[Bug 438025] [NEW] Auto Update Check doesn't work after Upgrading to 9.04

[Thomas Winteler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-notifier-kde

Hello

My System:
lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04

apt-cache policy update-notifier-kde
update-notifier-kde:
  Installed: 0.19
  Candidate: 0.19
  Version table:
 *** 0.19 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Earlier i have successfully upgraded my Kubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04.. no
Problems, just the daily automatically update checks doesn't work. So i
need to do that manually with sudo apt-get update. After the manually
update check step, the update-notifier-kde icon appears on tray, i can
click on it  and upgrade my system.

I also can run manual update check over KPackageKit..

I searched, asked around and found that (german): http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/nach-update-auf-kubuntu-8.10:-automatische-up/?highlight=ausfuhrungsrecht#post-1739269
This german description means, that the same Problem was on upgrading to 8.10.. so i tried that steps..

The Package update-notifier-kde was installed on my System..

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades:

// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
        "Ubuntu jaunty-security";
//      "Ubuntu jaunty-updates";
};

// List of packages to not update
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
//      "vim";
//      "libc6";
//      "libc6-dev";
//      "libc6-i686";
};

// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades
// If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you
// have a working mail setup on your system. The package 'mailx'
// must be installed or anything that provides /usr/bin/mail.
//Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root at localhost";


Then i saw that i (and root) have no execute permission on /etc/cron.daily/apt

ls -l /etc/cron.daily/apt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8686 2009-04-17 06:27 /etc/cron.daily/apt

All other scripts in /etc/cron.daily/ has rwxr-xr-x.. so i run:
sudo chmod aou+x /etc/cron.daily/apt


I think my problem is solved... i will come back later to confirm it.. or send more information.
