Jarno Suni,

This bug report ran it's course, and 'Fix Released' is another way of
saying 'Closed.' You can discuss it, but no developer is likely to read
it...to them, it's a closed issue. It's fixed, and won't be unfixed.
The patch is released, and won't be reverted. The normal workflow is to
file a new bug, not to reopen or discuss a closed bug.

Bug 1357093 is 'Fix Released' because I duplicated the original
reporter's problems, triaged the bug, and forwarded enough information
to a developer who agreed with my triage and decided to fix it. Upon
testing the fix (repeatedly), my duplication of the original reporter's
problem is really fixed.

If you have a triage-able problem with the unattended-upgrades package,
please open a new bug report and provide enough information so I can
triage it. I cannot generally triage a problem that I cannot duplicate.

If all you know is 'it should work but does not work', then please jump
into a support forum (like Ubuntuforums) and let the experts there help
you figure out how to duplicate or triage it. Similar symptoms may come
from very different causes. Having an unresolved problem is really,
really frustrating. Been there.

I'm quite happy to discuss kernel header dependencies and go into much
greater detail...but doing so in this bug report would be rather
counterproductive. The issue is closed, and most of the questions seem
unrelated to the original bug.
