[Bug 1841225] Re: deb to snap transition uses an ubuntu release channel for the core18 snap

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:19.10.11

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:19.10.11) eoan; urgency=medium

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py, DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    Modify DistUpgradeQuirks to calculate extra space needed for snaps that
    need to be installed during upgrade (replacing old debs) and add that to
    estimates done in checkFreeSpace(). (LP: #1783597)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeQuirks.py: Make sure snaps like core18 are not
    refreshed/installed from the stable/ubuntu-VERSION branch but instead use
    stable on upgrades. (LP: #1841225)

Title:
  deb to snap transition uses an ubuntu release channel for the core18
  snap

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Disco:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Eoan:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The release upgrader (DistUpgradeQuirks.py) tries to run the following
  command when upgrading a system without snaps installed to Ubuntu
  19.10 (eoan):

  snap install --channel stable/ubuntu-19.10 core18

  This channel does not exist and the release upgrade will fail e.g.:

  2019-08-23 03:24:45,533 DEBUG quirks: running eoanPostUpgrade
  2019-08-23 03:24:45,533 DEBUG running Quirks.eoanPostUpgrade
  2019-08-23 03:24:51,547 DEBUG install of snap core18 failed
  2019-08-23 03:25:51,348 DEBUG install of snap gnome-3-28-1804 succeeded

  The quirk should be updated so that an ubuntu release channel is not
  used when installing the core18 snap.
