This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.98ubuntu1

---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.98ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

unattended-upgrades (0.98) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Rename test to test_non_minimal_steps_upgrade to reflect content
  * Catch SystemError while keeping apt lock unlocked (LP: #1632361)
  * Add --stop-only option to unattended-upgrade-shutdown and use it on
    hibernation. This prevents starting unattended-upgrades right before
    hibernating when Unattended-Upgrade::InstallOnShutdown is true.
    (Closes: #610333)
  * Stop already running unattended-upgrades before hibernation even with
    systemd (LP: #1455097)
  * Use lsb_release instead of dpkg-vendor in postinst (LP: #1719630)
  * Update README.md with the fact that unattended=upgrades is enabled
    by default (Closes: #865519)

This is rather a mysql bug or a local configuration issue since apparently the maintainer scripts are failing to start the server.

This needs actual logs to be actionable. Since it happened years ago, I find it unlikely there will be any.

Marking the bug as incomplete just in case someone still has this happening and can provide further info.

  * 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)

  * 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...

* Unlock for dpkg operations with apt_pkg.pkgsystem_unlock_inner() when it is
    available. Also stop running when reacquiring the lock fails.
    Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for original partial patch (LP: #1789637)
  * 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. (LP: #1781586)
  * Stop trying when no adjustment could be made and adjust package candidates
    only to lower versions (LP: #1785093)
  * Skip already adjusted packages from being checked for readjusting.
    This makes it clearer that the recursion ends and can also be a bit quicker.

  * 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

[ Michael Vogt ]
  * unattended-upgrades: fix Unlocked context manager. (LP: #1602536)
    The Unlocked context manager did correctly unlock but did not
    reacquire the lock which means that in minimal-upgrade step
    mode it is possible to run apt code without a lock. If something
    else (like landscape, apt, synaptic, packagekit) locks the cache
    in the meantime this will work and u-u will get dpkg errors
    because dpkg will not be able to perform its operations. It is
    less of an issue in non-minimal mode, but even then the auto-remove
    step may fail in this way.

[ Balint Reczey ]
  * Fix adjusting candidates (LP: #1775292)
  * Relock apt lock before reopening the cache (LP: #1602536)
  * Fix crashing while adjusting candidates and save candidates to adjust only
    in first sweep run, not emptying the set later
    (Closes: #901258) (LP: #1775307)

  * Add missing semicolon to commented-out Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages option
  * Set UnattendedUpgradesCache.allowed_origins before calling
    apt.Cache.__init__()
  * Find package candidates to adjust sweeping through all packages only once.
    Later reuse the list candidates and filter out packages installed in the
    meantime. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for the original patch
  * Use updated python-apt in upgrade-between-snapshots test
  * upgrade-between-snapshots: Mount /proc, too, in the chroot.
    Also clean up chroot properly on exit.
  * upgrade-between-snapshots: Use http_proxy environment variable in chroot,
    too
  * upgrade-between-snapshots: Remove packages installed as the side-effect of
    updating apt and python-apt
  * Ignore errors from compiling backported packages
  * Make is_autoremove_valid() nondestructive.
    Also fix autoremoval of packages when one package can't be removed and
    keeps back other package removals due to missing cache.clear()
  * Fix tracking removed packages
  * Suggest default-mta | mail-transport-agent to keep Lintian happy

        The test exercises only unattented-upgrade's Python code and uses

    Flag packages that have to be upgraded manually because of a conffile
    prompt and consider this to be an error when sending email or exiting.

[ Simon McVittie ]
  * Add python, python3, setuptools, DistutilsExtra to Build-Depends.
    They are needed for `clean`, so Build-Depends-Indep is not enough.

    This is unnecessary now that u-u is in git.

  * Clean up processes started for getting md5 sums
  * Don't keep /var/lib/dpkg/status open multiple times
  * Adjust candidates in UnattendedUpgradesCache.open()
  * Perform autoremovals in minimal steps, too.
    Also add check to remove only the set of packages selected for autoremoval.
    Without that check unattended-upgrades when (by default) configured to
    remove newly unused packages could also remove auto removable packages
    which were unused before starting starting the upgrade step.
  * Remove unused automatically installed kernel packages

  * Do not auto remove packages related to the running kernel (LP: #1615381)
  * Check packages to be autoremoved against blacklists, whitelists.
    Also check if the packages are held.
  * Report package removals in the summary email (Closes: #876797)
  * Run upgrade-between-snapshots test with debugging enabled
  * Don't create new UnattendedUpgradesCache for checking for autoremovals

* Run upgrade-between-snapshots only on amd64.
    The test exercises only unattented-upgrade's Python code and uses
    dependencies from the frozen Debian snapshot archive thus running
    it on all architectures would provide little benefit.

* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1722426)
    - Remaining changes:
      - unattended-upgrades: Do not automatically upgrade the development
        release of Ubuntu unless Unattended-Upgrade::DevRelease is true.
    - Dropped changes, included in Debian:
      - Fix version of test package in test_remove_unused_dependencies
      - Do not touch reboot-required on linux-image-extra removal
      - unattended-upgrades: Do not reboot during a dry-run.

[ Peter Nowee ]
  * Fix Raspbian default config codename matching.
    Using `archive=${distro_codename}` does not match, at least not in
    Raspbian Stretch anymore. Changing it to `codename=${distro_codename}`.
    I tested that it now works and did not notice any regressions.
    Same change was made to the Debian-specific configuration 3 years ago,
    see commit 9a2afa5.
  * Enable RPi-specific upgrades on Raspbian.
    In addition to the Raspbian repository, Raspbian images distributed by
    the Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF) depend on the RPF repository for
    kernel and firmware updates.
    This commit adds a pattern matching line for packages from the RPF
    repository to the Raspbian config file for unattended-upgrades.

[ Balint Reczey ]
  * Test for running systemd on Debian, too, when applying workaround for it
  * Fix calling dh_installinit during build
  * Tidy up d/control using cme fix
  * Fix log file location in man page.
    Thanks to Jaakov for the bug report (Closes: #817974)

  * Link unattended-upgrades.8 to unattended-upgrade.8 man page
  * Add Auto-Submitted header to email report (LP: #1230246)
  * Exit with error when package installation failed or u-u is signalled to
    stop (Closes: #838368)
  * Process packages needing smaller upgrade sets earlier in generating
    minimal upgrade sets.
    Inspired by Michael Vogt's partition pre-calculation code
  * Exit with printing error when apt errors prevent initialization
    (LP: #1737442)
  * Mark invalid UTF-8 characters in dpkg's log, but don't crash
    (LP: #1737635)
  * Try upgrading packages replacing configuration dir with configuration file
    (LP: #1737637)
  * Make unattended-upgrade-shutdown exit with error when apt config is
    invalid (LP: #1737717)
  * Exit when an apt error prevents checking a package for conffile prompt
  * Install upgrades from ${distro_codename}, label=Debian by default.
    This enables updates from stable point releases but also lets testing
    and sid being updated with the package updates.
    Fixes #33. (Closes: #787945, #597061)
  * Fix debian/NEWS.Debian's format
  * Add NEWS item about unattended-uprades installing stable/all updates
  * Stop asking debconf question about Origins-Pattern.
    50unattended-upgrades now contains multiple origins by default and setting
    them from debconf can't be made really easy. Users should change the
    configuration file itself instead. (LP: #1577215)
  * Update PO files about debconf templates
  * Don't log exceptions which did not happen
  * Add autopkgtest for upgrading unstable between two snapshots from
    snapshot.d.o
  * Remove tabs from Debian's configuration file
  * Catch SystemError instead of apt_pkg.Error for backwards compatibility
  * Check in autopkgtest if unattended-upgrades mark additional packages as
    manually installed
  * Test upgrading a full system with desktop packages in autopkgtest.
    Also pick different shapshots with which does not contain
    broken packages.
  * Test sending email after upgrading a full system
  * Show "please don't turn off the computer" while installing updates on
    shutdown.
    This is more informational for users than the original "sleeping for 5s".
    Thanks to Mario Loderer for the suggestion (LP: #1741579)
  * Use eatmydata for system upgrade autopkgtest
  * Run upgrade-between-snapshots autopkgtest even on other distros
  * Apt install built u-u in snapshot upgrade test
  * Update .pot file
  * Fix version of test package in test_remove_unused_dependencies
    (Closes: #886803)
  * Refresh cache after committing changes to avoid reinstalling packages
    (Closes: #875383)
  * Relax calculating truly minimal sets to sets expected to be minimal.
    This speeds up calculation by making it from ~O(n^2) to ~O(n) at the
    expense of creating slightly bigger sets in rare cases.

unattended-upgrades (0.96ubuntu1) artful; urgency=low

* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1714019)
    - Remaining changes:
      - Recover from broken dh_installinit override in versions < 0.93.1ubuntu3
      - unattended-upgrades: Do not automatically upgrade the development
        release of Ubuntu unless Unattended-Upgrade::DevRelease is true.
    - Dropped changes, included in Debian:
      - Cherry-pick 2e5deed, f26edb4 from upstream to add support for a
        --download-only option, enabling us to download updates at a random
        time of day by default but apply them predictably in the 6am-7am
        window.
      - Fix PEP8 failures (replace except: with except Exception:)
      - unattended-upgrades: Provide some information and create a log entry
        when there is a failure to parse the allowed origins.
      - Add UbuntuESM to the list of sources automatically upgraded from by
        default.
      - Complete the solution for the unattended-upgrades.service unit not
        correctly working
      - d/rules : Remove the override_dh_installinit. The stop option is no
        longer available so the command falls back to default. This is the
        normal behavior so the override is not required
      - d/unattended-upgrades.init : Add Default-Start runlevels, otherwise
        the unattended-upgrades.service unit cannot be enabled on boot
      - d/postinst : Cleanup the stop symlinks created by the wrong
        override_dh_installinit. Without that, the systemd unit cannot be
        enabled correctly.
        Force disable the service before deb-systemd-helper runs so the old
        symlink is not left dangling (workaround for Debian Bug #797108).
        Force enable and start of the systemd unit to work around Debian Bug
        #797108 which fails to enable systemd units correctly when
        WantedBy= statement is changed which is the case here.
      - d/unattended-upgrades.service : Fix the service so it runs correctly on
        shutdown :
        - Remove DefaultDependencies=no : Breaks normal shutdown dependencies
        - Set After= to network.target and local-fs.target. Since our service
          is now ExecStop, it will run before network and local-fs become
          unavailable.
        - Add RequiresMountsFor=/var/log /var/run /var/lib /boot : Necessary if
          /var is a separate file system. Set WantedBy= to multi-user.target
      - Add DEP8 tests to verify the following :
        - Verify that the unattended-upgrades.service unit is enabled and
          started.
        - Verify that InstallOnShutdown works when configured.
      - The systemd unit needs to be an ExecStop since it is is activated on
        shutdown. Otherwise, it will get scheduled after completion of
        the local-fs.target. In the case where /var is a separate
        filesystem, unattended-upgrade-shutdown will hang until timeout
        since /var/run is expected but no longer there
      - When performing a sanity check for packages to install or upgrade
        return false when either there are no packages in the cache or the
        package to upgrade is not in the change set.
      - Do not mark packages for deletion / autoremoval if unattended-upgrades
        is being run in dry-run mode.
      - Store delay command line option as an int not a string since we do
        maths with it.

    is also increased to 25 minutes from 10 minutes.
  * Update the signal used to SIGTERM in the documentation
  * Default to performing upgrades in minimal steps
  * Use same progress logfile when performing upgrades in minimal steps.
    This allows u-u-s to always show the progress.
  * Joining maintaining the package as an uploader
  * Log when not all upgrades could be installed
  * Fix incorrect example for Update-Days.
  * Add Debian backports example to Origins-Pattern.
