** Description changed:
ubuntu-advantage-tools installs "core" snap even though canonical-
livepatch snap exists for every base
it seems like instead of installing core22/stable on jammy systems, it
installs latest/stable with core snap base, making core snap
uninstallable.
I will try to reproduce this, but this is off.
Jammy+ systems, must not have core snap as unremovable anymore.
+
+
+ [Testcase]
+
+ On amd64:
+
+ snap install canonical-livepatch-client
+ snap refresh --revision 246 canonical-livepatch-client (installs core snap)
+ snap refresh --channel latest/stable
+ snap remove core (impossible)
+
+ Potentially on my system previous revisions of the snap still hold back
+ core snap being installed.
=== summary
snapd: once core snap is installed, it can never be removed
canonical-livepatch-client: does not provide base:bare build, nor does
the default track point to most current base (today "base:core22"); nor
do latest/stable/ubuntu-MM.YY branches exist that use matching base
(i.e. latest/stable/ubuntu-22.04 publishes the core22/stable snap
revisions)
ubuntu-advantage-tools: installs default track livepatch-client, which
doesn't match a given LTS release
ubuntu-release-upgrader: doens't currently switch canonical-livepatch-
client to use modern/matching base snap track.
