to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

Title:
  package unattended-upgrades 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.1 failed to
  install/upgrade: installed unattended-upgrades package post-
  installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Upgrading unattended-upgrades during shutdown fails due to postinst
  trying to start the unattended-upgrades service. This can break
  installation of other security-fixes, too.

   * Unattended-upgrades is regularly SRU-d and this bug can break
  installing other important updates.

   * The fix is not starting/stopping the init.d script in postinst
  which is not useful during package installation anyway.

  [Test Case]

   * Check prerm that invoke-rc.d is not called:

  [Regression Potential] 

  * Unattended-upgrades.service may fail to start upon first
  installation. This is not an issue in default configuration since apt
  starts u-u based on timers and stops it gracefully upon shutdown.
