** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
-   * Error messages emitted to software-properties-gtk console "[Errno 2] No 
such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json'" due to 
incorrect expectation that status.json file is written when non-root runs `ua 
status`
-   * This logic results in multiple `ua status` calls which each result in a 
network-egress to https://contracts.canonical.com on unattached machines which 
could result in delays in rendering  the GTK dialogs while awaiting a response.

  [Test Case]
- 1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage from -proposed
- cat > setup_proposed.sh <<EOF                                                 
  
- #/bin/bash                                                                    
  
- mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu                                       
  
+ 1. Install latest version of software-properties-gtk from -proposed
+ cat > setup_proposed.sh <<EOF
+ #/bin/bash
+ mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
  echo deb \$mirror \$(lsb_release -sc)-proposed main | tee 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
- apt-get update -q                                                             
  
- apt-get install -qy software-properties-gtk                                   
               
- EOF                                                                           
  
-      
+ apt-get update -q
+ apt-get install -qy software-properties-gtk
+ EOF
+ 
  IP=`uvt-kvm ip ${DESKTOP_VM}`
  scp setup_proposed.sh ubuntu@$IP:.
  ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo bash ./setup_proposed.sh
  
  2. run software-properties-gtk on the commandline
  ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk
  
  # Validate no error messages on launch
  3. Click Updates tab and validate
- Basic Security Maintenance   "<link>Extend..." opens a browser to ESM
+ Basic Security Maintenance   "Extend..."
+ Active until 04/23/2025
+ 
+ (Extend.. is a link that will spawn a browser to
+ ubuntu.com/security/esm)
+ 
  
  4. Click Cancel button
  
  5. Attach to a UA contract and re-run Software and updates UX
  ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo ua attach $MY_TOKEN
  ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk
  # validate no error messages
  
  6. Click Updates tab and validate:
  Extended Security Maintenance
  Active until 12/31/1999
  
+ # Note no "Extend..." text or link
  
  [Where problems could occur]
-  * invalid parsing of UA contract information or missing 
/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json will print messages to the console in the 
event of errors or warnings.
-  * failures and tracebacks in this code will result in invalid representation 
of system defaults in the Updates tab about whether or not a machine is 
attached to a contract or whether the contract is expired.
-  * Other than user-facing documentation about the state of the UA 
subscription this does not prevent the dialogs from functioning.
-  * limited network environments could have a delay of UX rendering due to `ua 
status` calls timing out on attempts to reach contracts.canonical.com
