** 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
