Bug Description
[Test case]
1. install update-manager-core from -proposed
2. run ubuntu-
3. verify that a message is displayed directing the user to https:/
4. install ubuntu-
5. run sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm fakename:fakepass
6. ignore errors from being unable to retrieve esm sources
7. run ubuntu-
8. verify that no warning message about esm is displayed (though the support lengths listed are still incorrect for ESM-supported packages)
[Regression potential]
If someone has scripted around the output of ubuntu-
[SRU justification]
ubuntu-
I think ideally we would:
- have a list available, shipped with update-
- if the ESM archive is enabled on the system, use this source of information about the extended support length
- if the ESM archive is not enabled on the system, direct the users toward information about enabling ESM
Though the last part is a bit chicken and egg at this point, since the precise archive is closing so the only place we have to publish the updated update-manager-core package is in the ESM archive itself.
