Bug Description
Test Case:
1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available
2. Reboot
3. Wait until the upgrade notification to 18.04 shows up
4. Press on 'Upgrade now'
To force the upgrade dialog to appear a second time you will need to use dconf-editor to reset com.ubuntu.
Expected behaviour
The upgrade process starts
Actual result
The update notifier dialog is closed and nothing happens. This is reproducible with the the Wayland and X sessions.
It works fine if update-notifier is executed manually with:
$ update-notifier --force-
