Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.92
Severity: grave
Dear Maintainer,
When unattended-upgrades has to upgrade apt itself, it will be
terminated and leaves the system in a state that requires manual
intervention, like
dpkg --reconfigure --pending
apt-get -f install
A second bug is that this broken state does not lead to any mails being
sent to root, and it may take a long time until it is discovered that
updates do not work.
Possibly, apt is killed because systemd is killing all processes
belonging to a service when that service is stopped/restarted and maybe
apt restarts the daily apt service.
Cheers,
Stefan
