Incident Report - cluster-command.sh - require-upgrade not returning correct upgrade info

cluster-command.sh require-upgrade not returning correct infomation

Need to change this command because at times it is returning 0 but when running update and upgrade a system require an update
/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable

[BradleyA]

test this:

The issue was resolved by changing the shebang in the apt-check script from:

sudo vi /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check

#!/usr/bin/python3

to

#!/usr/bin/python3.5

python3 was calling a python interpreter without the module apt_pkg installed. After changing it back to the default python3.5 the motd is updating properly.

If anyone else has a similar problem in the future you can run this command to manually check if there are packages available to update:

python3.5 /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable

or

sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available
