[Bug 2043820] Re: Unable to contact snap store on Xubuntu from Jammy to Noble

[Nick Rosbrook]

I just tried an upgrade on Xubuntu from Jammy to Noble. The reason this
happens is that in Kinetic, systemd-resolved was split into its own
binary package, and at the time that the transitional deb(s) are being
installed for thunderbird or firefox etc. (and hence the snap store
connectivity check happens), systemd-resolved has not been installed
yet. In other words, we have the following order of events:

1. New systemd unpacked / installed (results in systemd-resolved.service being killed and removed)
2. Snap transitional packages installed, snap store connectivity check attempted
3. New systemd-resolved unpacked / installed (systemd-resolved.service restored)

But we need systemd-resolved to be back before the connectivity check
(or have some other workaround in place).

Bug description:
  When running `do-release-upgrade -d` on Jammy Xubuntu, the upgrade
  fails consistently at the `Installing the firefox snap` step.

  This was first detected on Jenkins [1], then reproduced locally with
  `auto-upgrade-testing`, then finally by manually running a `do-
  release-upgrade -d` in a VM.
