[Bug 1745347] Re: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hello,

I don't think what you saw came from landscape. The bit that landscape-
sysinfo spits out to the motd is this:

 System information disabled due to load higher than 2.0

I don't know why you got the whole motd during the package install as if
you had logged in, but the landscape bit is just that line above. The
rest comes from many different scripts in /etc/update-motd.d

Why all that got displayed mid-apt upgrade does sound wrong. Maybe the
bug got triggered by landscape because it does install a script in /etc
/update-motd.d. I'm adding a bug task for update-notifier.

** Also affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: landscape-client (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
