Public bug reported:
Version: Ubuntu 18.04 and all prior versions that include unattended-
upgrades
Buggy behavior:
I boot a laptop that has been off for a while with the intent to install linux
updates.
I type apt-get update; apt full-upgrade and it fails, finding that unattended
upgrades is running in the background for an extended period of time, but not
actually running dpkg at all, just holding the lock, preventing me from running
updates.
Expected behavior:
apt full-upgrade, the graphical update manager, and related commands
should either
1) Immediately (and silently?) abort whatever unattended-upgrades is
doing and proceed with running updates in the foreground
2) Display progress of updates currently running in the background,
waiting for them to finish, and then proceed with running additional
updates in the foreground
Note that it may be necessary to implement both behaviors, depending if
unattended-upgrades is just spinning or if it has actually started
running upgrades.
