[Bug 1343296] Re: hwe-support-status does not output all necessary commands for upgrade

[Brian Murray]

I've forward ported the HWE support status code to Yakkety, so I'm
setting this to Fix Released.

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

Title:
  hwe-support-status does not output all necessary commands for upgrade

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

Bug description:
  Per:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL#A1._Install_12.04.5_HWE_.28Trusty_kernel.2BAC8-graphics.29,
  starting with Ubuntu 12.04.4 (as reported by `lsb_release -d`) I run
  `hwe-support-status` and it tells me to:

  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-
  trusty

  I do this, then reboot, yet it still says:

  (matt at case) ~$ lsb_release -d
  Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

  Not the 12.04.5 which I expect.

  Further, per the chart in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL#FAQ, I
  should be running the trusty graphics stack as well, yet none of that
  was listed in the apt-get install line. Verifying this:

  (matt at case) ~$ dpkg -l | grep trusty
  ii  linux-generic-lts-trusty                                    3.13.0.32.28                                        Generic Linux kernel image and headers
  ii  linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty                            3.13.0.32.28                                        Generic Linux kernel headers
  ii  linux-image-generic-lts-trusty                              3.13.0.32.28                                        Generic Linux kernel image

  None of the trusty xorg packages are installed.

  I believe that the commands generated by hwe-support-status are
  incomplete to accomplish its stated goal.
