[Bug 1179257] Re: "Exception: No date tag found" in ubuntu-support-status

[Brian Murray]

Is this still an issue for you?  It's likely dependent on the package so
it'd help to know what package it is crashing on.  You could a
print(pkgname) in the function get_maintenance_status around line 19 to
see what package it is tripping over.  Thanks in advance!
