[Bug 1052360] Re: unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

[Brian Murray]

At least two of the comments in this bug are due to two completely
different reasons.  If anybody is experiencing a crash in unattended-
upgrades it would be helpful if they were to report a new bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug unattended-upgrades' and include the log file
/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log.   Thanks in
advance!

** Changed in: unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Summary changed:

- unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
+ unattended-upgrade crashed with SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) for an unknown reason
