Short answer: don't use ubuntu-support-status, it doesn't work. Long answer: ubuntu-support-status is a deprecated tool that used to be used when we had a 3y/5y split on desktop and server packages. It returns the contents of the "Supported:" tag which hasn't been updated since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I've filed a bug to get it removed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1574670 Marc. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
