[Bug 1341320] Re: empty apt-get install command suggested by hwe-support-status

[Paul Pace]

I am running vanilla Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I am experiencing this bug.

I have to say, if the new Ubuntu LTS plan is to require upgrading the
distribution before its scheduled support expiration, that's
disappointing.

Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.11.0-24-generic x86_64)

Title:
  empty apt-get install command suggested by hwe-support-status

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  hwe-support-status generates an empty apt-get command as can be seen
  in its output appended below. As the command doesn't really make sense
  I assume that this is not the expected behaviour.

  Installed version of update-manager-core: 1:0.156.14.15
