[System]
Any current Ubuntu Desktop/Server supported release (Trusty, Xenial, Bionic, Cosmic).
[Impact]
Package installation turns into an inconsistent state if system is rebooted in the middle of an apt install/upgrade.
[Test Case]
Scenario with Landscape:
1. Upgrade triggered from Landscape
2. User at Ubuntu Desktop reboots the box using the GUI
3. System reboots and potentially turns into an inconsistent state
Scenario w/o Landscape:
1. User1 at Ubuntu Server issues "sudo apt-get upgrade"
2. User2 at Ubuntu Server issues "shutdown -r"
3. System reboots and potentially turns into an inconsistent state
[Remarks]
APT should automatically inhibit system halts/reboots while packages being installed/removed. A similar behavior to what is shown by unattended-upgrades.
As a Plan B, an Ubuntu Server/Desktop with the Landscape Client installed, should at least display warning the users that packages are being installed.
