I keep running into a weird issue where my Debian servers won't shut down ("A start job is running for Unattended Upgrades") when I enable unattended upgrades as described at [1]. It is especially weird since my Debian systems are otherwise pretty bare-bones, yet the issue occurs on several of them. The solutions listed on Stack Exchange [2] seem rather hacky.

That's particularly nasty (and an aspect of systemd that I really don't like).

I'm not sure this has been reported before / correctly:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837155 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=719597

Maybe give the maintainers a prod with a link to that thread?
