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.
