Bug Description
Upgraded my Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.04 with sudo do-release-upgrade -d, rebooted, and got this window in my face a couple of minutes after booting (see attached image).
It is shown by update-notifier and says (null), then gives me an option to [Perform this action].
lsof -p $(pidof update-notifier) shows
...
update-no 4269 mg 16r REG 259,5 1025 14027136 /usr/share/
so it is probably trying to tell me to record my ecryptfs recovery passphrase?
(For the record, my ~/Private is correctly unlocked and mounted.)

update-notifier doesn't hook into ecryptfs-utils, it's the other way around. If the process showing the broken dialogue is /usr/share/ ecryptfs- utils/ecryptfs- record- passphrase, then the bug belongs there.
