The old name came from the old ubuntu-advantage-tools bash client, version 10. If this name remains incorrect, the security update coming from ESM won't be counted, which is exactly this bug. So the regression potential in this one liner is that it remains uncounted. [Other Info] Instead of fixing the pocket's name, we could have *added* a new pocket with the current correct name, since the server part of ESM responds to both trusty-security and trusyt-infra-security (with origin UbuntuESM). The reasons we didn't do that are: - only the old bash client (version 10) used the old pocket name, and it's not available for trusty anymore (unless you go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+publishinghistory and fetch it) - there was a concern about potentially counting updates twice, if both trusty-security and trusty-infra-security were enabled at the same time - the upgrade from the bash client (v10) to the current client DOES NOT change the pocket name in the sources.list snippet for ESM, so in that brief moment after an upgrade and before a reattach, the count would be zero just like in this bug. HOWEVER, it's a known process that after upgrading from the bash client to the current one, the machine has to be attached again. See the last paragraph of the description in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1832757, which is when the non-bash client was SRUed, reproduced below: """ On an upgrade, existing users of trusty esm are expected to run "sudo ua attach [<token>]", although not doing it won't disable their existing ESM access. The new ua tool just won't recognize esm as being active in its "ua status" output until the attach operation is complete. The same applies to livepatch, if it was enabled before. """ The process of attaching will rewrite the pocket name in the local sources.list file snippet from trusty-security to trusty-infra-security. Finally, this update is for trusty only. Xenial doesn't have ESM yet, and updating update-notifier there would be an useless download for users, with a regression risk for no benefit. [Original Description] ESM-related Security pocket packages are not reported being classified as security due to a rename in the backend apt suites from esm-security -> esm-infra-security and esm-apps-security. The customer issue reported catches the symptom well: """ I believe there's a problem with "apt_check.py" in the "update-notifier-common" package when using "ua".
