Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades
When asked to send an email report the unattended-upgrade python script
uses the 'mail' command without checking that it is present. There is
also no dependency on the mailx package, so it will not be installed
automatically.
Below is a patch I've written that uses python's own smtplib module to
send the email as well as adding a few extra bits of debugging output:
