[Bug 2006402] Re: Update focal, jammy, kinetic, lunar to landscape-client 23.02

[Mitch Burton]

** Description changed:

  Landscape Client 23.02 has been released. We would like to get these
  changes into focal, jammy, kinetic, and lunar.
  
  As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required pieces
  of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the "Procedure"
  section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).
  
  === Statement explaining the impact ===
  
  This release includes important bug-fixes that impact a large amount of
  our supported customers, a large amount of which are on focal. Main
  fixes include:
  
    1) Preventing the generation of large messages and logs that can overwhelm Landscape Server (LP: #1995775)
    2) Improved MOTD slowdown on machines with many tap network interfaces (LP: #2006396)
    3) No longer using deprecated apt-key when storing trusted GPG keys (LP: #1973202)
    4) Fixed issue recognising Parallels VMs as Virtual Machine clients (LP: #1827909)
    5) Fixes for incorrect logfile rotation config (LP: #1968189)
    6) Client-side backoff handling to moderate traffic to Landscape Server during high load (LP: #1947399)
    7) Avoid sending empty messages when catching up to expected next message (LP: #1917540)
  
  New features:
  
    8) --is-registered CLI option to quickly check if client is registered (LP: #1912516)
    9) Can now report Ubuntu Pro attachment information if the version of Landscape Server it is registered to supports this (LP: #2006401)
  
  For more details see the aforementioned bugs (all mentioned in the
  debian/changelog of the proposed packages).
  
  === How the bug has been addressed ===
  
  We have been following the development procedure laid out in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LandscapeUpdates
  
  Furthermore, the testing procedure results can be seen in
  https://wiki.canonical.com/Landscape/ClientSRUTests/23.02
  
  === Patches ===
  
  Branches allowing for recreation of the tested packages are attached to
  this bug report. A simple "debuild" should be possible once checked out.
