Title:
  /usr/bin/update-manager:json.decoder.JSONDecodeError:/bin/update-
  manager at 118:start_update:start_available:refresh_cache:_get_ua_security_status:load:loads:decode:raw_decode

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In JournalErrors:

  --->
  Failed to access URL: https://contracts.canonical.com/v1/resources?architecture=amd64&kernel=5.15.0-91-generic&series=focal
  Cannot verify certificate of server
  Please check your openssl configuration.
  [info] A new version is available: 30~20.04
  Please run:
  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-advantage-tools
  <---

  Is it the ubuntu-advantage-tools version problem, is it the failure to
  access contracts.canonical.com? Should we switch to calling the API
  directly as in 24.04[1] or handle the exception?
