[Bug 1654070] Re: sanity check can fail for packages missing dependencies

[Brian Murray]

Emails from unattended-upgrades are saner now with my patch:

Packages that were upgraded:                                                                                                                                           
 libnss3 libnss3-nssdb                                                                                                                                                 
Packages with upgradable origin but kept back:                                                                                                                         
 pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-zeroconf

As opposed to:

Packages that were upgraded:                                                                                                                                           
 libnss3 libnss3-nssdb pulseaudio-module-gconf                                                                                                                         
 pulseaudio-module-zeroconf 

And then the pulseaudio packages not being installed.
