Public bug reported:
On a precise system I ran update-manager and choose to install the new
HWE stack and then rebooted. After which I ran 'hwe-support-status
--show-replacements' and saw the following:
bdmurray@clean-precise-amd64:~$ hwe-support-status
Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2017.
bdmurray@clean-precise-amd64:~$ hwe-support-status --show-replacements
linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty
This seems odd to me given that the replacement packages are already
installed.
bdmurray@clean-precise-amd64:~$ apt-cache policy linux-generic-lts-trusty
linux-generic-lts-trusty:
Installed: 3.13.0.92.83
Candidate: 3.13.0.92.83
Version table:
*** 3.13.0.92.83 0
500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64
Packages
500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
On the plus side update-manager itself doesn't mention anything about
the packages being out of date, likely because hwe-support-status does
not exit 10.
