Have you also imported the python apt module with "import apt"? Eg:
>>> import apt, apt_pkg >>> email = apt_pkg.Config.Find("Unattended-Upgrade::Mail", "") >>> print email You should notice the loading of the apt module as it prints a warning message about the API not being stable yet. If that doesn't work then you could try a full dump of the config: apt-config dump | grep -i mail -- 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
