This problem is triggered by incorrect "/var/lib/snapd/seed/seed.yaml"
files. At various points during the development cycles they were
incorrect and that has (almost) no effect on the live-cd or the
installed system. However on the next snapd refresh it would trigger the
hang people are experiencing. The hang is caused by services waiting for
"snapd" to finish seeding but that never happens because the seed.yaml
is incorrect.
The best workaround is to
$ sudo mv /var/lib/snapd/seed/seed.yaml /var/lib/snapd/seed/seed.yaml
.disabled
and re-run the upgrade. Versions of snapd from ~April 2020 will do this
automatically for you if they detect a broken seed.
So I will close this bug as fixed because there is an automatic
workaround in snapd now. The tooling around the livecd got also improved
AIUI so that incorrect seed.yaml should be much harder to create now.
