Hi all,
I enabled unattended updates in plinth, but it isn't doing the updates.
I've run apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade before going to bed to
see if anything needs to be upgraded. Then I answer "no" about doing
the upgrades. The following morning I run apt-get dist-upgrade to see
if anything has been done. For three days in a row now, no unattended
upgrades have been done.
I've tried disabling the upgrades in plinth, rebooting, reenabling
upgrades, and rebooting again. It didn't make any difference.
I can manually trigger upgrades in plinth, but enabling automatic
upgrades doesn't work.
There are next to no logs in /var/log/unattended-upgrades despite my
having installed this back in May:

The man page is pretty minimalist. Can anyone suggest what to do to
debug this?
Thanks,
