[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1928604] Re: ubuntu-advantage-tools should not be auto-installed on supported Ubuntu releases
Thanks for taking the time to file this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better. ubuntu-advantage-tools does not provide only a way to enable ESM, it also provides a bunch of other services (from the project README): "The Ubuntu Advantage client provides users with a simple mechanism to view, enable, and disable offerings from Canonical on their system. The following entitlements are supported: Common Criteria EAL2 certification artifacts provisioning Canonical CIS Benchmark Audit Tool Ubuntu Extended Security Maintenance FIPS 140-2 Certified Modules FIPS 140-2 Non-Certified Module Updates Livepatch Service " Those other services might be useful in non-EOL releases. Due to that, the package is installed by default in all supported releases. ** Changed in: ubuntu-advantage-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928604 Title: ubuntu-advantage-tools should not be auto-installed on supported Ubuntu releases Status in ubuntu-advantage-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I understand that Canonical thinks about financial profit.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1928604] Re: ubuntu-advantage-tools should not be auto-installed on supported Ubuntu releases
In other words ubuntu-minimal should not depend on ubuntu-advantage-tools for supported releases. You can make this dependency time-based. For example in 2023-05 add this dependency for 18.04 LTS. But currently it is not needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928604 Title: ubuntu-advantage-tools should not be auto-installed on supported Ubuntu releases Status in ubuntu-advantage-tools package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I understand that Canonical thinks about financial profit.
