[Bug 1783597] Re: The disk-space-needed estimate doesn't account for the snaps

[Brian Murray]

Given that the snaps are located in /var/lib/snapd and we currently
allocate free space to download debs in /var/cache/apt/archives and that
it is a corner case for those to not be the same mount point it is
likely that the space allocated for /var/cache/apt/archives would be
enough free space.  However, the release upgrader doesn't currently
clean up the download .debs at all let alone before installing the
snaps. So one solution would be to have the release upgrader clean up
after itself.

Title:
  The disk-space-needed estimate doesn't account for the snaps

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Looking at the code change recently made to install snaps on upgade,
  it seems like there was no change made to the disk-space-estimate
  code. We had some reports recently that bionic might fail to boot to a
  working gdm on full disk so that could potentially be an important
  issue for upgraders
