pkgsel can't find unattended-upgrades

[Adam Sommer]

Binary package hint: pkgsel

Not sure if this will apply to the landscape option, but when selecting "automatically install security updates" the unattended-upgrades packages doesn't get installed. Here's what I think are the relevant lines from /var/log/syslog:

Might be some extra lines in there, but attached is the full syslog file. Just let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks

Thanks for your report; fixed for the next server CD build. (It was already present on the alternate install CD.)
