[Bug 542545] Re: Unattended-Upgrade::Mail should be in a separate file

[Balint Reczey]

Starting with 1.4 unattended-upgrades recommends overriding default
configuration values in separate files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/.

>From README.md:
...
To override the configuration it is recommended to create an other APT configuration file fragment which overrides the shipped default value because updates to to shipped configuration file may conflict with the local changes blocking updating unattended-upgrades itself. The new file should sort later than 50unattended-upgrades to be parsed later than the one shipping the default values, it can be e.g. 52unattended-upgrades-local.

Title:
  Unattended-Upgrade::Mail should be in a separate file

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades

  This is a whishlist item that would simplify the release upgrade
  process a bit.

  If I have modified the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
  to specify my email address under Unattended-Upgrade::Mail on each
  release upgrade I will be prompted to know if I want to use my old
  file or the one provided by the maintainer.

  Since this file also contains Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins
  which is release specific, it is not a good idea to reply no to this
  question, but this means that I'll need to go put back my email into
  it later on.

  A possible way around that would be to separate user modifiable
  settings from the release specific settings in this file.
