[ubuntu-hardened] Fwd: Why am I seeing this message about 'esm-apps' on just one system?

[Alex Murray]

Hi Chris,

I suspect that on this other machine you have installed imagemagick and
other packages which then have updates available for those packages in
esm-apps / Ubuntu Pro. Whilst on the other machines these packages are
not installed and so you do not see this message as there is no relevant
updates from esm-apps / Ubuntu Pro to be installed. ie. apt will only
mention security updates that are relevant for the given machine. The
Security Team has released many updates into esm-apps / Ubuntu Pro but
we only notify about those that are relevant on the current machine.

Thanks,
Alex
