** Description changed: Upgrading from Bionic to Cosmic (or later) is not possible in WSL - (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) fails since - when lxd package upgrade (with the deb -> snap transition) starts it - can't be completed successfully. The package upgrade can only be aborted - if the snap command fails, hence the distribution upgrade can't be - completed either. + (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) since when + lxd package upgrade (with the deb -> snap transition) starts it can't be + completed successfully. The package upgrade can only be aborted if the + snap command fails, hence the distribution upgrade can't be completed + either. As a workaround one can do: - $ sudo mv /usr/bin/snap /usr/bin/snap.real - $ sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/snap + $ sudo mv /usr/bin/snap /usr/bin/snap.real + $ sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/snap in a separate terminal, but this is not a smooth upgrade experience by any means. The upgrade can fail the same way if the snap store is not available possibly due to strict firewalling requirements and most likely distro upgrades should work in those environments as well. As a solution when the snap transition does not work during the package upgrade please upgrade the package to a state, where new invocations of lxd or lxc starts the snap installation later.
