[Bug 2051115] Re: ubuntu pro integration interferes with dist-upgrade prompting

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:18.04.11.23 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:
  The listing of Ubuntu Pro packages has been introduced in recent
  versions of update-manager, but as an undesired consequence, in up to
  date machines unattached to Ubuntu Pro, update-manager stopped
  prompting to upgrade to a next supported release.

  Ubuntu Pro packages should be merely an addition to this program and
  not alter its main behavior.

  [Test plan]

  --->
  ua detach --assume-yes
  apt update
  apt upgrade
  apt install hello
  update-manager
  <---

  Instead of listing Ubuntu Pro packages (the hello one, for example,
  always has a ESM update) that would be installable if the user
  attached to Ubuntu Pro, the update-manager window should simply do as
  it did in older versions, namely, state that software is up to date,
  and, if a newer LTS is available, suggest to the user to update to it.

  [Where problems could occur]

  The Pro packages should still be listed as such (i.e. under their own
  section, "Ubuntu Pro security updates", in the package listing) in
  case there is at least one upgradable package (as of 'apt list
  --upgradable'), whether the machine is attached, in which case the
  Ubuntu Pro section is sensitive, or unattached to Ubuntu Pro, in which
  case it is insensitive.
