If any of the lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list refer to 'stable', you might get a surprise on your next upgrade!

Lets see how well the machines handle the trick update...

Debian has handled major release updates this way for as long as I remember. Most sane option is to always refer to the release name in your apt sources.list and switch over when it is convenient for you, but if you don't you probably only notice that you update is bigger than usual when upgrading to the new release.

You guys just saved my fucking ass. "Why does the container I built this morning barf on our bash script when the same container built last week runs fine?" "uh, is it debian-based?"

When you think it means stability, but instead you get horses

that is an ancillary issue that could have been noticed and avoided if they hadn't run unattended updates.
i mean it might not have been avoided without unattended updates, but at least they would have had the option.

@accalia Being the good law-abiding citizen, it only upgraded the packages which could be upgraded without uninstalling other packages, which meant that the system was half-upgraded (but still somehow managed to reboot) and my only way was forward, finishing the upgrade and trudging through whatever conflicts were left for me to solve. Talk about forced upgrades.
