Public bug reported:

A recent update to unattended-upgrades causes messages to be displayed
at login similar to this: "1 updates could not be installed
automatically. For more details,see /var/log/unattended-upgrades
/unattended-upgrades.log"

However, when the user has pinned/held a package, this is expected
behavior, and should not cause a warning or error. Additionally, in this
case, the the logfile that the user is directed to reference contains no
useful information.

Either the message should not be issued for pinned packages (preferred)
or the logfile that the user is directed to reference should contain
useful information.
