[Bug 1498059] Re: hwe-support-status should be included in newer releases

[Vlad Orlov]

One additional issue I missed before... I'm running this Xubuntu 14.04
in VirtualBox and have the guest packages installed. I use the recently
added -lts-wily packages that are built against the Wily stack.

So, they're shown in the unsupported list:

$ hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported | grep virtualbox
xserver-xorg-video-vesa-lts-wily virtualbox-guest-utils-lts-wily 
virtualbox-guest-x11-lts-wily libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-wily 
xserver-xorg-video-savage-lts-wily virtualbox-guest-dkms-lts-wily

However, 'hwe-support-status --show-replacements' doesn't show -lts-
xenial replacements for them.

You can check these packages in trusty-updates repo:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/src:virtualbox-lts

Bug description:
  Test Case (for update-notifier)
  -------------------------------
  1) Install an End of Life HWE stack (utopic/vivid/wily)
  2) Install the version of update-notifier and update-manager from Trusty -proposed
  3) Force an motd update via 'sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-hwe-eol'
  4) Observe a message regarding your HWE stack being End of Life.
  5) ssh localhost - confirm same HWE EoL message appears

  
  Right now hwe-support-status is only in 12.04.  14.04 users might want that information for their release as well.

  Alternatively the functionality could be merged into ubuntu-support-
  status.
