HestiaCP Packages Triggering esm-apps

Community Support
1

For a while now, apt upgrade has been suggesting I upgrade to Ubuntu Pro in order to have access to “more security updates.” (See output below.)

We have not installed any extra packages on our HestiaCP box. We try to keep it plain vanilla so that it’s easy to update. We are still on Focal Fossa (20.04.6 LTS) if that makes a difference.

The imagemagick package seems to be one of the main ones causing the esm-apps suggestion to pop up. Is this package something I can just remove?

I’d really like to get back to a clean update/upgrade.

You can just ignore the message it is currently not installed via ems-apps but via
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/apache2/ubuntu

And yes this is the method to promote EMS for users…

I realize I can ignore the message, but I would really prefer to make it go away.

From your reply, @eris, it looks like you would expect the packages (e.g. imagemagick) to be updated. Is that what you meant?

@mmoo9154 You can get a lifetime 5 server/vps Ubuntu Pro personal subscription free.
Includes live patch, live kernel updates etc, I run it on Ubuntu 22.0.4 and have no issues on latest Hestia.

If you want to remove the nags you can try the following:

create backup folder:

sudo mkdir /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/off;

Move the esm hook to disable nag:

sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/off;
