Reply-to: Yvan <yvan@masson-informatique.fr>, 1033603@bugs.debian.org
Package: apt
Version: 2.6.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: yvan@masson-informatique.fr

Dear Maintainers,

On a Debian bookworm system, I have the following configuration file for
unattended-upgrades:

Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern {
        "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename},label=Debian-Security";
        "origin=Debian,codename=${distro_codename}-security,label=Debian-Security";
}
Unattended-Upgrade::InstallOnShutdown "true";

Also, the setting `APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade` is not defined in apt
(see apt-config dump below).

According to `/usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README.md.gz` and to default
values in `/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily`, unattended-upgrades should not run.
However, unattended-upgrades runs on every shutdown on my system, so I believe
there is either a bug or an error in the documentation.

Regards,
Yvan
