  {{{cron-apt}}} will notify you once a day via email about any packages that can be upgraded. It does not install these upgrades, but does download them (usually in the night), so you don't have to wait for the download when you do {{{aptitude upgrade}}}.
  ## what does it do that you can't get more easily these days with "APT::Periodic::..." lines in an /etc/apt/apt.conf.d file?
  
- Automatic installation of updates can be done easily if desired, it just needs the UnattendedUpgrades package to be installed.
+ Automatic installation of updates can be done easily if desired, it just needs the {{{unattended-upgrades}}} package to be installed and configured as described on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades||Debian Wiki page about unattended-upgrades]].
  
  {{{apt-listchanges}}} can send new changelog entries to you via email, or alternativly display them in the terminal when running {{{aptitude}}} or {{{apt-get}}}.

  New package are available for upgrades.  The critical ones are normally security fixes.  To upgrade, run 'apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade' as root in a terminal or log in via ssh to do the same.  On thin client servers, remember to also update the LTSP chroot using {{{ltsp-chroot apt-get update && ltsp-chroot apt-get upgrade}}}.
  
- If you do not want to manually upgrade packages and trust Debian to do a good job with new versions, you can install the UnattendedUpgrades package and configure it to automatically upgrade all new packages every night.  This will not upgrade the LTSP chroots.

  To upgrade the LTSP chroot, one can use {{{ltsp-chroot apt-get update && ltsp-chroot apt-get upgrade}}}.  On 64-bit servers, one will have to add {{{-a i386}}} as an argument to ltsp-chroot.  It is a good idea to update the chroot when updating the host system.
