Bug description:
Test Case
---------
1) edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades so that Update-Package-Lists is 1
and Unattended-Upgrade is 1
2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/periodic
4) sudo /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade
5) observe the following Traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1468, in <module>
main(options)
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1419, in main
write_stamp_file()
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1011, in write_stamp_file
with open(os.path.join(statedir, "unattended-upgrades-stamp"), "w"):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/lib/apt/periodic/unattended-upgrades-stamp'
With the version of the package from -proposed you'll receive no such
Traceback.
Regression Potential
--------------------
This patch just ends up creating a directory if it does not exist. Potential
regressions would be a result of the patch being typo'ed e.g. typo'ing
os.path.exits instead of os.path.exists and the code failing when a statedir
does exist. So read the patch carefully!
