** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Unattended-upgrades fails to autoremove packages after installing
+ updates or fails to install updates due to a parallel process acquiring
+ apt or dpkg lock while u-u is running.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Set up a system with packages (> 30) to be upgraded. In case of
+ Bionic -security has a low number of updates, thus set up the system to
+ install -updates to have more packages for u-u to upgrade:
+
+ echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins::
+ "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";' >
+ /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51-updates
+
+ * Set up two shells to run commands in parallel
+ * In shell "A" run sudo apt update && sudo unattended-upgrade --dry-run
--verbose --debug
+ * After u-u started run the following command in shell "B":
+ while sleep 1; do python3 -c 'import apt; import apt_pkg;
print(apt_pkg.pkgsystem_lock())' ; done
+ * Observe the following exception repeated while running u-u and True being
printed after u-u is finished:
