I was reading on this page that running

ubuntu-support-status

Will "...print the exact status of your system."

However, if I run that command, it crashes and throws an exception. Here's the stacktrace:

dev@dev-Ubuntu:~$ ubuntu-support-status
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 133, in <module>
    pkg.name, support_tag)
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status", line 49, in get_maintenance_status
    raise Exception("No date tag found")
Exception: No date tag found

And I got this GUI popup: enter image description here

I found this, this and this on Launchpad....

I am using 14.04 x64

Well, thanks to @cl-netbox and @Videonauth, I have solved the problem.

Apparently, even though python-apt was up to date, some other package (that it probably depends on) wasn't, and that was the cause of the issue.

Simply running

sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

Fixed the issue.
