Support for this has landed in ubuntu-release-upgrader 1:18.10.8 in cosmic; LP: #1748581. Note that this is based on a whitelist of known seeded snaps that are encoded in u-r-u as part of the quirks handling (which is not ideal since it duplicates the package seeds), so this will need to be updated to include the lxd snap here. > Since the same version of the snap will be pushed to all Ubuntu series, > wouldn't it make more sense to have it just be "ubuntu", saving us the > trouble of having to figure out what to do on Ubuntu release upgrades > and reflecting the fact that the snap is the same for all series. This escape hatch exists precisely for the case that the upstream stable snap does not integrate correctly in a release-agnostic fashion and per-Ubuntu-release quirking is needed. Better to have it and never use it than to need it and not have it. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
