[Bug 1661611] Re: apt/unattended-upgrades stalls shutdown

[Jogarem]

Solution:

 - fix /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-shutdown to
expect "false" instead of "False"

patching /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown:


--- /tmp/unattended-upgrade-shutdown	2017-02-03 14:53:03.238103238 +0100

         env["UNATTENDED_UPGRADES_FORCE_INSTALL_ON_SHUTDOWN"] = "1"
         logging.debug("starting unattended-upgrades in shutdown mode")


The above solves the issue for me.

Title:
  apt/unattended-upgrades stalls shutdown

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When unattended-upgrades is installed, 9 out of 10 shutdowns/reboots
  hang while "starting unattended upgrades shutdown". This hang stalls
  the shutdown process for 5-10 mins.

  If I disable unnattended-upgrades via the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-
  upgrades and/or 50unattended-upgrades, the problems occurs.

  If I terminate the service before shutdown/reboot (sudo service
  unattended-upgrades stop) the problem still occurs.

  If I remove the package (sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades) the
  problem no longer occurs.

  This occurs on a freshly installed version of Ubuntu Server 16.04.1
  (both unattended-upgrades installed via install GUI or manual install
  of unattended-upgrades)

  Both Kern.log & syslog do not show the shutdown process (I believe
  because the filesystems have already unmounted)
