Xenial verification with ubuntu-advantage-tools 2 from xenial-proposed:
*** 2 500
500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-proposed/main amd64 Packages
a) Since there is no ESM avaiable for xenial, enabling esm fails:
ubuntu at xenial-ubuntu-advantage:~$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <redacted>
Running apt-get update...
W: The repository 'https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
E: Failed to fetch https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
ubuntu at xenial-ubuntu-advantage:~$ echo $?
100
apt-get update commands will continue to fail like above until ESM is
disabled with "sudo ubuntu-advantage disable-esm".
b) MOTD is unaffected by esm, enabled or not, since we are not running
on precise.

Bug description:
The ubuntu-advantage-tools package is a bit odd as it was first landed
in precise to support the ESM effort inside canonical. [0] In order
to bring this package up to date across other series in ubuntu, it has
been recommended by the Ubuntu Foundations team to land into trusty
next, then forward-port pocket-copy to all supported series until we
get to the devel release.
The version here:
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-
script/releases/tag/v2
... has all on-disk bits correctly working, for all series, but no-ops
on any release other than precise (ESM is only for "unsupported" LTS
releases as it were). This is a request to land ubuntu-advantage-
tools into trusty, then pocket-copy it to supported series of ubuntu
once that is finished.
[Impact]
* Allow ubuntu-advantage users to access the extended security
maintenance script with a simple command line tool. This script needs
to hit precise machines and be easy for ubuntu-advantage customers to
enable, thus basefiles was chosen as a home.
[Test Case]
* Run ubuntu-advantage, it should print out help
* Run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable <token> (without sudo it will warn you), but you need to be an ubuntu-advantage customer to get that token. In the end, the script simply adds and removes an /etc/apt/sources.list.d entry.
* Verify that the MOTD does not contain any mention of ubuntu-advantage esm or precise and its end of life
* you can contact me (dpb at canonical.com) if you would like a token for test purposes.
[Regression Potential]
* Low, this is a new script, not included in any automated startup
paths.
