        progress" status messages
      + retain past service state after detach
      + shows better error message when a port value in a proxy is invalid
    - non-unicode locale support:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  This bug impacts users on AWS, trying to enable FIPS/FIPS updates on
  Focal images. There is a missing package, 'ubuntu-aws-fips', which
  causes the installation to fail.

  This package is missing because, although Focal has a FIPS certified
  kernel, the AWS adapted kernel is not ready yet. There will be in the
  future a cloud-optimized version of the FIPS kernel, and then users
  will be able to install it.

  With the applied fix, UA will show a message saying that the kernel is
  not available instead of showing an error. If the user really wants to
  install FIPS, there is a feature override
  ("allow_default_fips_metapackage_on_focal_cloud") which will install
  the default kernel.

  [Test Case]
  To reproduce
  - Spin an AWS instance using the Ubuntu 20.04 image.
  - Attach a valid token
  - Run `$ sudo ua enable fips` (or `fips-updates`)

  To verify the fix:
  1. Update to ubuntu-advantage-tools 27.3, and run the same procedure. Verify that a message is displayed saying that the kernel is not available for the Focal release.
  2. Append the following to '/etc/ubuntu-advantage/uaclient.conf':
  """
  features:
      allow_default_fips_metapackage_on_focal_cloud: true
  """
  and then run the command again. Verify that it installs a base FIPS kernel, without the -aws prefix.

  [Regression Potential]
  This change needs to make sure that we indeed prevent the installation of the non-existent package. If a corner case shows up, the user might end up with a wrong kernel. This is unlikely because we are using cloud-init tools, present in AWS, to detect the cloud instance and effective blocking the install. If this detection fails, it means cloud-init has some problem and then, on AWS, the instance will have more problems than this one.

  We need to make sure to keep track of the certification progress for
  the cloud adapted FIPS package, so we can enable it in the future,
  when it becomes available.

  [Original Description]
  Using AWS AMI: ami-0193aa0a9df84a08b

  Attempting to enable fips-updates with the ua command line tool fails
  with error that apt "Unable to locate package ubuntu-aws-fips."

  Canonical has told me directly 20.04 is now FIPS 140-2 Level 1
  certified.
