Public bug reported: I was testing an upgrade from Y to Z using do-release-upgrade and backed out when the changes were successfully calculated. Later on when I ssh'ed in I saw the following message.
$ ssh clean-yakkety-amd64 Welcome to Ubuntu 16.10 (GNU/Linux 4.8.0-46-generic x86_64) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com * Management: https://landscape.canonical.com * Support: https://ubuntu.com/advantage 955 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates.
