Since docker has an dependency on containerd thats the reason why it was restarted. IMO the blacklist should also check the full tree of dependencies... This should NOT happen! From the log you find: 2020-12-01 06:40:13,881 INFO Starting unattended upgrades script 2020-12-01 06:40:13,882 INFO Allowed origins are: o=Ubuntu,a=focal, o=Ubuntu,a=focal-security, o=UbuntuESMApps,a=focal-apps-security, o=UbuntuESM,a=focal-infra-security 2020-12-01 06:40:13,882 INFO Initial blacklist: docker docker.io 2020-12-01 06:40:13,882 INFO Initial whitelist (not strict): 2020-12-01 06:40:19,139 INFO Packages that will be upgraded: containerd qemu-block-extra qemu-kvm qemu-system-common qemu-system-data qemu-system-gui qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils 2020-12-01 06:40:19,140 INFO Writing dpkg log to /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log 2020-12-01 06:40:46,996 INFO All upgrades installed 2020-12-01 06:40:50,732 INFO Starting unattended upgrades script 2020-12-01 06:40:50,732 INFO Allowed origins are: o=Ubuntu,a=focal, o=Ubuntu,a=focal-security, o=UbuntuESMApps,a=focal-apps-security, o=UbuntuESM,a=focal-infra-security 2020-12-01 06:40:50,733 INFO Initial blacklist: docker docker.io 2020-12-01 06:40:50,733 INFO Initial whitelist (not strict): Also this happened for us on plenty of our servers almost at the same (why the unattended updates are not spread over time?), which destroyed the second time an production environment. This is not how unattended-upgraded should be, sadly this package lost our trust and we disable it and schedule the 'unattended updates' now on our own. PS: Not to say that on some servers the docker daemon did not even restart..
