[Bug 1990450] Re: Show potential Ubuntu Pro updates and apt news messages

[Andreas Hasenack]

Sorry, I'm very much lost by now.

Let's use jammy as an example:

update-manager | 1:22.04.9     | jammy                      | source
update-manager | 1:22.04.10    | jammy-updates              | source
update-manager | 1:22.04.16    | jammy-proposed             | source
update-manager | 1:22.04.17    | jammy/unapproved/93d92bdd  | source

We have 22.04.16 in jammy-proposed, which claims to have fixed this bug
here: #1990450

We have 22.04.17 in jammy unapproved, which claims in its changes file
to be fixing #1990450 again, and #2043425. It has no new changes about
#1990450, though.

And #1990450 has verification-failed tags.

If we accept the package in jammy-unapproved, it will again try to fix
this bug here, but with no new changes, it won't. So should the package
in unapproved not claim to fix #1990450? Or what is going on?

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Show the Ubuntu Pro (aka Ubuntu Advantage) updates that would be enabled if you attached this machine. This information is not currently shown.

  The new revision also update the reference to the Software Properties'
  Livepatch tab which doesn't exist anymore since bug #2003527 and was
  replaced by Ubuntu Pro.

  There is also a new section 'News' showing the apt-news messages if
  there are any available and some layout changes to accommodate for the
  new section

  [Test Case]
  1. Do fresh install of Ubuntu with available updates
  2. Check there are updates available by running:
  $ pro security-status
  Note that updates are only available for older LTS releases.
  If there are no Pro specific updates available, install any package listed in https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu/dists/jammy-apps-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages (without attaching your machine!)
  3. Open update-manager

  -> There should be a 'Ubuntu Pro security updates (Enable in
  Settings...)' section at the bottom of the updates list showing
  disabled and including under it the name of the packages that would be
  available if pro was enabled

  4. start software-properties, go to the ubuntu pro tab and attach to a pro account
  5. close software-properties and restart update-manager

  -> There should be a 'Ubuntu Pro security updates' section at the
  bottom of the updates list showing enabled and including under it
  packages updated provided by pro that can be installed

  6. Check the top of the update-manager dialog

  If there is a message available on the server
  $ curl https://motd.ubuntu.com/aptnews.json
  with a timestamp older than one month

  then a 'news' section should be displayed including the message

  if there isn't a recent post on the server it can be tested locally
  with the steps from #31

  [Regression Potential]
  Possibility of introducing new bugs.

  The new livepatch->ubuntu pro string change will not be translated
  until the next language pack refresh
