This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.93.1ubuntu1
---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.93.1ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium
[ Brian Murray ]
* When performing a sanity check for packages to install or upgrade return
false when either there are no packages in the cache or the package to
upgrade is not in the change set. (LP: #1654070)
* Do not mark packages for deletion / autoremoval if unattended-upgrades is
being run in dry-run mode. (LP: #1544942)
[ Louis Bouchard ]
* Store delay command line option as an int not a string since we do maths
with it.
