Public bug reported:
I have a VM running on AWS. It was launched on May 9th:
$ uptime
05:26:21 up 12 days, 6:34, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
$ date
Wed May 22 05:26:24 UTC 2019
I touched none of the system defaults, and yet the motd has not updated
automatically.
$ ls -l /var/cache/motd-news
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 9 22:53 /var/cache/motd-news
The systemd timer unit looks like this:
$ systemctl status motd-news.timer
● motd-news.timer - Message of the Day
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/motd-news.timer; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)
Active: active (elapsed) since Thu 2019-05-09 22:51:58 UTC; 1 weeks 5 days
ago
Trigger: n/a
May 09 22:51:58 ip-172-31-23-224 systemd[1]: Started Message of the
Day.
If I run /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news --force manually, the file does
update correctly.
