[Bug 1795696] Re: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade:UnboundLocalError:/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade at 1991:main:do_auto_remove

Imho this is a mild security issue. For instance, we have a number of
managed clients that rely on unattended-upgrades to install security
patches every day. This bugs prevents those daily updates to run and it
has the potential to be overlooked in automated environments like ours.

Bionic desperately needs the the patch from https://github.com/mvo5
/unattended-upgrades/commit/72cf879db2ccc21cb8f0885ce4d9cb82f70fedaf
