@robert-ancell and @corradoventu those errors are due to running
software-properties-gtk as non-root user on a system that is not
attached to any ubuntu-advantage services.
The /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json file is only created by a
root user via an `sudo ua status` or `sudo ua attach <token>` call. The
absence of the file means that the system is not attached to any valid
Ubuntu Advantage services, and the logic in
softwareproperties/gtk/util.py will still correctly return an empty
representation for ubuntu-advantage services as an empty dict {} and the
UX dialogs properly direct folks to how to activate ESM in this case.
I mistakenly thought software-properties-gtk is invoked as root user in order
to install/update packages. Given that it is invoked as non-root user we can do
one of two things:
1. keep the current implementation which would print messages about missing
status.json files knowing that the UX dialogs still behave correctly.
OR
2. drop the subp call to 'ua' 'status' from utils.py:get_ua_status() because
they will never emit the /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json artifact and
also drop the printed messages about No ua status file written as that really
only means you are non-root and on an unattached machine.
