Title:
  Stuck on applying package profile for servers running 18.04

Status in landscape-client package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I apply a package profile to a server, the activity is stuck on
  'in progress'. It only happens for servers running on 18.04 LTS. It
  works for servers running on 14.04 LTS.

  I can verify that this is not a connection issue by:
  * Manually installing the packages contained in the package profile
  * Installing the package profile directly using apt-get.

  The landscape server is hosted on-premise using version 18.01.
  The 18.04 server is running:
    * The latest version of landscape-client, 18.01-0ubuntu3.3.
    * Ubuntu Server 18.04.02 LTS using 4.15.x kernel.
    * Python version: 3.6.7
