Comment 0 for bug 557244

Landscape Client 1.5.0 has been released. We would like to get these
changes into Lucid, Karmic and Jaunty.

As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required pieces
of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the "Procedure"
section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

=== Statement explaining the impact ===

This is a bug-fix release and no new features have been introduced with
respect to the versions of Landscape Client that are currently in
Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid. We would like to make sure all of our
supported customers (even those on Jaunty and Karmic) have access to
these improvements. The notable ones are:

1) Fixes to the Eucalyptus plugin, which is now fully supported on the
   server web UI too.

2) The release upgrade activity result message now includes full logs
   from update-manager.

3) The package changer will be spawned only when the smart-update
   wrapper has been run at least once, instead of failing if no package
   data is available yet.

For more details see Bug #542215, Bug #554007, Bug #351927, Bug #503384
and Bug #522688 (all mentioned in the debian/changelog of the proposed
packages).

=== How the bug has been addressed ===
