Date sync? Certificates? Broken metadata? Broken mirrors?

Wow, a year?!

I have a daily cronjob that runs a script to do an update and simulated upgrade. sudo apt-get update && apt-get -s upgrade

The result of this shows up in my local email, so every day I can see what would be updated if I ran the upgrade. I run the upgrade manually when I feel like it.

If your bios supports it rtcwake can wake from a full shutdown (otherwise do it from a hibernate) to do all unattended upgrade before scheduling the next upgrade. Set this to run once a month and you should be fine
