Description Christina Scheinig

A customer has automatic updates installed. Unfortunately a regression hit them, but nothing was logged to updater.log.
Reproducing this issue the normal update way the logfile shows meaningful logmessages, which would have helped during debugging

======================
updater.log:
libnss-winbind:amd64 (2:4.18.3-1A~5.0.0.202311271227) wird eingerichtet ...
First installation detected, adding winbind to /etc/nsswitch.conf...
======================

Look in /var/log/apt/history.log and /var/log/apt/term.log; that's a feature of APT itself.

I checked /var/log/apt/history.log and /var/log/dpkg.log and there was nothing like this
libnss-winbind:amd64 (2:4.18.3-1A~5.0.0.202311271227) wird eingerichtet ...
First installation detected, adding winbind to /etc/nsswitch.conf...
mentioned.
I have not checked term.log, because it was never helpful for me before!
