[Bug 1844704] Re: Please make /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available world readable

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Balint, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-notifier into eoan-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
notifier/3.192.26.1 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:
  Please make /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available world readable

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-notifier source package in Eoan:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available is not readable for regular users which prevents assembling MOTD with a regular user's rights.
  ug.
   * This prevents showing package information when the user is dropped to a regular user's shell in WSL.

  [Test Case]

   * The file should be world-readable
   $ sudo apt update
   $ ls -alh /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83 Sep 19 15:29 /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is very simple, only a chmod command to leave the file
  world readable. Regressions are ulikely.
