[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1990444] Re: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update
Hi. Thank you for opening a bug report. I'm not sure that the store outage could prevent a snap from being used for 20 minutes since the snap remains available during the part of the update that fetches snaps and assertions from the store. The snap only becomes unavailable later when it's absolutely necessary. In order to help us understand what happened, could you run this script https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/debug-tools/snap-debug- info.sh and share the output with us? Also if you could run `snap changes` to see the latest changes, identify the change corresponding to the slow firefox update and then run `snap change ` with that update's ID, that might give us an idea of what happened.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1990444] Re: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update
That's fair enough, the problem appeared as being with firefox itself, even though the underlying cause was the outage of the snap store services. I'm not really sure how the user experience could be improved in case of an outage. I'm opening a snapd task for this bug though, let's see what the snapd team thinks about this kind of situation (which I agree is very puzzling and a bad experience from a user perspective). ** Also affects: snapd Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1990444 Title: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update Status in snapd: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I logged and firefox was unavailable, no indication of update, nothing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1990444] Re: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update
Thanks for the quick response, so this is not a bug affecting the firefox package, it's a bug in the packaging used by firefox ? I guess you're right, sorry for the noise but as firefox is the only consumer of snap on my system I thought it was valid to fill under the firefox package. I really appreciate your detailled answer but I'm really puzzled as to what I'm supposed to do as imho this should clearly not happen in an LTS. Should I fill a bug against the snap package as the problem is not the outage (service outages are ok) but the fact that the outage is not gracefully handled on the user side ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1990444 Title: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I logged and firefox was unavailable, no indication of update, nothing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1990444] Re: firefox snap took 20 minutes to update
If this happened yesterday, it could very well have been caused by a temporary outage of snap store services. See the "Incident History" section at https://status.snapcraft.io/.
