[Bug 1024599] Re: apt_check.py crashed with SyntaxError in unknown(): invalid syntax

[Brian Murray]

Thanks for the patch, however we've reverted the python 3 conversion of
update-notifier as python-debian which update-notifier-common depends
hasn't been converted.  When we do convert update-notifier to python3
we'll ensure we fix the Except syntax.

 Thanks again!
