  non informative error message when enabling a non available UA service

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in software-properties source package in Jammy:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Jammy / software-properties-gtk:
    Installed: 0.99.17

  When trying to enable a service that is not available the error
  message provide no useful information about what went wrong (cf
  screenshot)

  
  and in the journal:
  ubuntu-advantag[1461382]: Failed to parse UA status: Operation was cancelled

  
  In both cases the error message should be similar to UA CLI:

  UA Infra: ESM is not available for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish).
