It may or may + not work, even when provided, which may result in further SRUs to fix + VGAuthService functionality. + + [Other Info] + + * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xml-security-c/+bug/1482777/comments/14 - upstream commitment to move to a main-only dependency + + * Original bug report + After install the embedded OVT 10.1.5 and reboot for Ubuntu-17.04-beta2, The VGauth service is not running.
