[Bug 1851858] Re: adds ESM to sources.list.d unconditionally, despite it being x86-only

[Andreas Hasenack]

** Description changed:

- The shiny new ubuntu-advantage-tools client adds ESM to sources.list.d
- unconditionally on all architectures, but the ESM archive itself
- currently only publishes for x86.  One of those two things is a bug.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and
+ 
+  * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.
+ 
+  * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
+    explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
+ 
+  * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
+    package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
+    the problem.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
+ of this change.
+ 
+  * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
+    upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
+    to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
+    event of a regression.
+ 
+  * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
+    and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Anything else you think is useful to include
+  * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
+  * and address these questions in advance
+ 
+ 
+ [Original Description]
+ The shiny new ubuntu-advantage-tools client adds ESM to sources.list.d unconditionally on all architectures, but the ESM archive itself currently only publishes for x86.  One of those two things is a bug.
  
  Personally, I think it's a bug we don't publish ESM for all the same
  arches as we released for (even if we don't update all the packages for
  all arches, people would at least get things like tzdata updates), but
  if the intent is to be strictly x86-only, then ubuntu-advantage-tools is
  very much in the wrong here, as it creates a situation where apt-get
  update fails on all !x86.
