- Let the landscape-client-ui show up in Ubuntu MATE
[Test Case]
There is unfortunately no specific test cases since this is a bunch of bugfixes to improve landscape-client for Trusty users.
General dogfooding and all tests as outlined by the QA procedures here will have to be covered:

[Regression Potential]
* Potential risk is low :
- Theses bugfixes has been proven to work for lansdcape-client Xenial and late
- The debdiff has been provided by the Canonical Landscape team, which IMHO should bring even more confidence (CI verifications, ...)
* In term of testing, the usual SRU testing (sanity check, installation, usability, server-client scenarios using VM/container/....) will be done by the Landscape Squad within the Canonical support team.
* In addition, the "Packaging QA" testing as described here : https:/
The above should cover pretty much everything needed to make sure we have a solid new package to release in the field (trusty-updates)
[Other Info]
After a discussion with sil2100 (SRU verification member), explaining him the current situation. We came to an agreement to go ahead with a SRU + the additional Landscape testing.
[Original Description]

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:/
