[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Konstantin, I understand that it's frustrating to have a bug report
neglected for years. But if another open-source OS is quicker on average
at resolving bug reports it receives, it's most likely because it
receives an order of magnitude fewer bug reports.

The purpose of a bug tracker is to help developers make best use of
their time. In general, it's better to spend time on fixing bugs that
are known to exist in a current version, than on trying to reproduce
bugs reported in an old version. A massive amount has changed in Update
Manager since Ubuntu 10.04 (even its name), so it's quite likely that
this bug no longer exists.

If anyone can reproduce the bug in a current version (14.04 or 15.04),
please reopen the report.

Title:
  security updates not installed daily as configured

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I have Update Manager set to "check for updates Daily" and "install
  security updates without confirmation". Currently, I am not receiving
  any notification of updates, even though when I start the Update
  Manager manually, I can see that there are many updates each day.

  Steps to reproduce:
  ------------
  1. Install Ubuntu 10.04.
  2. Log in to the new Ubuntu installation for the first time.
  3. In "Software Sources" > "Updates", choose "Check for updates: Daily" and "Install security updates without confirmation".
  4. Set the system clock forward one day.
  5. Wait for ten minutes.

  What should happen: Update Manager opens, displaying only non-security updates.
  ------------
  What actually happens: Nothing. Upon opening update-manager manually, one can see that there are indeed updates available (including Security Updates).

  This was tested using a fresh installation of Ubuntu on Virtualbox.
