The message of the day(motd) is no longer displayed when I login into the VPS. I had installed some python libraries and ran sudo apt-get autoremove when I had to delete incorrect libraries.
Did that mess with motd in any way? How can I re-enable it?

Is the MOTD displayed when you log in through the remote console? Make sure that your sshd config allows the MOTD to be shown on login:
UsePAM yes
PrintMotd no
Don’t forget to restart the ssh server/daemon after modifying the config file:
sudo service ssh restart
