Public bug reported:
Removing the ubuntu-advantage-tools package (not purging: removing) will
leave the /etc/update-motd.d/99-esm script in place. Accordingly, it
will run at login time, but since it calls out to the ubuntu-advantage
script that no longer exists, it fails.
This is the sequence of events:
- ubuntu-advantage-tools is installed
- sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm with a valid token is run
- logout and login, confirming that the MOTD says something like "This Ubuntu
12.04 system is configured to receive extended security updates"
- remove (not purge) the ubuntu-advantage package. This will leave the
sources.list.d/ file with the ESM repository in place and working, but remove
the ubuntu-advantage script
- logout and login. The MOTD will now say "This Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system is past
its End of Life", even though the ESM repository is still enabled and
functioning.
