Bug Description
== Comment: #0 - Thorsten Winkler - 2016-03-16 06:59:10 ==
Logging in into Ubuntu shows the MOTD (message of the day) which again shows how many packages still could be updated.
---------
For example:
Welcome to Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-11-generic s390x)
* Documentation: https:/
7 packages can be updated.
0 updates are security updates.
---------
After "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", then rebooting the system, this message still appears although now no package is available to update. That is sometimes confusing a little bit.
Here the config of /etc/pam.d/login:
session optional pam_motd.so motd=/run/
session optional pam_motd.so noupdate
I tried to comment the second line but nothing happened.
And I also tried to delete "/run/motd.

After apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade or aptitude the status of the number of updateable packages should be recalculated.
== Comment: #3 - Maxim Shchetynin - 2016-03-16 13:11:56 ==
These messages are generated by some Python script belonging to the package update-
To get rid of these annoying messages just remove the package update-

This message is not cleared at the end of "apt fullinstall" but they are cleared when update notifier runs again. It is a cosmetic issue.
It is wrong to assume that update-notifier is not needed on the server, it implements reboot notifications, upgrade notifications, security notifications as well as propagates the data into landscape.
