Hello Chad, or anyone else affected,
Accepted software-properties into bionic-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/0.96.24.32.18
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-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. 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.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Error messages emitted to software-properties-gtk console "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json'" due to incorrect expectation that status.json file is written when non-root runs `ua status`
* This logic results in multiple `ua status` calls which each result in a network-egress to https://contracts.canonical.com on unattached machines which could result in delays in rendering the GTK dialogs while awaiting a response.
[Test Case]
1. Install latest version of software-properties-gtk from -proposed
cat > setup_proposed.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
echo deb \$mirror \$(lsb_release -sc)-proposed main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
apt-get update -q
apt-get install -qy software-properties-gtk software-properties-common python3-software-properties
EOF
IP=`uvt-kvm ip ${DESKTOP_VM}`
scp setup_proposed.sh ubuntu@$IP:.
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo bash ./setup_proposed.sh
2. run software-properties-gtk on the commandline
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk
# Validate no error messages on launch
3. Click Updates tab and validate
Basic Security Maintenance "Extend..."
Active until 04/23/2025
(Extend.. is a link that will spawn a browser to
ubuntu.com/security/esm)
4. Click Cancel button
5. Attach to a UA contract and re-run Software and updates UX
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo ua attach $MY_TOKEN
ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk
# validate no error messages
6. Click Updates tab and validate:
Extended Security Maintenance
Active until 12/31/1999
# Note no "Extend..." text or link
[Where problems could occur]
* invalid parsing of UA contract information or missing /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json will print messages to the console in the event of errors or warnings.
* failures and tracebacks in this code will result in invalid representation of system defaults in the Updates tab about whether or not a machine is attached to a contract or whether the contract is expired.
* Other than user-facing documentation about the state of the UA subscription this does not prevent the dialogs from functioning.
* limited network environments could have a delay of UX rendering due to `ua status` calls timing out on attempts to reach contracts.canonical.com
