Title:
  Running apt-check --package-names returns an unknown error

Bug description:
  When running /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --package-names the
  following error is returned:

  $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --package-names
  E: Unknown Error: '<class 'TypeError'>' (map() must have at least two arguments.)

  What I expected was a list of packages which can be upgraded.

  From what I understand, the map function requires 2 arguments, but the
  list comprehension used is only creating a single argument, which is
  the package name.

  I found if  I changed the function

  def write_package_names(outstream, cache, depcache):
      " write out package names that change to outstream "
      pkgs = [pkg for pkg in cache.packages if depcache.marked_install(pkg) or
          depcache.marked_upgrade(pkg)]
      outstream.write("\n".join(map([p.name for p in pkgs])))


  def write_package_names(outstream, cache, depcache):
      " write out package names that change to outstream "
      pkgs = [pkg for pkg in cache.packages if depcache.marked_install(pkg) or
          depcache.marked_upgrade(pkg)]
      outstream.write("\n".join([p.name for p in pkgs]))        #Removed the map() function
