Title:
unattended upgrades always fail b/c dpkg status database is always
locked
Thanks for the info. I seem to have missed that.
Any idea what else might be running? Or a workaround/fix?

the timers only run on battery:
$ grep ACPower /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily*
/lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.service:ConditionACPower=true
