[Bug 1690980] Re: No pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or shutdown while installing security updates

[Brian Murray]

After a discussion with Michael Vogt I tested this with unattended-
upgrades version 0.92ubuntu1.4 from yakkety-updates and observed the
shutdown blocked temporarily (message in plymouth about updates being
installed) when I shutdown the system with unattended-upgrades running.

I was connected via ssh when running the unattended-upgrades and saw the
following:

Preparing to unpack .../18-libreoffice-style-galaxy_1%3a5.2.2-0ubuntu2.1_all.deb ...
Unpacking libreoffice-style-galaxy (1:5.2.2-0ubuntu2.1) over (1:5.2.2-0ubuntu2) ...
Connection to clean-yakkety-amd64 closed by remote host.
Connection to clean-yakkety-amd64 closed.

In plymouth I also saw the message about "libreoffice-style-galaxy".
Could you please retest and ensure you shutdown the system when packages
are being unpacked / installed?
