unattended-upgrades package

package from one repository won't update

Asked by Frank W

Hi all,

I have a source (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/xUbuntu_17.04/Release) working fine in apt, but for some reason will not install updates through unattended updates despite there being an update available. Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried contacting the source maintainer?

I have also done that.

However, I'm confused as to why this repo works fine with apt from the command line, but not using unattended updates.

From my limited python knowledge, this particular package seems to fail for some reason within calculate_upgradable_pkgs. pkg.is_upgradable is true, hence the debug line output (line 984 of unattended-upgrade), but after that nothing.

def calculate_upgradable_pkgs(cache, options, allowed_origins,
                              blacklisted_pkgs, whitelisted_pkgs):
    pkgs_to_upgrade = []
    pkgs_kept_back = []

    # now do the actual upgrade
    for pkg in cache:
        if options.debug and pkg.is_upgradable:
            logging.debug("Checking: %s (%s)" % (
                pkg.name, getattr(pkg.candidate, "origins", [])))
        if (pkg.is_upgradable and
              not is_pkgname_in_blacklist(pkg.name, blacklisted_pkgs) and
              is_pkgname_in_whitelist(pkg.name, whitelisted_pkgs) and
              is_allowed_origin(pkg.candidate, allowed_origins)):
            try_to_upgrade(pkg,
                           pkgs_to_upgrade,
                           pkgs_kept_back,
                           cache,
                           allowed_origins,
                           blacklisted_pkgs,
                           whitelisted_pkgs)
    return pkgs_to_upgrade, pkgs_kept_back
