*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
ubuntu-support-status returns inaccurate and misleading information. It uses the Supported field in the Packages file which hasn't been used or updated since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier releases when we had a 3 year/5 year support split between desktop and server. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Official%20Support) It also uses the term "unsupported" instead of "community-supported" which doesn't accurately portray the status of universe packages. This tool should be rewritten to return more accurate results, or simply removed completely. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Wily) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
