  File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1485, in <module>
    main(options)
  File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1420, in main
    log_content = get_dpkg_log_content(logfile_dpkg, install_start_time)
  File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1079, in get_dpkg_log_content
    for line in fp.readlines():
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
