Only root can read the logfiles. You have to use sudo or su.
Or you as a user are a member of the group 'adm'. Then you can read some 
and open the folder: '/var/log/unattended-upgrades'.
Therefore the tip in the last message.


EXAMPLE:
user@tor-proxy-02:~$ cd /var/log/unattended-upgrades
user@tor-proxy-02:/var/log/unattended-upgrades$ ls -la
total 28
drwxr-x--- 2 root adm  4096 Jun  1 06:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jun  3 06:25 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm     0 Jun  1 06:25 unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm   403 May 15 06:18 
unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm   333 May 11 06:10 
unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  800 Jun  3 06:39 unattended-upgrades.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1234 Jun  1 06:01 unattended-upgrades.log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  673 Apr 30 06:06 unattended-upgrades.log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Apr 15 22:13 
unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log
user@tor-proxy-02:/var/log/unattended-upgrades$ sudo nano 
unattended-upgrades.log

Not on the server. ;-)
In the filemanager on your home system. I can read my serverfile systems 
just like my files on the hard disk.

My everyday OS is Debian GNU/Linux. Most filemanager on *BSD, GNU/Linux 
and Unix systems should be able to do ftps or (File transfer over SSH).
In konqueror & Dolphin = FISH protocol. I only use PubkeyAuthentication 
on the servers!
Then you do not have to log in on the console to read the log files.
