[Bug 1723094] Re: Live images should be able to turn off Snap updates

Thanks. For info I tested with a 3 weeks old ISO with out of date preinstalled snap packages on which I installed snapd 2.32 and casper with this patch and I verified that refresh.hold is set to 60d in the future and that no snap package is refreshed. -- You received this bug notification
