Bug Description

Hello, 12.04 ESM support has ended; however, on a 12.04 machine, the MOTD still says:

This Ubuntu 12.04 system is configured to receive extended security updates
from Canonical:
 * https://www.ubuntu.com/esm

I think the MOTD should clearly state that ESM support has ended for this machine.

It's a bit late to do anything about this for precise; can we address this before we retire trusty?

Thanks

Hi Seth, although ubuntu-advantage-tools does generate some MOTD messages, we are not currently generating the message you are describing here. I think it is better to tag the update-notifier package in this bug.

However, if you think there is something we can still do on our side, please let me know.

Thanks Lucas, that's the trouble with looking at nine-year-old software, sometimes which package is responsible for which files changes over time. :)
