This is Ubuntu 18.04.1 with update-notifier version
apt-cache policy update-notifier
update-notifier:
  Installed: 3.192.1.4
  Candidate: 3.192.1.4

As shown here - https://imageshack.com/i/pl753Ekfp AFAICT I don't have
livepatch enabled. Running:

chris at localhost:/var/log$ ps axo stat,ppid,pid,comm | grep -w defunct
Z+    3283  3290 livepatch-notif <defunct>

livepatch-notif    

It's no big deal to remove the zombie by killing update-notifier
however I don't know if that's the right thing to do or not and why is
livepatch-notif always a zombie process after a restart?
