started xenial container, and downgraded systemd to release pocket version.

check timer units, only apt-daily is present.

upgraded to apt from -updatees 1.2.24.

enabled -proposed and installed unattended-upgrades from it, 0.90ubuntu0.7

two .timer units are present: apt-daily.timer random, and apt-daily-upgrade.timer between 6am and 7am.

clearing /var/lib/apt/periodic

$ systemctl start --no-block apt-daily.service; watch -d ls /var/cache/apt/archives/

Observed that systemd debs got downloaded in /var/cache/apt/archives. Observed that unattened-upgrades.log has entreis that it did run, but does not list that it has upgraded anything.

$ tail -f /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log &
$ systemctl start --no-block apt-daily-upgrade.service

Observed that install of the packages started straight away, specially the timestamps in the -dpkg.log of the unattended upgrades.

I believe above validates that apt-daily.timer updates cache and download debs; whilst apt-daily-upgrade.timer installs the debs.

Xenial verification is complete.
