[Bug 1934199] Re: Switch from Livepatch service to UA client

[Robert Ancell]

The current implementation shows "Last check for updates". As far as I can tell this information is not available via the UA client. It also shows a list of applied CVE fixes, which again I don't think is available from the UA client.
 
See attached screenshot of current implementation in 18.04 LTS.

Bug description:
  software-properties currently uses a HTTP over Unix domain socket
  service from the livepatch snap to get the status and enable/disable
  it. This service is being deprecated with the 'ua' command line tool
  now providing this functionality. software-properties also installed
  the snap to gain access to this service. This is no longer required as
  the 'ua' tool does this.

  (*) The Livepatch service is a HTTP over Unix domain service running
  on livepatchd.sock inside the livepatch snap.
