[hobbit] Drop test columns

I have Hobbit 4.2.0 running on Debian box and was trying numerous times to drop the "apt" and "libs" columns from the columns display for couple of client hosts with no avail. The reason I would like to drop them is they go yellow after system upgrades and started to be annoing now after some time.

I have tried doing it according to hobbit documentation:

• drop the test using the bb command
• use NOCOLUMNS statement in the bb-hosts file for each of the hosts to hide the columns

but the columns keep coming back after couple of minutes. So none of the above approaches work really.

You should turn off the extension script that injects apt status.

In Ubuntu (I assume it is the same in Debian), this is

/etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg

I think you can just add DISABLED to the entry.

After that, remove the column from hobbit as before, and it should not re-appear.
