While we're debating workarounds, to note: This issue affects unattended-upgrades only once, in a non-default configuration and does not break the ability to install upgrades. After the upgrade ran, the next upgrade will work correctly (as it will have imported the new email.errors due to restarting).
This may not just affect unattended-upgrades. Third-party applications may be affected if 1. they use email.message to send or generate emails, and 2. they have not send an email prior to the update, and 3. they want to send an email after the update Their failure case may be worse in that they graciously handle failure and end up not crashing, and need a manual restart to be able to send emails again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080940 Title: unattended-upgrades broken by python-upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.10/+bug/2080940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
