[Brian Murray]

I don't know if Balint considers me release management but fixing this
in an SRU is fine with me.

Title:
  E-mail report contains repeated "Reading database ... NN%" lines

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed
Status in apt package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  This concerns unattended-upgrades 0.90 in Xenial.

  Here is an excerpt from an e-mail report sent out by u-u after the
  upgrade process is completed:

  	Package installation log:
  	Log started: 2016-07-06  17:24:21

  	Preparing to unpack .../libgimp2.0_2.8.16-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb ...

  All but the last "Reading database ..." line should be elided from the
  message.

  As a matter of fact, those lines do not appear in messages mailed out
  from current Trusty systems (u-u version 0.82.1ubuntu2.4), so this
  appears to be a regression.
