    Hi,

    (Note that it impacts unstable despite being reported against bookworm)

    There is an error in the documentation of notify-send(1), i quote:

    -A, --action=[NAME=]Text...
    Specifies the actions to display to the user. Implies --wait to wait
    for user input. May be set multiple times. The NAME of the action is
    output to stdout. If NAME is not specified, the numerical index of
    the option is used (starting with 1).

    It's not starting with 1, but 0. Run this in a terminal and click "See log":

    notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/vendor/64x64/emblems/emblem-vendor.png \
    -A "See log" -t 2000 \
    "Unattended-upgrade" "Some upgrades were applied\!"

    To check it out.

    Cheers,

    Frank.
