[Bug 1649709] Re: unatttended-upgrades 0.92ubuntu3 installs all updates but update-manager is set to only install security automatically on development release

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Stable releases have frozen release suite (e.g. "xenial") and all
package changes land in pocket suites - "xenial-updates", "xenial-
security".

During development of a series, the pocket suites are not in use, and
the release suite e.g. "artful" today is the one where all the changes
land.

Not upgrading people in devel suite, creates a limbo state where people
are stuck on a snapshot of a devel release which is not supported at
all. And get a massive dist-upgrade on release date, when it's no longer
a dev-series. Also, how would one get the update to unmark oneself to no
longer be a dev-series, if u-a is not doing anything?

I think we need to revert this change, and mark it as won't fix. There
is no security support for devel series, and pretending that we install
security only updates on devel series is silly.

Title:
  unatttended-upgrades 0.92ubuntu3 installs all updates but update-
  manager is set to only install security automatically on development
  release

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I opened my Zesty virtual machine in VirtualBox to manually install
  updates.

  I was surprised to see that unattended-upgrades was running and
  installed all the updates for me.

  update-manager is set to the default settings:
  - Download and install security updates automatically
  - Display other updates weekly

  I assume this is a regression caused by the fix for bug 1624641.

  Allowed origins are: ['o=Ubuntu,a=zesty', 'o=Ubuntu,a=zesty-security']

  And obviously zesty-security isn't open yet.
