update of unattended-upgrades and apport: warning/error messages during update

[Agesp Anonymous]

I'm using Xubuntu 10.4.4 LTS, and on recent update, this happened:

Some warning or error messages can be seen while the recent update of unattended-upgrades and apport packages.
Those messages can be later seen in /var/log/apt/term.log:

------8<------8<------8<------8<------
...
Valmistellaan paketin apport 1.13.3-0ubuntu2.1 vaihtamista (käyttäen pakettia .../apport_1.13.3-0ubuntu2.2_all.deb)...
stop: Unknown instance:
Puretaan korvaavaa apport-pakettia...
...
Tehdään asetuksia: unattended-upgrades (0.55ubuntu8) ...
update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (0 6)
update-rc.d: warning: unattended-upgrades stop runlevel arguments (0 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none)
...
Tehdään asetuksia: apport (1.13.3-0ubuntu2.2) ...
start: Job failed to start
...
------8<------8<------8<------8<------

I'm not using unattended-upgrades myself (and my intention is not to enable it) - but this is just confusing: it seems to try setting some startup stuff anyway. Then again, the warning messages looks like some king of bug to me. I'm some kind of perfectionist myself (sorry for that) and i'm just guessing: Does it work properly?

The machine seems to reboot nicely after update though, and without extra errors.. :)

That version is no more supported; and backport is not expected as its not a 'security' problem
