When unattended-upgrades is run with the --dry-run flag, it still acquires a cache lock (presumably from apt update?), and makes a pid file. These can interfere with unattended-upgrade runs that are done without the --dry-run, and can result in Cache acquire lock errors. Ideally, for --dry-run, unattended-upgrades could use a temporary directory for the lists location, and the pid, if it even needs one. thanks!
