[Bug 1822340] Re: [UIFe] motd messaging rewrite

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-notifier into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
notifier/3.168.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  [UIFe] motd messaging rewrite

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in update-notifier source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Changes to the motd and update counting to count ESM security upgrades as security upgrades, and show some information about ESM upgrades.

  [Test case]
  The motd output has unit tests for the various combinations, passing counts of various upgrade types. That said, the actual counting might be wrong.

  The regression potential is higher in releases with ESM, as they'll
  get more messages and have more stuff that could go wrong.

  # SRU Verification update-notifier + ubuntu=advantage-tools
  # Test procedure:
  # - launch container Trusty, Xenial or Bionic
  # - Install ubuntu-advantage-tools from https://launchpad.net/~ua-client/+archive/ubuntu/proposed which supports esm on trusty, xenial, bionic, and focal
  # - Attach container to UA subscription (which activates the ESM APT repos
  # - run apt_check --human-readable to assert ESM pkg counts ARE NOT reported
  # - Upgrade update-notifier to -proposed
  # - re-run apt_check --human-readable to assert ESM pkg counts ARE reported

  [Regression potential]
  Potentially wrong reporting, lost translations.

  [SRU]
  We're only SRUing this to trusty, as xenial and bionic will have some more changes, and it would just be a waste of time to SRU the trusty one there.
