[Bug 1821376] Re: Report packages kept back by origins

[Brian Murray]

Hello Balint, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unattended-upgrades into disco-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-
upgrades/1.10ubuntu5.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Report packages kept back by origins

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Disco:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * Packages kept back are listed in the email report, but it is not
  clear from which origins they are installable. This information may
  help administrators to decide if the packages need to be manually
  upgraded.

  [Test Case]

  * test_mail.py test is updated to check if the kept back packages are
  reported per origin and this is checked at build time.

  *  For manual testing:
    1. Configure u-u to allow upgrades from the -updates pocket and send email with the upgrade report.
    2. Set up the system to have a few packages upgradable from both the -security and -updates pockets.
    3. Mark a subset of packages which are upgradable as held, marking packages from each of the pockets.
    4. Run u-u and observe the kept packages listed in the email. Each package is listed only in the allowed origin providing the highest version. (LP: #1848697 covers listing them in all origins from which the packages could be upgraded to.)

  [Regression Potential]

  * Unattended upgrades may crash while trying to perform updates or
  while trying to send the summary email. Build-time tests and
  autopkgtests include testing both functions.
