# dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades not disabling unattended-upgrades?

[jdrch]

Just wondering if more is needed to disable unattended-upgrades than the command above, which is found in the project's README.md.

Asking because I ran that command on a Debian 12.2 machine that, to my knowledge, had not yet updated to 12.4. However I discovered later just before re-enabling unattended-upgrades that the machine had already updated itself to 12.4.

I'm trying to figure out whether I missed something in the disable process or not. FWIW, I do have a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades file, but I didn't change it anyway as the README says the single command above should do the trick.

Ideas?
