@juliank Well, I have to agree in this particular case. If the package
archive was available u-u could try to fix it by even calling dpkg to
reinstall it, but the archive was not available.
At least u-u logs this error and includes it in the email now and only
after that it raises it again for apport to get it reported.
The error has also been reported with piper broken, maybe there was an
issue running the maintainer scripts which calls py3compile:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_python3:
if which py3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
py3compile -p piper
fi
if which pypy3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
pypy3compile -p piper || true
fi
# End automatically added section

Bug description:
Unattended-upgrades 2.1 triggers the following crash in python-apt:
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1706, in try_to_upgrade
cache.mark_upgrade_adjusted(pkg, from_user=not pkg.is_auto_installed)
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 438, in mark_upgrade_adjusted
self.call_adjusted(apt.package.Package.mark_upgrade, pkg, **kwargs)
File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 397, in call_adjusted
self.clear()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 700, in clear
self._depcache.init()
apt_pkg.Error: E:The package intellij-idea-ultimate needs to be reinstalled,
but I can't find an archive for it.
I think .clear() should not raise an error, but if it should u-u can
catch that.
