Bug Description
I have installed Ubuntu in some inexperienced users and I have activated the "download and install updates automatically". After some months everyone had corrupted dependencies or packages because during the updates installation they shutdown their PCs by ignorance.
This leads to not updated packages (which may lead in stability and security problems) till someone using terminal solve those problems (usually with sudo apt-get -f install). Till then updates stop working automatically.
I think Ubuntu in case that updates installation is in progress, should wait for the updates to finish (prevent shutdown) informing users about the shutdown delay with a message. Something like Windows 7 do probably.
