** Description changed:

- update did not install. 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Upgrading unattended-upgrades during shutdown fails due to postinst
+ trying to start the unattended-upgrades service. This can break
+ installation of other security-fixes, too.
+ 
+  * Unattended-upgrades is regularly SRU-d and this bug can break
+ installing other important updates.
+ 
+  * The fix is not starting/stopping the init.d script in postinst which
+ is not useful during package installation anyway.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
