[Bug 1773033] Re: unattended upgrade no longer actions on shutdown

[Anthony G]

I have confirmed the behavior on my 18.04 laptop. Yes, it was being 
started on battery and the service status matches your post. When 
started on power, the unattended-upgrades install on shutdown, although 
the screen is blank during the action.

I have confirmed that my 16.04 laptop does not behave in the same 
manner, regardless of being started on or off battery. In either case, 
the service is started and the updates are installed on shutdown - with 
screen status updates. The 16.04 machine is running unattended-upgrades 
0.90ubuntu0.9 = which confirms the changes you mentioned.

Thank you for the information!

Title:
  unattended upgrade no longer actions on shutdown

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04 do not install updates with InstallOnShutdown
  flag set.

  post-install script on 14.04 and 16.04 would set options in
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades and
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic to install updates on shutdown of
  ubuntu desktop. This worked on 17.10 also, until an update before the
  release of 18.04. After a fresh install of 18.04, ran the post install
  script. Below is the contents of the two files, updates do not run,
  even if performing an apt update and leaving the machine up for a few
  hours to download packages in the back ground. Both the unattended-
  upgrades and unattended-upgrades-shutdown log files are empty.

  Release:	18.04
