[Bug 1825812] Re: Daily apt update timer downloads all dist-upgradable packages

[Julian Andres Klode]

Hmm well it was not what I intended, otherwise I'd not have bothered
with the u-u option. But um, worth weighing the options.

Title:
  Daily apt update timer downloads all dist-upgradable packages

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  apt-daily.service accidentally runs apt-get -d dist-upgrade after the first time it runs unattended-upgrades -d due to the latter reusing the stamp of the former.

  This means that machines download all packages that can be dist-
  upgraded rather than just the security updates unattended-upgrades
  will install; which means they might be wasting bandwidth.
