Title:
  unattended-upgrade script brakes with apt=2.4.12

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When activating unattended-upgrades, the job (ps aux)
  "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade --download-only" will
  not ever finish. User cant upgrade, since the process is holding a
  lock on "/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend".

  "python3 -v /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade --download-only -v" never finishes, while using apt=2.4.12 on VERSION="22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)". 
  It stops at:
  ```
  ...
  Initial blacklist:
  Initial whitelist (not strict):
  # /usr/lib/python3.10/__pycache__/_strptime.cpython-310.pyc matches /usr/lib/python3.10/_strptime.py
  # code object from '/usr/lib/python3.10/__pycache__/_strptime.cpython-310.pyc'
  import '_strptime' # <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x7f3e527bfd60>

  ```
  And does not ever finish.
  It works again with downgrading to: "apt install apt=2.4.5": (2.4.8 also works, so the issue seems to be included after that).
