Closes: #2512. - Newer versions of packages such as tzdata are uploaded to bookworm-updates (first?). However, unattended-upgrades is not configured to get package updates from bookworm-updates even though it is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list. So, manually installation will work but not unattended-upgrades. Fix this by explicitly allowing bookworm-updates in FreedomBox configuration modifications for unattended-upgrades. Tests: - Start a bookworm VM. tzdata package is at version 2025a-0+deb12u1. Latest version available in bookworm-updates is 2025b-0+deb12u1. Running 'unattended-upgrades -d' on command line does not upgrade the package with that patches. - Apply patches, run 'sudo make build install' and rerun unattended-upgrades. tzdata package upgrades to latest version.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
