[Bug 1737635] Re: Invalid UTF-8 characters in dpkg's log crash unattended-upgrade.

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.99ubuntu2

---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.99ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Run upgrade-between-snapshots only on amd64.
    The test exercises only unattented-upgrade's Python code and uses
    dependencies from the frozen Debian snapshot archive thus running
    it on all architectures would provide little benefit.

** Changed in: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu)
