This problem appears to have been exposed by the update to apt
0.9.12.1 (0.9.12.1)
I have made three changes to the unattended-upgrade script to dig into this:
See enclosed patch.
1. Initialized return code to eliminate referenced before assignment
in the exception path
2. Added tracback code to see root cause of error in handler
I now get the following traceback information, which points me to 726156:
