sudo LC_ALL=C aptitude why unattended-upgrades 
i   gnome                      Depends software-center                  
i A software-center            Depends python-aptdaemon (>= 0.11+bzr342)
i A python-aptdaemon           Depends python-software-properties       
i A python-software-properties Depends unattended-upgrades
