Dear Maintainer, I need to enable automatic upgrades only for few selected packages on some servers. As documented Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Whitelist do this, I tried but didn't worked. From a search I found an issue open on upstream where whitelist is not working as documented: https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/issues/293 I tried the workaround mentioned of also blacklist all: Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { ".*" }; But didn't worked, mark a blacklisted also the one in whitelist. I did some other tests and search but I'm unable to found a workaround working.
Tried also on Debian 11 with unattended-upgrades 2.8, and have the same issue. Tried also on Debian 10 with unattended-upgrades 1.11.2, whitelist is correctly working and without needs of blacklist all (which is perhaps necessary in intermediate versions)
