[Impact] Package installation turns into an inconsistent state if system is rebooted in the middle of an apt install/upgrade. [Test Case] 1. User1 at Ubuntu box issues "sudo apt-get upgrade"; 2. User2 at Ubuntu box issues "shutdown -r" or reboots it using the GUI; 3. System reboots and potentially turns into an inconsistent state. [Remarks] APT should automatically inhibit system halts/reboots while packages being installed/removed. A similar behavior to what is shown by unattended-upgrades.
