Update on Azure Linux VM fails

Hello,

When I try to update a Linux VM (Ubuntu 22.04) from Azure either manually (One-time-update) or using a scheduled update, the update fails. The update works if I do it on the machine, but not from Azure.

This is what I see in the log file as an error:

I was not able to find any solution for this problem yet, so any help would be appreciated.

    @Lyubomir Bistrekov
    Thanks for the additional information. I am able to reproduce this issue. To work around this issue my recommendation is to manually install the ubuntu-pro-client package. After this you should be able to run updates as normal without errors. 

    apt-get install ubuntu-pro-client

    I have reported this issue to the Azure Updates internal team and will update once I confirmed this issue is resolved.

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you still have questions or need further assistance.
