[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

======================================================================
ERROR: Test that updates from the security node go in
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.0o0kua/build.B7h/src/tests/test_update_list.py", line 30, in setUp
    self.cache = MyCache(apt.progress.base.OpProgress(),
  File "/tmp/autopkgtest.0o0kua/build.B7h/src/UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py", line 70, in __init__
    apt.Cache.__init__(self, progress, rootdir)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 170, in __init__
    self.open(progress)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 232, in open
    self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress)
apt_pkg.Error: W:Unable to read /tmp/autopkgtest.0o0kua/build.B7h/src/tests/aptroot-update-list-test/etc/apt/preferences.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory), E:Regex compilation error - Invalid range end

/autopkgtest-focal/focal/amd64/u/update-
manager/20210416_180839_df210@/log.gz

Downgrading apt to version 2.0.4 causes the test to pass again.
