This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 1.4ubuntu2

---------------
unattended-upgrades (1.4ubuntu2) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Redirect stderr output in upgrade-all-security and
    upgrade-between-snapshots otherwise it breaks the test (LP: #1781446)
  * Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests.
    Python-apt has a new build dependency making the rebuilding as is failing
    and the reference handling issue is worked around in unattended-upgrades
    already, install release's latest python-apt in upgrade-all-security
    instead (LP: #1781586)

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.4

---------------
unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.4) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Redirect stderr output in upgrade-between-snapshots, too, otherwise it
    breaks the test sometimes (LP: #1781446)

  [ Balint Reczey ]
  * Clear cache when autoremoval is invalid for a package set marked for
    removal and clear cache after failed commits to return from a possibly
    invalid state (LP: #1779157)
  * Don't start or gracefully stop upgrade on battery (LP: #1773033)
  * Skip updates on metered connections (Closes: #855570) (LP: #1781183)
  * Add debian/tests/upgrade-all-security to install all current security updates.
    On development releases this tests latest stable, on stable releases it tests
    the release itself.
  * Speed up unattended-upgrade (Closes: #892028, #899366) (LP: #1396787)
    - Adjust candidates only for packages to be possibly installed
    - Filter out packages cheaper when they are not from allowed origins
    - Collect autoremovable packages, too, when looking for upgradable ones
    - Measure time of running with --dry-run in autopkgtests
  * Skip starting init.d script in debhelper-generated postinst part
    (LP: #1778800)

  [ Ivan Kurnosov ]
  * Fixed is_pkgname_in_blacklist to be side-effect free. (LP: #1781176)
    Otherwise 'is_pkgname_in_blacklist' mutates the 'pkgs_kept_back' and
    'unattended-upgrades' treats the package as a blacklisted candidate

This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.2

---------------
unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Don't check blacklist too early and report updates from not allowed origins
    as kept back. (LP: #1781176)
  * test/test_blacklisted_wrong_origin.py: Fix and enable test
  * Filter out progress indicator from dpkg log (LP: #1599646)
  * Clear cache when autoremoval fails (LP: #1779157)
  * Find autoremovable kernel packages using the patterns in APT's way
    (LP: #1815494)

unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Start service after systemd-logind.service to be able to take inhibition
    lock (LP: #1806487)
  * Handle gracefully when logind is down (LP: #1806487)

unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.0) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Backport to Xenial (LP: #1702793)
  * Revert to build-depending on debhelper (>= 9~) and dh-systemd
  * Revert configuration example changes to avoid triggering a debconf question
  * debian/postinst: Update recovery to be triggered on Xenial's package versions

unattended-upgrades (1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Trigger unattended-upgrade-shutdown actions with PrepareForShutdown()
    Performing upgrades in service's ExecStop did not work when the upgrades
    involved restarting services because systemd blocked other stop/start
    actions making maintainer scripts time out and be killed leaving a broken
    system behind.
    Running unattended-upgrades.service before shutdown.target as a oneshot
    service made it run after unmounting filesystems and scheduling services
    properly on shutdown is a complex problem and adding more services to the
    mix make it even more fragile.
    The solution of monitoring PrepareForShutdown() signal from DBus
    allows Unattended Upgrade to run _before_ the jobs related to shutdown are
    queued thus package upgrades can safely restart services without
    risking causing deadlocks or breaking part of the shutdown actions.
    Also ask running unattended-upgrades to stop when shutdown starts even in
    InstallOnShutdown mode and refactor most of unattended-upgrade-shutdown to
    UnattendedUpgradesShutdown class. (LP: #1778219)
  * Increase logind's InhibitDelayMaxSec to 30s. (LP: #1778219)
    This allows more time for unattended-upgrades to shut down gracefully
    or even install a few packages in InstallOnShutdown mode, but is still a
    big step back from the 30 minutes allowed for InstallOnShutdown previously.
    Users enabling InstallOnShutdown node are advised to increase
    InhibitDelayMaxSec even further possibly to 30 minutes.
    - Add NEWS entry about increasing InhibitDelayMaxSec and InstallOnShutdown
      changes
  * Ignore "W503 line break before binary operator"
    because it will become the best practice and breaks the build
  * Stop using ActionGroups, they interfere with apt.Cache.clear()
    causing all autoremovable packages to be handled as newly autoremovable
    ones and be removed by default. Dropping ActionGroup usage does not slow
    down the most frequent case of not having anything to upgrade a...
