No automatic updates

Some additional info. I manually upgraded today and then ran unattended-upgrades in debug mode. It complains that it could not figure out the development release.

Thanks for reporting, some issues has been fixed, please install the latest distro-info-data and unattended-upgrades when available, and try again.

My automatic updates are apparently still not working. Packages are not updating and I am receiving no update notifications.

I ran the following this morning:

Additional info-- Var log from yesterday and this morning.

The upgrade script is running but did not upgrade several packages including Icedove and abrowser. Also I received no notification of the available upgrades.

Automatic updates IIRC are set for nabia-security/main repository by default, abrowser/icedove updates comes from the nabia-updates/main repository.

As it's targeted for "safe" updates that won't change the behavior with new features, mostly what you want on a server update.

On a related subject, there is a recent update for update-manager that was not showing notifications accordingly, please manually install it so the issue gets fixed, and following updates will be notified as they should.

This can be easily done on a terminal,

Ctrl + Alt + T
sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade

Done!

ARk74 - many thanks for your help. I just ran sudo apt upgrade and my system is fully up to date.

I now have numerous new entries in Software & Updates, Other software. Only one item is checked and there are several duplicate entries. There is also an obsolete entry for the 8.0 CD which has been there for a long time.

Which items should be checked?

Thanks!
