[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about this weirdness in 2009) out of date.
