Correct. Most got upgraded in the next run of unattended-upgrades.  This
is the latest output:

Interestingly, libpam-systemd, libsystemd0 and systemd were upgraded, but 
not mailutils, mailutils-common, python3-django or sshfs.  I wonder if
this should be like this or it will fix itself in the next upgrade.
I'll keep checking.

See above.  Thanks for replying.
