[Bug 1875444] Re: dl-ubuntu-test-iso in stable (rev 3) bustimicated

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

For the snap, this is because data_dir in distro_info is hardcoded to
/usr/share/distro_info/ whichi corresponds to the version included in
core18 not the version that ships with the snap itself.

Version 20200427 (1754) of core18 contains the right data file with
information about groovy.

distro-info could be updated to allow an override of data_dir instead of
using a hard coded path.

Meanwhile you can either wait until latest core18 is released to stable
or upgrade core18 to latest/candidate.
