Canonical's new take on Ubuntu LTS
Canonical seems to keep "security" updates hostage for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS user unless one subsribes to some additional service.
...
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled:
mc libzmq5 mc-data libsdl2-2.0-0 libmysofa1 ansible

- mattl 4y agoCan you post your sources.list and sources.list.d/*? Also, Ubuntu Pro is free for the first five devices and they just rolled it out so this may just be an error. EDIT: It looks like at least Ansible isn't in Ubuntu's main repo, it's in Universe...
- re9 4y agoNo, I dont need help with that :) Just wanted to let others know... Will be installing debian shortly.
- re9 4y agoJust noticed - LTS user is still allowed to update ubuntu-advantage-tools. How wonderful.

- runjake 4y agoI flagged this, because it is a dupe of this flagged post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34580360 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34580360 tl;dr: Canonical isn't keeping security updates hostage. Ubuntu Pro covers Universe packages, which weren't previously covered by official security updates. All the packages in main still get the same security updates as before without requiring Ubuntu Pro.
- re9 4y agoSo its the Canonical PR forum? My mistake.
