Title:
  Livepatch notifier didn't trigger when a livepatch was applied

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  A livepatch went out for 18.04, but I didn't get a notification.

  Looking at "ps aux":

  will      2121  0.0  0.0      0     0 tty7     Z+   May22   0:00 [livepatch-notif] <defunct>
  will     16009  0.0  0.0      0     0 tty7     Z+   May24   0:00 [livepatch-notif] <defunct>

  (I havent rebooted this box in a while, perhaps that's it)

  Nothing in /var/crash

  
  $ sudo cat /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/current/status 
  [sudo] password for will: 
  applied 2

  
  -/-

  $ sudo touch /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/current/status 
  $ sudo cat /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/current/status 
  applied 2

  -/-

  Doing this:

  * Run in the CLI: dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"  | grep --line-buffered  "member=Notify\|string"
  * Run in another terminal: sudo touch /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/current/status

  Does not generate any output.
