Title:
ubuntu-security-status
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
------
ubuntu-security-status incorrectly reports the status of Ubuntu Advantage subscriptions.
Test Case
---------
1) ua attach <REDACTED_TOKEN>
2) ubuntu-security-status
With the version of the package in the release pocket you'll see
output ending with "This machine is not attached to an Ubuntu
Advantage subscription"
With the version of the package from -proposed the output will not say
you are not attached.
Another test case
1) Run the version of ubuntu-security-status from -proposed on an unattached system
You'll see output with "This machine is not attached to an Ubuntu
Advantage subscription"
Where things could go wrong
---------------------------
Its possible that ubuntu-security-status could think that a UA subscription is attached when in fact one is not attached so ubuntu-security-status should also be run on an unattached system.
Original Description
--------------------
In 20.04 ubuntu-security-status incorrect reports the status of subscription:
```
$ sudo ubuntu-security-status
1594 packages installed, of which:
1588 receive package updates with LTS until 4/2025
6 are receiving security updates with ESM Apps until 4/2030
This machine is not attached to an Ubuntu Advantage subscription.
See https://ubuntu.com/advantage
```
It shows no subscription in the system even though there is. ua status correctly shows the subscription:
```
$ ua status
