[Bug 1544942] Re: Marks unneeded packages as manually installed, if --dry-run is used

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.93.1ubuntu1

---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.93.1ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * When performing a sanity check for packages to install or upgrade return
    false when either there are no packages in the cache or the package to
    upgrade is not in the change set. (LP: #1654070)
  * Do not mark packages for deletion / autoremoval if unattended-upgrades is
    being run in dry-run mode. (LP: #1544942)

  [ Louis Bouchard ]
  * Store delay command line option as an int not a string since we do maths
    with it.
