[Bug 949256] Re: removal (not purge) breaks MOTD

[Steve Langasek]

ok.  definitely an update-manager bug, then - though update-manager-core
is priority: standard, so isn't normally something we would expect users
to remove.  Marking as low priority.

Title:
  removal (not purge) breaks MOTD

Status in “update-manager-core” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Starting a few days ago, all of my 10.04.4 servers ceased printing the
  MOTD when I SSH'd into them.  /etc/motd is a symlink to /var/run/motd
  which doesn't exist.  /var/run/motd.new is being created correctly on
  each login, e.g.:
