If Unattended-Upgrade::MailReport is only-on-error and a package "has a conffile prompt and needs to be upgraded manually", unattended-upgrades does not send an email to the address configured in Unattended-Upgrade::Mail. This appears to be a regression of #89, which was previously fixed by #92. Bisecting revealed that the regression was caused by b2842bd, which was part of #268.

It would be nice to have a way to get email notifications when packages can not be upgraded due to a conffile prompt, so that administrators are aware of the need for manual intervention on the affected system.

Thanks,
Kevin

Consider conffile prompts to be errors when there's nothing else to do
7445e96 
Unless there are also packages that can be upgraded, processing won't get
beyond "exit if there is nothing to do" to report a failure result because
of conffile prompts.

Check for conffile prompts when determining success/failure at the earlier
"nothing to do" stage.

Fixes mvo5#336.
