Bug Description

Report seen at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/gp84ro/login_motd_not_working/

Looks like ubuntu-advantage-tools 17 (at least) uses lsb_release in /etc/update-motd.d/80-esm but does not depend on lsb-release. That package isn't marked Essential, so my understanding is that the ubuntu-advantage-tools must declare it as a direct dependency. It isn't sufficient to assume that ubuntu-minimal is always installed.

This is related to this Github Issue: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-advantage-client/issues/1245

All maintained versions of UA Client (19+) have removed the call to `lsb_release` and is parsing `os-release` directly, so this error does not happen anymore.

Per the GH issue, the dependency was reintroduced in postinst later on, but this was also already fixed.
