[Bug 1056104] Re: Sends mail when MailOnlyOnError=true and all upgradeable packages are blacklisted

[Sean]

Is this ever going to be fixed? This issue is still present in
0.82.1ubuntu2.3, which was just installed, overriding the patch that I
had previously applied... Extremely annoying...

Title:
  Sends mail when MailOnlyOnError=true and all upgradeable packages are
  blacklisted

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have specified an email-address and MailOnlyOnError=true in
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. I have also a couple of
  packages blacklisted. However when unattended-upgrades are run (and
  the only packages eligible for upgrades are blacklisted) I still get
  an email (see below). I do not consider this situation as an error
  that warrants an email.  Apticron will be used to notify that there
  are packages available for upgrades and that are not handled by
  unattended-upgrades.

  I haven't yet been in the situation where there are both upgradeable
  packages and blacklisted packages, so I'm not sure if I will receive
  an email in that case.

  Email:

  Unattended upgrade returned: None
