Bug description:
Much to my surprise, when I did a dry-run test of unattended-upgrades
my server was forcibly rebooted. I must have had the file '/var/run
/reboot-required' present.
But needless to say: a --dry-run should NOT perform a reboot of the
server with zero warning. Seriously.
Output from /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log

Version: 0.76ubuntu1
As an aside, it makes a lot of sense to me to put the reboot on a
timer, even if it's only a one minute (i.e. shutdown -r 1). That would
have at least given me a chance to prevent the reboot if I had seen
the warning. If that's a configuration setting I don't see it
anywhere.
