[Bug 1828639] Re: Unlooping all the trigger loops!!!!!

[Julian Andres Klode]

testing procedure:

For each test:
- multipass launch $release -d 10G
- Installed new dpkg from proposed
- Installed ubuntu-desktop
- Ran do-release-upgrade

the individual runs were:
- Installed xenial (1.18.4ubuntu1.6), upgraded to bionic (1.19.0.5ubuntu2.2)
- Installed bionic (1.19.0.5ubuntu2.2), upgraded to disco (1.19.6ubuntu1.1)

I tried upgrading all the way from xenial to eoan, but it broke down
after the bionic->disco update which somehow went wrong in lxd snap
transition somewhere or something.

disco->eoan WIP

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Quite a few bugs in triggers can cause distro upgrades to abort.

  [Test case]
  For cosmic -> disco, install ubuntu-mate-desktop and then upgrade.

  For other releases, there might not be any test cases

  We should at least run some upgrade tests for a system with ubuntu-
  desktop installed.

  [Regression potential]
  New trigger bugs could of course be caused by the changes.

  [Original bug report]

  Encountered when upgrading from cosmic to disco with ubuntu-mate-
  desktop installed.
