[Impact]
* Unattended-upgrades crashes when a package update changes a config dir to a config file.
* U-u stops installing security updates when it crashes.
[Test Case] (Xenial)
* Install an older version of the git package than the one available from xenial-security:
# apt install git=1:2.7.4-0ubuntu1
* Change a configuration file to a directory and observe not fixed u-u crashing and fixed u-u installing the update.
# mv /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt.bak
# mkdir /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt
# unattended-upgrade --verbose --dry-run

[Regression Potential]
* As a known and demonstrated regression configuration files replaced with directories by the local administrator are overwritten and this is dpkg's default behavior. The same thing would happen when applying the security update using apt, and this is still better than skipping the security update.
