[Bug 1607983] Re: hwe-support-status --show-replacements shows replacements that are installed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:16.10.5

---------------
update-manager (1:16.10.5) yakkety; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py: when marking HWE packages for install pass
    on a SystemError and let the problem resolver sort it out.
  * HweSupportStatus/consts.py: Improve wording of the messages.
  * hwe-support-status:
    - decode output when checking for foreign architectures so that the result
      is unicode not bytes.
    - add libwayland-egl1-mesa to the list of metapackages.
    - utilize a virtualbox metapackage set.
    - Do not show replacements that are already installed on
      the system.  (LP: #1607983)
  * source_update-manager.py: collect information about the state of HWE
    support on the system. (LP: #1617080)
  * source_update-manager.py: only collect HWE information if it exists.

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Add gi.require_version in a few more places to reduce the annoying
    warnings. (LP: #1573177)

Title:
  hwe-support-status --show-replacements shows replacements that are
  installed

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

Bug description:
  On a precise system I ran update-manager and choose to install the new
  HWE stack and then rebooted.  After which I ran 'hwe-support-status
  --show-replacements' and saw the following:

  bdmurray at clean-precise-amd64:~$ hwe-support-status
  Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2017.
  bdmurray at clean-precise-amd64:~$ hwe-support-status --show-replacements
  linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty

  This seems odd to me given that the replacement packages are already
  installed.

  bdmurray at clean-precise-amd64:~$ apt-cache policy linux-generic-lts-trusty
  linux-generic-lts-trusty:
    Installed: 3.13.0.92.83
    Candidate: 3.13.0.92.83
    Version table:
   *** 3.13.0.92.83 0
          500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages
          500 http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  On the plus side update-manager itself doesn't mention anything about
  the packages being out of date, likely because hwe-support-status does
  not exit 10.
