I just tried to reproduce this without success, I added a regression
test that calls conffile_prompt() on a xz compressed test deb.
Could you please check if you have xz-utils installed and what output
# apt-config dump|grep Compressor::xz
is giving (if any)?
When I uninstall xz-utils I see a similar error message in my test. So
it might simply be a missing dependency in unattended-upgrades on
"xz-utils" (or adding it in python-apt/apt directly). But double
checking/confirming would be great.
Cheers,
Michael
