** Description changed: Following recent updates, the /var/run/motd file is being updated properly, but the data contained within is not. This refers specifically to the data udpated by the following scripts: /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-cpu-checker /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-reboot-required /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available I have verified this behaviour on several of our machines, all of which are running Ubuntu Server 10.04. I've manually run /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable (called from /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available) and it outputs accurate data: it@milpat:~$ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable 0 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. Running the /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available script itself returns the appropriate data: it@milpat:~$ sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available 0 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. - it@milpat:~$ + it@milpat:~$ But even after running the script manually, the motd file does not contain the new data: - dmcgarry@emigre:~/devel/goofalicious/src/Goofalicious$ ssh milpat + dmcgarry@emigre:~/devel/goofalicious/src/Goofalicious$ ssh milpat Linux milpat 2.6.32-4-pve #1 SMP Thu Oct 21 09:35:29 CEST 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Welcome to Ubuntu! - * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ + * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ 8 packages can be updated. 2 updates are security updates.
