Public bug reported:
ever since the daily unattended upgrade is run via systemd timers it
does no longer recover from interrupted dpkg runs
in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily, before the actual unattended-upgrade script
is called, there is a call to
apt-get check
which ends the daily update run with an error in this case. The log says
error encountered in cron job with "apt-get check".
Before the switch to systemd timers, when a dpkg run was interrupted
(requiring execution of dpkg --configure -a), the unattended upgrade
script would recover from this (unless Unattended-
Upgrade::AutoFixInterruptedDpkg was set to "false"). So this is a
regression.
