[Bug 2019060] Re: Seeded snaps don't actually seed on Edubuntu

[Steve Langasek]

The BASE_SEED was not specified for edubuntu in livecd-rootfs, so it was
defaulting to 'desktop'.  Since you are including ubuntu, this points at
the ubuntu desktop seed; but you needed desktop-gnome.

I've uploaded this change to mantic-proposed.

However.  The third-party repository requirements, in the process of
being finalized at
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1apUKR4gtOrfPGCWmtoebaQUhoy-
fG8Cyo3VKJyhnpD0/edit#>, apply to all Ubuntu flavor images.  The
chromium snap does not comply with these policies, and you should not be
seeding it.  In practice it will fail to be installed anyway because the
necessary per-Ubuntu-release channel does not exist for this snap in the
snap store, so this will actually become a build failure now for
Edubuntu and you will need to remove the chromium snap from your seed.
But even if this were not the case, you may not seed chromium in
edubuntu.

Title:
  Seeded snaps don't actually seed on Edubuntu

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Snaps are not seeding on Edubuntu seeds.

  The Edubuntu desktop-gnome seed currently calls for snap:chromium.
  However, this does not even attempt to get seeded according to any
  logs. For now, this should at least cause an error that a
  stable/ubuntu-23.10 track has not been opened, but no such error
  occurs.

  It's conceivable that it's only seeding snaps from the ubuntu-desktop-
  minimal seed, which poses a problem as this means Edubuntu is unable
  to seed snaps on its own.
