update-motd not updating /etc/motd after LTS upgrade

Hi,

I have a few scripts within /etc/update-motd.d/, e.g.

#!/bin/sh
unset PATH
/usr/bin/printf "%s\n%s\n\n" "Uptime/Load:" "$(/usr/bin/uptime)"

While on 10.04 and on a fresh installation of 12.04 this script works
fine, on two upgraded machines from 10.04 to 12.04 /etc/motd is not
updated. If I remove /etc/motd (/var/run/motd) it is not even
re-created at all.

What can I futher check?

Thanks, Helmut
