Title:
The option to select LTS notifications should be masked in non-LTS
versions
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have been bitten by _not_ knowing that selecting "Notify me of a new
Ubuntu version: For long-term support versions" in a non-LTS(17.10)
software-properties-gtk dialog box would simply silently fail to
inform users that they are no longer receiving updates to their Ubuntu
installs.
Please mask or hide the option to select "For long-term support
versions" if the currently running version is a non-LTS version(grep
or awk the /etc/os-release file or some-such for the LTS string).
It is non-intuitive to see this option as available to select and not
receive warning of its hazards.
