Yes. The way it works now is pam_motd is supposed to dynamically generate
a motd upon user login if you have this line "session optional
pam_motd.so" in /etc/pam.d/login (and sshd). pam_motd executes via run-
parts the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d. The 90-updates-available script
in turn executes the /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-
available script.
You should be able to update motd by running "apt-get update" and then
running the "update-motd-updates-available" manually:
$ sudo apt-get -qq update
$ sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available --force
2 packages can be updated.
2 updates are security updates.
Now check /var/run/motd and see if update entries match whatever the
update-motd-updates-available script generated.
