I'm not an expert on the unattended-upgrades package or the Python apt module, so some of this could be wrong.
How have you defined the mail variable in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ files? It is like this? Unattended-Upgrade::Mail { "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; }; If so then I think this problem is that syntax defines a list, which is supposed to be read by the apt_pkg.Config.FindValueList function, eg: apt_pkg.Config.FindValueList("Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins") The unattended-upgrades python code expects the Unattended-Upgrade::Mail variable to be a single value and not a list, so I think it should look like this: Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; Using the second form produces the correct values, but I've not yet tested that it will send any email. Would you be able to try again using that style and let me know if it works or not? -- does not send mail despite Unattended-Upgrade::Mail set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
