[Bug 1332106] Re: Auto update script (/etc/cron.daily/apt) references wrong configuration file

 

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.1.4

---------------
apt (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * defaults.mak: Set LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8 for reproducible sort order
  * Avoid overflow when summing up file sizes

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * add a apt breaks (apt-utils << 1.1.3) for partial-upgrades (Closes: 806765)
  * require explicit paths to dsc/control as we do for deb files
    (Closes: 806693)
  * use @CHANGEPATH@ as placeholder in changelog URI templates
  * replace "which" with "command -v" for portability.
    Thanks to Mingye Wang for the suggestion. (Closes: 807144)
  * replace run-parts with find|sort to avoid debianutils usage
  * part revert, part redo 'which' replacement.
    Thanks to Jakub Wilk for pointing out #747320

  [ Fredrik Fornwall ]
  * apt-helper.cc: include <stdlib.h> for atoi (Closes: 807031)

Title:
  Auto update script (/etc/cron.daily/apt) references wrong
  configuration file

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In /etc/cron.daily/apt, the first few lines tell you how to configure
  automatic updates:

  # This file understands the following apt configuration variables:
  # Values here are the default.
  # Create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic file to set your preference.

  This is however completely wrong, since the correct filename
  (installed for example by the update-notifier-common package) is
  actually 10periodic! 10periodic is also the file mentioned on the Wiki
  pages on how to set up automatic updates:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates

  Please don't cause unneccessary confusion by referencing to a file
  that is at least FIVE YEARS (see
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1940284 - someone complaining
  about this weirdness in 2009) out of date.
