Bug description:
[SRU] 2.68.5:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2098137
[ Impact ]
During apt installation of chromium-browser progress gets stuck at 20%.
Progress: [ 20%] [####################################........
[ Test Plan ]
1. Produce error with snapd 2.66.1 deb
sudo apt install chromium-browser
expect progress to stop at 20%
2. Change to snapd 2.68.5 deb
sudo apt install chromium-browser
progress should not stop at 20%, and installation should complete
Repeat for all targeted Ubuntu releases.
---original---
after an initial attemp to install where the progress got stuck at
20%, i rebooted as there were a bunch of other system updates that had
been applied after a fresh isntall.
Now chromium wont install
dantheperson@danski:~$ sudo apt install chromium-browser
