Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 1.11.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to run unattended-upgrades does not result in upgraded packages (neither
when done automatically nor manually)
Running it manually with "unattended-upgrades -d" ends with following lines:
Packages that will be upgraded: apt apt-utils base-files ca-certificates
distro-info-data file grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common iproute2
libapt-inst2.0 libapt-pkg5.0 libefiboot1 libefivar1 libgnutls30 libjpeg62-turbo
libldap-2.4-2 libldap-common libmagic-mgc libmagic1 libp11-kit0 libpq5
libsqlite3-0 libssl-dev libssl1.1 libsystemd0 libudev1 libxml2 libzstd1
linux-image-amd64 linux-libc-dev openssl postgresql-11 postgresql-client-11
python-apt-common python-lxml python3-apt sudo tcpdump tzdata udev unzip
Writing dpkg log to /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log
Exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dependencies'

Extracting content from

However it does not upgrade packages, and
/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log remains zero-byte
sized.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I seem to recall it working back in Stretch...
I've tried running it manually and automatically for few weeks.
I've also tried purging and reinstalling unattended-upgrades, as well as
changing
Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps to "false" and to "true" - none of that helps.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I expected unattended-upgrades to automatically upgrade packages.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Instead it dies with "Exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute
'dependencies'" without upgrading packages.
