Bug description:
[Impact]
* Unattended-upgrades-shutdown service fails to start printing a crash
* The fix would not warrant an SRU itself but it is part of the full
backport SRU tracked in LP: #1702793.
[Test Case]
* Buggy version:
root@x2:~# echo extra-junk >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
root@x2:~# /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown", line
119, in <module>
apt_pkg.init_config()
SystemError: E:Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades:67:
Extra junk at end of file
root@x2:~#
* Fixed version:
# /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown ; echo $?
1
root@bb-lp-1806076:~# tail
/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log
2018-11-30 18:05:56,515 ERROR - Apt returned an error, exiting
2018-11-30 18:05:56,515 ERROR - error message: 'E:Syntax error

[Regression Potential]
* U-u-s used to exit crashing, now it exits with an error code, just logging
the error. There is little chance for regressing here, but users may have
harder time to figure out why u-u-s exited, they need to check the log file.
* There is also an enhancement request tracked to start u-u-s with a default
config when parsing the config fails to be able to act on shutdown:
