you are right, Julian, I am sorry. The behaviour has not changed at all
compared to previous ubuntu releases.
In my case there was the dpkg inconsistency, requiring execution of
'dpkg --configure -a'
But at the same time there was some dependency problem which required
calling 'apt -f install'
The latter made 'apt check' error out, but I attributed this to the
former.

Title:
daily unattended upgrade does not recover from interrupted dpkg run
(regression)
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
ever since the daily unattended upgrade is run via systemd timers it
does no longer recover from interrupted dpkg runs
in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily, before the actual unattended-upgrade
script is called, there is a call to
apt-get check
which ends the daily update run with an error in this case. The log says
error encountered in cron job with "apt-get check".
Before the switch to systemd timers, when a dpkg run was interrupted
(requiring execution of dpkg --configure -a), the unattended upgrade
script would recover from this (unless Unattended-
Upgrade::AutoFixInterruptedDpkg was set to "false"). So this is a
regression.
