Public bug reported:
I'm currently working on a metered connection, so I reviewed the
download size of the updates that the system wanted me to apply:
$ sudo apt upgrade
...
Need to get 8,841 kB of archives.
...
This is acceptable to me, so I start the upgrade process. Partway
through, the chromium snap starts getting installed, which is _155 MB_.
I would not have installed this update if I had realised how large the
required download _actually was_, and I don't trust snapd to behave
itself if I terminate the install.
This is a frustrating user experience, and I think it should be better.
