I believe it gets used for the unattended-upgrades system to manage security updates. Not sure if that's the best way to do it but I believe it's using packagekit to do the actual work.
- fulafel 5y agoThat was my guess also at first but seems this is not the case, it just runs as root and calls apt directly. There's no dependency to packagekit, and it only uses dbus in the unattended-upgrade-shutdown script for some shutdown event monitoring business from systemd.
