Due to a now-resolved bug in the `date` command, some Ubuntu 25.10
systems have been unable to automatically check for available software
updates. Affected machines include cloud deployments, container images,
Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server installs.

To check if your system is affected, run `dpkg -l rust-coreutils` and
check the version field: Systems with version `0.2.2-0ubuntu2.1` or
later are *not* affected.

If your system is using `rust-coreutils <= 0.2.2-0ubuntu2,` you can
remediate the issue by manually updating the `rust-coreutils` package:

    sudo apt install --update rust-coreutils

If you have been manually updating your system using `apt` or otherwise,
you are likely unaffected by this issue.
