Hey Balint, I think that the real issue is that the MOTD does not provide usefull instructions. It suggests looking at /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log (which doesn't tell us anything useful) instead of telling us to look at /var/lib/unattended-upgrades/kept-back (which would tell us what we need to know).
