Can you try a reinstall of some of the other packages that have files in that directory? For example, on my system:
$ dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d/* base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/00-header base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: /etc/update-motd.d/91-release-upgrade update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/95-hwe-eol update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-fsck-at-reboot update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required If you install ubuntu-advantage-tools, I think you will get an ESM motd as well. It won't display anything on ubuntu (as it's precise only), but should place another file in that directory and may trigger this behavior too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745347 Title: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1745347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
