Software updater snuck in a package that is unwanted

[Bret Busby]

For Ralf Mardorf  (whose message has not come through on this system):

"
:~$ grep unattended-upgrades /var/log/dpkg.log | grep \installed
2017-10-17 04:57:52 status half-installed unattended-upgrades:all 
0.90ubuntu0.2
2017-10-17 04:57:53 status half-installed unattended-upgrades:all 
0.90ubuntu0.2
2017-10-17 04:57:57 status installed unattended-upgrades:all 
0.90ubuntu0.8
"

All that I understand from that, is that some upgrades appear to be 
"half installed", and, some appear to be fully installed.

The timestamps are WST (UTC+0800).
