AFAICT from the log, you broke your system when you interrupted an
upgrade occuring on 2017-09-14 09:09:30. After unattended-upgrades
failed to upgrade tcpdump earlier that day, you tried to upgrade
libapt-inst2.0:i386 (1.4, 1.4.6~17.04.1), apt:i386 (1.4, 1.4.6~17.04.1),
tcpdump:i386 (4.9.0-2ubuntu2, 4.9.2-0ubuntu0.17.04.2), libapt-
pkg5.0:i386 (1.4, 1.4.6~17.04.1), apt-utils:i386 (1.4, 1.4.6~17.04.1),
apt-transport-https:i386 (1.4, 1.4.6~17.04.1)
but cancelled it at some point. Now you have to repair it: Run apt
install --reinstall libapt-inst2.0:i386 I guess.
