Public bug reported: The standard output from apt-check only reports "uprades;security_updates" when not using the --human-readable flag.
The request here is to update this standard output to either include ESM updates in the count shown "security_updates+esm_infra_updates" or to otherwise separate out "esm_infra_updates" and potentially "esm_apps_updates" into separate values in the standard output. This is somewhat related to the previously resolved bug 1926208 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update- notifier/+bug/1926208), where the --human-readable output was updated to make this distinction between security/ESM-infra/ESM-apps. Here is what is currently in the script: --- # print the number of upgrades if options and options.show_package_names: write_package_names(sys.stderr, cache, depcache) elif options and options.readable_output: write_human_readable_summary(sys.stdout, upgrades, security_updates, esm_infra_updates, esm_apps_updates, have_esm_infra, have_esm_apps, disabled_esm_infra_updates, disabled_esm_apps_updates) else: # print the number of regular upgrades and the number of # security upgrades sys.stderr.write("%s;%s" % (upgrades, security_updates)) # return the number of upgrades (if its used as a module) return(upgrades, security_updates) --- The request here is for any of the following to be used in /usr/lib /update-notifier/apt-check for output not using the --human-readable flag. --- sys.stderr.write("%s;%s;%s;%s" % (upgrades, security_updates, esm_infra_updates, esm_apps_updates)) --- sys.stderr.write("%s;%s;%s" % (upgrades, security_updates, esm_infra_updates+esm_apps_updates)) --- sys.stderr.write("%s;%s" % (upgrades, security_updates+esm_infra_updates+esm_apps_updates)) --- This should likely also be updated for the return value in the script as well, so that those values match whatever output is decided for the above request. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: feature-request -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928972 Title: apt-check standard output (without --human-readable) does not count or distinguish ESM packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1928972/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
