Bug Description
A series of issues about update-manager and unattended-upgrade. I have set the system to:
- automatically check for update daily
- when there are security updates, download and install them automatically
- when there are other updates, display them immediately.
What occurs:
(1) unattended-upgrade runs on boot but systematically its log states every day that: "No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-removals" even where there are security updates to install.
(2) update-manager appears not to refresh the cache automatically after boot.
(3) when the cache is manually refreshed so there are updates, update-manager runs after a subsequent boot and appears in the panel. However clicking on it leads it to simply disappear.
(4) update-manager will not launch from the menu. When launched from a terminal it runs correctly, refreshes the cache and will install updates.
No crash reports, nothing obvious in log files.
Ubuntu-MATE 16.10 clean install, fully updated.
