Title:
  unattended-upgrade crashed with ValueError in
  match_whitelist_string(): need more than 1 value to unpack

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  """

  I expect unattended-upgrades not to crash when using alternative
  options for the origin / archive specifications. What happened instead
  is that it crashed when encountering these options.

  See this discussion for why it SHOULD work, and used to , but now does not. Regression?
