Public bug reported:
After the most recent upgrade of ubuntu-advantage-tools/ubuntu-pro-
client (34~22.04), running apt upgrade --simulate (as non-root) prints
the following:
```
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

```
It appears to be caused by `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf`,
which indiscriminately tries to write to the log file. This is not
critical, but clutters the output of the command. Please get rid of
this.
