[Bug 1941758] [NEW] No sync between upgrade and restart -> incomplete installation

[Paul Janssen]

Public bug reported:

I have had at least two occasions where I suspect that a lack of time between the updater reporting it is ready and me pressing the restart button resulted in a broken installation.
The updater did no complain about installation errors, nor did the /var/log/apt contain errors.
The machine would not start up properly complaining about missing files.

I think that a missing "sync" command before actually rebooting the machine is the issue here.
I think that the update-manager should do this because not everyone is aware of this.
