I think the “ignoring file…” bit is a red herring and not at all related to the problem. `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades` is a regular Ubuntu file. It does not regularly have `.wcf-dist` tacked on the end. That probably means the file was modified, and the distribution version was saved with a “disarmed” filename.

Your packages are up to date and your git files are up to date. The lack of the `docker0` device is mildly alarming. If it were my box, I’d probably reboot and try the launcher again.

But that’s me with a long history of Unix, and not so long a history of using Discourse.
