[Bug 1836594] [NEW] Snaps are broken in daily images

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

eoan:

livecd-rootfs | 2.599

bionic:

livecd-rootfs | 2.525.27

Images currently being built have non-functional snaps. Seeding never
finishes, and the journal contains:

Jul 15 13:52:16 ubuntu snapd[944]: stateengine.go:102: state ensure
error: devicemgr: cannot proceed without seeding "core"

seed.yaml doesn't contain core:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ cat /var/lib/snapd/seed/seed.yaml 
snaps:
  -
    name: core18
    channel: stable
    file: core18_1055.snap
  -
    name: snapd
    channel: stable
    file: snapd_3646.snap

  -
    name: gtk-common-themes
    channel: stable/ubuntu-19.10
    file: gtk-common-themes_1313.snap


I think it is due to this change in livecd-rootfs:

Which stopped unconditionally seeding core. But this can't be the whole
story, since disco was built with that livecd-rootfs and it *does* have
core.
