[Bug 2080942] [NEW] latest upgrade breaks unattended-upgrades

[Patrick von der Hagen]

Public bug reported:

The updates relating to the email module remove functionality required
by applications like unattended upgrades. It has been confirmed with
focal and jammy.

I suppose it only affects the status report sent by email and hope
unattended upgrades are still applied, but I didn't confirm this
assumption.

This has been reported to unattended-upgrades as well
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-
upgrades/+bug/2080940), but I see more of an issue with python3.10,
since I don't expect breaking changes in LTS.
