Public bug reported:
Upgrading 16.04, with btrfs and apt-btrfs-snapshot fails with
a message that it cannot create a snapshot.
The package apt-btrfs-snapshot (0.3.4.2) is installed. Notice that
on Xenial you need to create a symlink /sbin/btrfs -> /bin/btrfs in
order to get the snapshooting to work with apt.
>From the error messages it looks like it is trying to create a second
snapshot with the same name. Perhaps it's a race condition.
