I believe this is the default.  It caught me too, and I didn't configure it manually.

many thanks for the replies.

using the up2date-config I was able to see that somehow I was excluding kernel updates. Strange -- that couldn't have been something I did;-)

And I also learned a great deal from the other posts related to additional switches for up2date.

Thanks all.

btw, can anyone tell me why I wouldn't want to enable rollbacks? This seems an cheep insurance policy especially when disk space is plentifull.
