[Bug 1715012] Re: Installing snapd can hide dpkg prompts and make it look like it's stuck

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-advantage-tools - 9

---
ubuntu-advantage-tools (9) artful; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
- call apt-get with the non-interactive frontend variable set, and tell
  dpkg to keep the old config file by default should there be any prompts
  about that. (LP: #1715012)
- split the one big test file into multiple smaller files, for better
  maintainability.

** Description changed:

  [Why]
  
  The new upstream version has two changes only 
(https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/releases/tag/v9)
  - fix for this bug plus unit tests for it
  - test suite refactoring
  
  Were it not for the second change, I would not be asking for a Feature
- Freeze Exception. This second change split one big test python script
- into multiple modules, one per feature. That makes it easier to write
- new tests.
+ Freeze Exception (UPDATE: see comment #9). This second change split one
+ big test python script into multiple modules, one per feature. That
+ makes it easier to write new tests.
  
  That test refactoring alone incurred in this small change to the main script, 
to ease its unit testing:
  -SERIES=$(lsb_release -cs)
  +SERIES=${SERIES:-$(lsb_release -cs)}
  
  And:
  
  +KERNEL_VERSION=${KERNEL_VERSION:-$(uname -r)}
  (...)
  -KERNEL_VERSION=$(uname -r)
  
  These are the changes in the main script:
  
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/compare/v8...v9#diff-3614ddfe4ef6c3b7b4df10ed10ec3095
  
  And the full diff between the two releases:
  https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/compare/v8...v9
  
  [Travis CI]
  
  Upstream has travis setup to test each landing branch:
  https://travis-ci.org/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-advantage-script/
  
  Those tests are using python 3.5, while artful has python 3.6. I have
  attached a test log run on artful and python 3.6.
  
  [PPA with daily builds]
  We also have a PPA setup with daily builds from a github mirror using a 
launchpad recipe: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/+recipe/ubuntu-advantage-script-daily
  
  Here is the v9 artful build:
  
https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-advantage-tools-devel/+build/13335242
  
  [Bugfix test]
  
  This package is meant for LTS releases only, so it doesn't do much in
  artful other than to say it's not supported there. But since we will
  want to SRU it to the LTS releases, attached is a log of the trusty
  upgrade and livepatch enabling, which is what this bug is about.

  From the upstream report at https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/ubuntu-
  advantage-script/issues/54:
  
  I tried to enable livepatch on a trusty machine, but it got stuck:
  
  ubuntu@61-b1:~$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-livepatch

  Behind the scenes, what happened is that dpkg issued a prompt:
