update-notifier (3.192.26.1) eoan; urgency=medium
* Notify user about stale updates information in motd (LP: #1842159)
* Make /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available world-readable

* data/update-motd-hwe-eol: Run as a regular user without printing errors
(LP: #1855271)

There is no point in checking the HWE stack in a container since upgrading
it would not affect the host system. (LP: #1855290)

a regular user (LP: #1855271)

Bug description:
[Impact]
* /etc/update-motd.d snippets throw errors when a normal user runs them.
* This prevents showing MOTD when the user is dropped to a regular user's
shell in WSL.
[Test Case]
* Run update-motd's autopkgtest and observe scripts not throwing
errors.
[Regression Potential]
* The fixes are fairly simple, but to ensure no breakage the scripts
are also run as root.
