Solution 1:

You just need to strip the newline character so change

read_files = open(lines)

to

read_files = open(lines.strip())

as an observation - critical to read each character in an error message - the message was telling you that there was no file named

'/home/usr/Downloads/outdir/unpacked_files.log\n'

so it is useful to then try to understand why the \n showed up - this did not match your expectation of the file name so you should wonder why the file has that name
