[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Balint, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-meta into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/1.440.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  ubuntu-wsl: Please recommend show-motd

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Eoan:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

    * Desktop users of WSL are 'dropped into' the Ubuntu shell instead of logging in to the WSL container, thus they don't see MOTD. Then don't get information about the system's state via desktop notifications either, because the default Ubuntu WSL system does not start the Ubuntu desktop.
    * To show important system information to users being dropped to a shell directly the show-motd package was created to show MOTD using a /etc/profile.d script.
    * To have this script in place ubuntu-wsl needs to recommend show-motd.

  [ Test Case ]

   * Use 'apt-cache show ubuntu-wsl' to check if ubuntu-wsl recommends
  update-motd.

  [ Regression Potential ]

   * Pulling in a /etc/profile.d script that exits can make the started
  shell exit immediately. For this reason the shell does not exit in any
  case. The script can also throw confusing errors. To avoid such errors
  the script is tested in an autopkgtest and many related packages were
  fixed where errors were observed. The update-motd package adds Breaks:
  against related package versions which are known to show errors in
  MOTD when being run as a regular user. See LP: #1855271 for more
  details.

  [ Other Info ]

   * The SRU upload to Eoan waits for the acceptance of update-motd to
  Eoan and also for the seed merge.
