Bug Description
[Impact]
* The confusing text on shutdown is, well, can confuse users.
* This fix itself is minor and would not warrant a backport but it is backported as part of fully backporting Bionic's u-u version to Xenial.
[Test Case]
* Check that the status text is less confusing than it was previously either by configuring unattended-upgrades to run at shutdown and waiting for the text to appear or check that the text is changed in unattended-
$ grep -B1 please /usr/share/
msg = _("Unattended-
"please don't turn off the computer")
* The former way or the verification may not be easy since with the fix for LP: #1803137 the shutdown screen does not show up when u-u-shutdown starts running, see the bug for the details.
* Also checking unatttended-
[Regression Potential]
* The updated text should not cause major issues, but until it is translated to each language it is shown in English, possibly confusing users in a different way.
[Original Bug Text]
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04
Package: unattended-
Uname: 4.4.0-104-generic #127-Ubuntu SMP
Architecture: amd64
I've german systems, so when updates will be installed at shutdown this text will be displayed at the screen.
German:
"unattended upgrade läuft während des herunterfahrens weiter, es wird fünf Sekunden lange gewartet"
English:
"unattended upgrade runs during the shutdown, it waits for five seconds"
This sentence make absolutly no sence for me. Maybe it is an translationproblem? Don't know text on the english ubuntuversion.
The problem is that some customer turned of some computers, because the updates need more time then 5 seconds ;)
A better message will that was Windows10 displays at shutdown ...don't turn off the computer, updates will be installed...
Thanks and best Reagards

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I found the original message, "Unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, sleeping for 5s" (https:/ /translations. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ artful/ +source/ unattended- upgrades/ +pots/unattende d-upgrades/ de/52/+ translate). Though I am not sure if the issue is with the translation or the original text.
