Bug Description
software-properties currently uses a HTTP over Unix domain socket service from the livepatch snap to get the status and enable/disable it. This service is being deprecated with the 'ua' command line tool now providing this functionality. software-properties also installed the snap to gain access to this service. This is no longer required as the 'ua' tool does this.
(*) The Livepatch service is a HTTP over Unix domain service running on livepatchd.sock inside the livepatch snap.

The current implementation shows "Last check for updates". As far as I can tell this information is not available via the UA client. It also shows a list of applied CVE fixes, which again I don't think is available from the UA client.
See attached screenshot of current implementation in 18.04 LTS.
