Bug Description

For the upcoming VM and repository profiles features, we need to update landscape-client to 11.07.1.1.

Test matrix: https://wiki.canonical.com/Landscape/LandscapeDocumentation/ClientSRUTests/11.07.1.1

At this time, the test suite has been completed for all nominated releases: Lucid (already released), Maverick and natty.

This is a summary of the changes:

== New features ==
 * support for repository profiles. This feature is not yet enabled on the server.
 * support for VM licensing
 * report package-reporter errors so the UI can display an alert to the administrator. Also report successes to clear this alert.

== Fixes ==
 * better deal with unexpected shutdowns
 * don't overwhelm the server with network messages

== Detailed changelog ==
* Try to load the old persist file if the current one doesn't exist or is empty (LP: #809210).
* Fallback to gethostname to get something interesting out of get_fqdn.
* Fix wrong ownership and permissions when the reporter is run as a result of applying a repository profile (LP: #804008).
* Keep original sources.list ownership (LP: #804548).
* Refactored tests (LP: #805746).
* Preserve permissions of sources.list (LP: #804548).
* Added a broker command line option (--record) that saves exchanges with the server to the filesystem
* Detect if running in a vmware guest (LP: #795794).
* Report VM type when run in the cloud (LP: #797069).
* Report VM type in non-cloud registration (LP: #795752).
* Report the package reporter result even in case of success, not just in case of failure (LP: #780406).
* Report package reporter errors (LP: #732490).
* Fix dependencies for hardy removing references to python 2.4 packages for pycurl and dbus (LP: #759764).
* The landscape client now reports whether it is running on a virtual machine or not.
* Add a plugin which manages APT sources.list and the associated GPG keys (LP: #758928).
* Limit the number of items in a network message to 200, to prevent problems when communication is interrupted ith the server and the client accumulates too many network items, thus overloading the server when it's available again (LP: #760486).
* Updated version number in __init__.py so that the client reports the correct one in its user-agent string.

I did a "strong" verification of all the bugs in the changelog for the lucid package in proposed, except one: bug #760486. For this, I did a code inspection, as reproducing it seems a bit difficult. I'm leaving a machine accumulating network data for a few days, though, but I would like to ask that this bug is marked as verified too if that's ok.
