[Bug 1073138] Re: Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins should be replaced by Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern

[Reuben Thomas]

There is an additional reason to use Origins-Pattern, which is that some
package repos cannot be expressed with an Allowed-Origin: in particular,
any repo which has a colon in its Origin field, for example the archive
at www.openprinting.org, which has the origin field:

\http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/\

It is impossible to escape the colon to satisfy unattended-upgrade as an
Allowed-Origin pattern, so rather than add another hack to unattended-
upgrade, it would seem better to switch to using the Origins-Pattern
setting instead.

  Upgrade::Origins-Pattern

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  According to /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade, the Allowed-Origins variable

  its replacement, Origins-Pattern.
