Maybe you can run the script with a "--debug" flag ("unattended-upgrades
--debug") to get additional information :-?

Yes, excellent idea; thanks very much:

Hmm, well, I can't pretend to understand this; but doing
apt-get install phpmyadmin upgraded the package.

A bit worrying, though, I rather hoped the security upgrades would be
performed automatically.

Well, my wild-guess (never used this package before) is that this
concrete update requires some "user-intervention" (maybe because it asks
you some questions about what to do with the configuration files
-replace/update- or something like that... dunno :-?), so in this case,
the update cannot be done automatically.

Thanks for replying, Cameleon, but as I said, apt-get install just did
it effortlessly. No interaction required.

I suspect it's a bug, but I don't know enough to report it...

No prompts asking you about when using "apt-get upgrade"? Weird, because
that was what the log said and the package gets blacklisted because of
that :-?

You can open a bug report for the involved package ("unattended-
upgrades"), instructions are here:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.en.html

(...)

Look, there was a similar bug for the Ubuntu package:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/336558

Whose debian change log¹ says it was solved in... "unattended-upgrades
(0.55ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low" and lenny has... 0.25! Oh, well...

Hi folks,

I just wanna say that I experienced the same behaviour but as it was my desktop I quickly said:'I really want those installed' and then it worked without user interaction, exactly as described right here. Please post a link to the filed bug report.

I cannot open a bug report because I don' have the program installed,
it's you (the ones experiencing the problem) who should do it >:-)

If my findings are correct, the problem is in the script itself and the
package should be updated... but being for lenny (stable), I'm not sure
if that is possible.
