[Bug 1577165] Re: 'Notify me of a new Ubuntu version' set to LTS by default in Yakkety

[Brian Murray]

The file which sets this option is actually part of the ubuntu-release-
upgrader source package:

 $ dpkg -S /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

** Package changed: software-properties (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-release-
upgrader (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Also affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Yakkety)
   Importance: High
       Status: Triaged

** Summary changed:

- 'Notify me of a new Ubuntu version' set to LTS by default in Yakkety
+ release-upgrades prompt option set to LTS in Yakkety

  release-upgrades prompt option set to LTS in Yakkety

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Yakkety:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In Software & Updates, by default the current setting is to only
  inform Yakkety users of LTS updates. This makes no sense since Yakkety
  will probably be EOL by July 2017 which is before the probable release
  of the next LTS in April 2018. I recognize that this is early stages
  for Yakkety but this default should be changed at some point before
  release.

  Naturally, I imagine that this bug would be fixed on a CD image and
  the one I used is now 5 days old so if someone could confirm this if
  they find the bug on the latest CD image then I would be very
  grateful.
