Comment 35 for bug 790538

I appreciate that the problem has already been solved (I'm glad) but am still considering whether to nominate this as the biggest fuck-up since the Debian SSH/SSL key fiasco. If this truly affects every server Ubuntu install out there using unattended upgrades (it affected my three servers running Ubuntu 10.04 with unattended upgrades), this bug just broke thousands of backup cron jobs all over the world and the worst thing is it requires manual intervention from a sysadmin to get it going again :-S.
