System upgrades can't be disabled.

Since updating Pop-OS to 22.04, I can't deactivate system updater anymore, which regularly messes up my system. I set auto-updates in gnome-control-center to off; here's the content of ~/.config/pop-system-updater/config.ron:
(enabled:false,notification_frequency:Weekly).

Despite that, the service still runs (very aggressive) apt-get -y --allow-downgrades full-upgrade and apt-get autoremove -y commands.

I just disabled the com.system76.SystemUpdater.service unit in systemd -- I hope that is good enough.

~/.config/pop-system-updater/config.ron does not contain configuration for installing updates, that is only the configuration for notifications. The config for installing updates is at /etc/pop-system-updater/config.ron.

Can you please post the output of that global configuration file, along with apt policy pop-system-updater to confirm the version of it you have installed? This issue sounds like a duplicate of #11 and it was fixed with #13 just yesterday (we'll obviously want to investigate further if there's another case of it happening now.)

Notifications being disabled also suggests auto-updates are enabled (those two settings are always the opposite of each other with the way things work right now), so if you could provide a screenshot of your specific settings in the GUI, that might also help us replicate the issue.

Oh I didn't see that it was probably just fixed -- sorry about that.

The file /etc/pop-system-updater/config.ron contains
(auto_update:false,schedule:Some((interval:128,hour:22,minute:0)))(base).

Here's the screenshot:

The version of pop-system-updater I'm running is 0.1.0~1651522263~22.04~6870527. The auto-update to the new version failed due to dependencies I'll have to fix -- I'll upgrade to it, and I'll complain again if it's not working yet 😄

I'll upgrade to it, and I'll complain again if it's not working yet

Sounds good! Please let us know if it's still happening on the current version of system-updater, or close the issue if it's no longer happening. (It sounds like you know what's causing the dependency issue, but let us know if that's a Pop!_OS issue as well.)
