Bug description:
[Impact]
* Unattended-upgrades fails to autoremove packages after installing
updates or fails to install updates due to a parallel process
acquiring apt or dpkg lock while u-u is running.
[Test Case]
* Set up a system with packages (> 30) to be upgraded. In case of
Bionic -security has a low number of updates, thus set up the system
to install -updates to have more packages for u-u to upgrade:
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins::
"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";' >
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51-updates
* Set up two shells to run commands in parallel
* In shell "A" run sudo apt update && sudo unattended-upgrade --dry-run
--verbose --debug
* After u-u started run the following command in shell "B":
while sleep 1; do python3 -c 'import apt; import apt_pkg;
print(apt_pkg.pkgsystem_lock())' ; done
* Observe the following exception repeated while running u-u and True being
printed after u-u is finished:

[Regression Potential WIP]
* Unattended-upgrade may crash
[Other Info]
It looks like python-apt also releases the lock sometimes unexpectedly
thus the both packages need to be fixed to avoid loosing the lock.
