[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello ethan.hsieh, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.4.8 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
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-zesty to verification-done-zesty. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-zesty. In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  Title: No pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or
  shutdown while installing security updates

  Summary:
  No pop-up window to warn users that system should not reboot or shutdown while installing security updates

  Steps:
  1. trigger unattended-upgrades
  2. reboot or shutdown system while installing packages

  Expected results: There is a pop-up window to warn users that system
  should not reboot or shutdown

  Actual results: There is no pop-up window to warn users

  Additional information:
  $ apt-cache policy unattended-upgrades
  unattended-upgrades:
    Installed: 0.90
    Candidate: 0.90ubuntu0.5
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

  
  * APT SRU *
  [Impact]
  Stopping apt-daily-upgrade.service terminates dpkg and friends by sending the signals to all processes in the cgroup, and will send KILL quickly after.

  [Test case]
  Start apt-daily-upgrade.service and stop it while unattended-upgrades is running.

  The upgrade should run to completion or a safe exit point as long as
  it takes less than about 900s (which is the timeout for sending kill).

  [Regression potential]
  Leftover processes might remain in the apt-daily-upgrade cgroup if the postinst scripts or some apt hooks do something funny.

  Shutdown might take longer due to the 900 second timeout.
