[Bug 2041699] [NEW] term.log is a 0 byte file

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

There is code in ubuntu-release-upgrader to create a term.log file but
looking at ubuntu-release-upgrader bug reports (there is an apport hook
which attaches it) and upgrades I've done recently term.log appears to
be a 0 byte file.

DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk3.py
601:            self._terminal_log = open(os.path.join(self.logdir,"term.log"),"w")

Having term.log would have been helpful as messages regarding upgrading
/ refreshing snaps are sent there.
