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

[Chris J Arges]

Hello frankster, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.156.14.18 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

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

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
   * Users who have leftover components of a HWE stack get a misleading message in /etc/motd

  [Test Case]
   * install 12.04 (any version) server
   * install xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-saucy (or any random -lts-saucy non-meta package)
   * run hwe-support-status
   * verify that you get a message that contains:
  """Install a newer HWE version by running:
  sudo apt-get install
  """
   * install the updated version
   * verify that you get a message with "The following packages are no longer supported:" and no longer a empty apt-get install message.

  [Regression Potential]
   * Little, it could report too much to remove but thats very unlikely.

  ---------------
  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.

  Ubuntu release:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (mythbuntu)
  Installed version of update-manager-core: 1:0.156.14.15

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is going out of support
  on 07/08/14.  After this date security updates for critical parts (kernel
  and graphics stack) of your system will no longer be available.

  For more information, please see:
  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL

  To upgrade to a supported (or longer supported) configuration:

  * Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by running:
  sudo do-release-upgrade -p

  OR

  * Install a newer HWE version by running:
  sudo apt-get install

  and reboot your system.
