Ubuntu 18.04 Automatic Update Fails

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 1 comments

When using the Software Updater program on a scheduled basis to do nightly upgrades, the automatic updater fails when updating versions. However, the program exits before I am able to copy the error log.

Running sudo apt-get upgrade aws-rotate-iam-keys works however.

This issue was fixed in 0.3.1. The root cause was an inability to get username that was not root when running Software Updater. So we just skipped removing the cronjob during the uninstall step, which turns out to be a better idea since your crontab is not modified now.
