UpdateClient flow doesn't work on Ubuntu

See original GitHub issue

Running UpdateClient from Ubuntu fails as the service restarts in the middle of the dpkg -i, killing all child processes leaving the service stopped and non-functional.

@atkinsj, my understanding is that the client update mechanism hasn’t worked in a long time and it’s not clear when it stopped functioning, since it’s not tested.

We’re looking at prioritising this issue in Q4 and reimplementing/fixing the client update mechanism with adequate testing. If everything goes fine, this will be fixed in December GRR release.

Ah gotcha, for some reason I thought this was Python generated server side and pushed to the client. Will update via config management to 3401. Thanks!
