[Bug 1930153] [NEW] Unattended upgrades does not report some updates that can't be installed automatically

[Simon Arlott]

Public bug reported:

When there are packages that fail a "sanity check" they are not reported
[by email] as expected. This results in updates being ignored
indefinitely.

More details: https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/issues/223

This is fixed in version 1.18 but bionic is using version 1.1:
