This bug was fixed in the package unattended-upgrades - 0.92ubuntu1.1

---------------
unattended-upgrades (0.92ubuntu1.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Modify data/50unattended-upgrades.Ubuntu such that the release pocket is
    an allowed origin so that security updates with a new dependency will be
    upgraded and the new dependency will be installed.  (LP: #1624641)
  * Create logfile_dpkg if it does not exist so that the file can be read
    later, thereby preventing a FileNotFound crash.  (LP: #1590321)
  * Create the directory /var/lib/apt/periodic/, if it does not exist, so that
    we don't receive a Traceback when trying to write a stampfile there.
    (LP: #1639977)

  Test Case
  ---------
  1) edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades so that Update-Package-Lists is 1 and Unattended-Upgrade is 1
  2) sudo apt-get update
  3) sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/periodic
  4) sudo /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade
  5) observe the following Traceback

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1468, in <module>
      main(options)
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1419, in main
      write_stamp_file()
    File "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade", line 1011, in write_stamp_file
      with open(os.path.join(statedir, "unattended-upgrades-stamp"), "w"):
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/apt/periodic/unattended-upgrades-stamp'

  With the version of the package from -proposed you'll receive no such
  Traceback.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  This patch just ends up creating a directory if it does not exist.  Potential regressions would be a result of the patch being typo'ed e.g. typo'ing os.path.exits instead of os.path.exists and the code failing when a statedir does exist.  So read the patch carefully!
