Is this just a case of an upgrade pulling in a new kernel, which could
cause pm-hibernate to disallow a hibernate[0]? If so, this isn't
unattended-upgrades breaking pm-utils, but pm-utils properly preventing
you from hibernating in a situation that you wouldn't be able to
recover. The proper fix is to configure the unattended upgrade not to
upgrade kernels, if possible.
