Yes, it is still there and I am primarily worrying about my server (no GUI
installed).

In the previous thread there were a number of suggestions and I tried to apply
them to another Ubuntu machine, which is running Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS desktop.
But it did not work, it still shows this after a full-upgrade followed by a
reboot:

Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-153-generic x86_64)
Expanded Security Maintenance for Applications is enabled.
0 updates can be applied immediately.
New release '22.04.2 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
*** Livepatch has fixed kernel vulnerabilities. System restart recommended on
the closest maintenance window ***

Same here, my full message when logging on via ssh to my server, which is my
main concern:

Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-89-generic x86_64)
  System information as of Sat 22 Jul 2023 09:33:52 AM CEST

So there is nothing to update and yet there is some Kernel SRU period problem,
which I do not understand...
