Public bug reported: 50-motd-news is shipped in base-files and uses curl but cannot depend on it. curl is not included by default on desktop installs. It'd be better if wget was used instead of curl to get the news from motd.ubuntu.com.
This is not trivial to implement, the script uses several advanced options of curl which don't appear to have direct equivalents in wget. ** Affects: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940570 Title: rewrite 50-motd-news to use wget instead of curl Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 50-motd-news is shipped in base-files and uses curl but cannot depend on it. curl is not included by default on desktop installs.
