2019-06-17 18:32:46 Brian Murray description I have a VM running on AWS. It was launched on May 9th: $ uptime 05:26:21 up 12 days, 6:34, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 $ date Wed May 22 05:26:24 UTC 2019 I touched none of the system defaults, and yet the motd has not updated automatically. $ ls -l /var/cache/motd-news -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 9 22:53 /var/cache/motd-news The systemd timer unit looks like this: $ systemctl status motd-news.timer ● motd-news.timer - Message of the Day Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motd-news.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (elapsed) since Thu 2019-05-09 22:51:58 UTC; 1 weeks 5 days ago Trigger: n/a May 09 22:51:58 ip-172-31-23-224 systemd[1]: Started Message of the Day. If I run /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force manually, the file does update correctly. [Impact] motd-news timer is not properly configured and may not run regularly so long running systems will not get an updated motd [Test Case] The system being tested must have curl installed - base-files does not depend on it because reasons. 1) Run 'systemctl status mot-news.timer' 2) Observe that the Trigger section is n/a With the version of the package from -proposed the Trigger section should instead contain something like the following: Trigger: Mon 2019-06-17 11:42:25 PDT; 20min left One should also wait to ensure that the trigger actually ran and that /var/cache/motd-news has been updated. [Regression Potential] I can't think of any on the client side as the job wasn't working at all but it may cause extra load on the motd server.

If I run /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force manually, the file does update correctly. [Impact] motd-news timer is not properly configured and may not run regularly so long running systems will not get an updated motd [Test Case] The motd-news.timer is known to be incorrectly configured because motd-news.services is a one shot service which will not become active. Subsequently, have a timer with OnUnitActiveSec is wrong and the timer will not work reliably. However, because it can work some of the time it is difficult to find a case where the timer always fails so test case will involve only confirming that the new timer is correct. 1) On a system with curl installed, install the new version of base-files 2) Run 'systemctl list-timers motd* --all 3) Confirm that "LEFT" is less than 12 hours (Its less than 24 hours because we don't want people to miss important messages) 4) Wait until "NEXT" is reached 5) Confirm that there is another "NEXT" and that the time stamp of /var/cache/motd-news was updated [Regression Potential] I can't think of any on the client side as the job wasn't working as it was intended but it may cause extra load on the motd server.
