In addition to the bug not being fixed, today I got a false positive on the message that a package needs a conffile prompt. The package got upgraded successfully and didn't fail due to a prompt, but also the u-u log said that it needs to be upgraded manually even though it doesn't.

I may have already fixed the the issue with the fix for LP: #1871639. Could you please monitor if the problem shows up with 2.2, too? Thanks, Balint
Bug#956339: unattended-upgrades: regression: packages with conffile prompts are no longer skipped, leading to upgrade failures
Package: unattended-upgrades Version: 2.1 Severity: serious Today I noticed that packages with conffile prompts are no longer skipped, which can lead to upgrade failures because dpkg stdin is not connected to any terminal. I think this is a regression since the work to enable pinning to work with unattended-upgrades.
