Hi there!
Yesterday I was playing with synaptic (so I installed apt, ...)
Today in the morning I received a message from fcron telling that apt has successfully upgraded my PC to the latest rawhide (Before it I kept old Xorg and Kernel to run Nvidia drivers: yum update --exclude...). IIRC yum-updatesd isn't configured to update without asking so my question is:
Is it desired for apt "CHECK_ONLY=no" in default /etc/sysconfig/apt.

Yeah. Auto updates without asking the user isn't consistent with the behaviour of the rest of the package management systems.

Should I file a bug?
Cause it's really annoying... It installs a new init script without any notice, makes it run by default and makes it update your system... without asking you. For yum at least we have seperate package yum-updatesd so even if it made autoupdates default the name makes you check for a new init script. And it can really screw the system. Today I spent an hour and ~100M traffic to bring the things back. Well traffic doesn't mean much for me (it's cool to work for an ISP) but some people may have problems with it.
