Public bug reported:
>From /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier the script /usr/lib/update-
notifier/update-motd-updates-available is started on a successful "apt-
get update" run. It will update /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-
available with the number of new packages that are installable (and this
is inserted into the dynamic motd which is shown on every login).
In the past /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available was replaced by
an empty line from the Dpkg::post-invoke hook. This is missing in
Xenial, so motd will incorrectly claim to have installable packages
until there are again new ones after a updating the apt cache.
Delta in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier:
-DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch
/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi; if [ -e
/var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available ]; then echo >
/var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available; fi "; };
+DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch
/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi";};
+APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success
{"/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available 2>/dev/null || true";};
It looks like before the file was re-created by update-motd on every
login. And maybe while moving this to post-apt-get-update the reset was
dropped.
