Bug Description
unattended-
For example we 'pin' firefox on to a specific version and if a configuration file is placed after the service is started, the pinning is ignored. In our sitation that results in a newer firefox then we want at this moment.
We run Ubuntu on 2000+ workstations and our users often start a workstation and let it run for days/weeks before rebooting and thus restarting the service unattended-upgrades again.
I did not test if changes in other apt files are ignored also.

Files in /etc/apt/ preferences. d/ are read when unattended-upgrade is run and not when u-u.service is started thus it is safe to assume that configuration changes take place without restarting u-u.service. /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 838920
On the other hand there are cases when u-u does not respect pinning like the one reported here: https:/
Are all the repositories trusted on the affected systems?
