[Bug 1561195] Re: unattended-upgrades not work in Ubuntu 16.04

[Leopold Talirz]

Assuming that this bug is indeed fixed in Ubuntu-16.04 with unattended-
upgrades 0.90ubuntu0.9, could someone please post an origin pattern that
works?

I am not able to get unattended-upgrades to upgrade any packages, neither using the syntax suggested here https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html nor using "origin=Ubuntu,archive=${distro_codename},label=Ubuntu". 
See the relevant output (redacted) below...

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This guide've used successfully in Ubuntu 14.04 but something is not
  working in Ubuntu 16.04:

  https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html

  I detected packages that need to be updated and the log of the
  application appears:

  No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-
  removals

  It never updated one by unattended-upgrades package for weeks that I
  have daily updated manually development version.

  It is necessary that application to run on other machines I need to
  upgrade within a month with the stable version. Thank you.
