-removable ones. * Downgrade a few packages to a version lower than what is present in the security pocket. * Set Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps to "false": # echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps "false";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-oneshot * Run u-u: # unattended-upgrade --verbose --debug * Observe fixed versions removing the kernel packages properly and also upgrading packages. [Regression Potential] * The changes introduce marking packages to install/upgrade and clearing the cache more often. The added operations slow down u-u, but clearing the cache adds a few 100 milliseconds on typical hardware and marking upgradable packages is also in the same range. * Functional regressions are unlikely due to those changes since the fixes are present in 19.04 and later releases and the extensive autopkgtest also covers when upgrades are performed in minimal steps. [Other Info] * While this bug has a security impact by holding back installation of security updates I don't recommend releasing the fix via the security pocket because this bug occurs only when the local configuration file of u-u is changed and u-u does not hold back upgrades with UCF-managed config file conflicts.
