I too verify that 1:0.156.14.18 in precise-proposed fixes the issue. With update-manager 1:0.156.14.17 the exact output of the "hwe-support- status --show-replacements" is:
administrator@server:~$ hwe-support-status --show-replacements linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty and after upgrading update-manager to 1:0.156.14.18 the output is: administrator@server:~$ hwe-support-status --show-replacements linux-generic-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty linux-signed-generic-lts-trusty linux-signed-image-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty Also, as mentioned by Alkis Georgopoulos at the above comment after removing the update-manager package the exact output of the command "hwe-support-status" 1:0.156.14.17 gives an apt-get line without requiring the "--show-replacements" and without mentioning the signed packages. administrator@server:~$ hwe-support-status Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is no longer supported since 2014-08-07.
