[Bug 1745347] Re: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install

[Andreas Hasenack]

Can you try a reinstall of some of the other packages that have files in
that directory? For example, on my system:

$ dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d/*
base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/00-header
base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text
base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news
update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: /etc/update-motd.d/91-release-upgrade
update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/95-hwe-eol
update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-fsck-at-reboot
update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required

If you install ubuntu-advantage-tools, I think you will get an ESM motd
as well. It won't display anything on ubuntu (as it's precise only), but
should place another file in that directory and may trigger this
behavior too.
