Title:
  python3 exception: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
  'strip'

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Each time unattended-upgrades is run on my system, the following
  python exception occurs:

  # unattended-upgrades 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrades", line 1077, in <module>
      main(options)
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrades", line 906, in main
      if dpkg_conffile_prompt():
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrades", line 546, in dpkg_conffile_prompt
      for option in map(string.strip, options):
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'strip'

  I'm flagging this as a security issue because it may prevent security
  upgrades from being installed.
