This is resolved by adding some [new UI](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance) to the software properties application. [Test Case] 1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade 2. Open Software Properties 3. Go to Updates tab. Expected result: Information is shown that indicates if this system is using Extended Security Maintenance updates, when updates will supported until, and a link to upgrade to ESM. Observed result: No ESM information currently shown. [Where problems could occur] - Software properties could hit a bug getting a response from the ua app. The current code carefully checks if and what is returned, falling back to a safe default behavior. - Launching software properties could trigger a bug in the ua app. - Software properties could show incorrect information, causing confusion for the user. The solution uses information from distro-info and the ua app which means software-properties contains no data about ESM, and instead relies on these apps that can be updated if things change.
