Not really a support question (at least not yet) so I posted here in the Uncategorized section.
I haven't received any system/security updates of any kind in well over a week which seems kind of unusual to me as I usually get some type of minor system update(s) every few days or so.I was wondering if this has been the same for everyone else.
My installation was an install from the 24.04 ISO so I'm on the 6.8 kernel and the two listed in grub are the two latest (I believe) 88 and 90.
A couple of months ago I noticed similar absence of updates. I have changed repository mirror, received updates and concluded that previously configured mirror has not synced itself with the source properly.
And yes, I have not seen updates a couple of weeks already.
Tried a few different mirrors over the past couple of days and nothing.
I'll just go with there are no updates as of now.
No updates here either for the last 10 days or so. Maybe they took some time off because of the holidays.
Hi, @Norm24 , @ugnvs and @ClaudioDC 
I may be wrong, but I believe the lack of (Ubuntu) software package updates is related to the following post in the "ubuntu-devel -- Ubuntu Development (developers)" mailing list, that was written and posted by Andreas Hasenack (from Canonical), on 12th December 2025:
Let me quote here that mailing list post:

SRU Freeze for End of Year 2025
Andreas Hasenack andreas.hasenack at canonical.com
Fri Dec 12 14:09:34 UTC 2025Hello,
due to having less staff available in general during the last weeks of
2025, we will place a block on SRU releases for the following duration:
- start: Wednesday 2025-12-17 inclusive (last day for releases to updates
will then be 2025-12-16 Tuesday)- end: 2026-01-06 inclusive (that's when releases to updates can happen
again)Special cases can be brought up to the SRU team member on shift next week, if needed.
There will be no regular SRU shift on the days starting 2025-12-22 until 2026-01-05 (first monday of 2026).
For people that may not know, let me add that "SRU" means "Stable Release Updates":
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/stable-release-updates/
I hope this helps
@ricmarques that would certainly make sense as to be the reason.I'll mark as solved.
This is self-promotion maybe, but we featured it in UWN
My summary in the UWN was
SRU Freeze for End of Year 2025
Andreas Hasenack alerts us that there is an SRU freeze from December 17, 2025 until January 6, 2026 due to fewer staff available over the holidays. Special cases may still be approved, but there will be no regular SRU shift from December 22 until January 5.
The results showed up as expected in lists we include, eg. https://ubuntu.com/community/uwn/ubuntu-weekly-newsletter-issue-924#p-191529-security-updates and I'm expecting the same in the current issue, but that won't be added by Bashing-om for an hour or two anyway.
Lists of updates are available for people to look at, they do include all packages for a given release so you'll only get them if you have the packages installed, but they allow you to check to see what you should have expected to see. We provide a copy of that list each week in UWN.
Addendum: As I typed this; Bashing-om was adding the latest updates & they're now there too; ie. none.. The current issue is still in review, but it'll be published in a little under 24 hours.
