[Impact]
This release provides fixes to numerous issues encountered and reported by users against the recent uatools 27.0.2 release. In general, there were situations or phrasing of messages were causing users confusion. For instance, improve error messaging if trying to enable livepatch with an old snapd installed (LP: #1927329) and noise in logs from (non-critical) segfault messages (LP: #1929123). In addition, this includes some refinements to how we communicate product availability based on what the user already has installed.
Below are the notable high-level changes in this SRU:
* avoid segfault when comparing null Apt file origin to esm (LP: #1929123)
* make cis service non-beta
* livepatch: alert when snapd does not have wait cmd (LP: #1927329)
* Do not show beta services in autocomplete (GH: #1594)
* Block enabling fips if fips-updates once enabled (GH: #1600)
* pro: obtain AWS IMDSv2 API token before trying to grab pkcs7 doc (GH: #1608)
* Several tweaks to output and messages

[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdvantageToolsUpdates
The ubuntu-advantage-tools team will be in charge of attaching the
artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug.
ubuntu-advantage-tools team members will not mark ‘verification-done’
until this has happened.
* Automated Test Results
Attached in a comment below.
* Manual Test Results
<TODO: attach manual upgrade path test from previous LTS to current -proposed release>
[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned integration tests are attached to this bug.
This release mostly touches various messages output by ua-tools. If anyone is relying on particular output of ua-tools (which they shouldn't), then these changes will affect them.
We overrode some lintian errors in this release. It is possible that if we overrode them too liberally, it could prevent us from getting legitimate lintian errors in the future.
[Discussion]
This is a follow up release to 27 that addresses the issues discovered and reported after that release. It does not introduce any major features. The closest thing to a "new feature" is removing beta status from the "cis" service, but that is not so much adding a new feature as it is making an existing feature more visible.
