[Bug 1871100] [NEW] [snap2deb] Not very robust wrt. network errors

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

Version: 1:20.04.2

I tried the following:

  - Have gnome-software eligible for a snap2deb transition (apt-mark auto gnome-software && snap remove snap-store)
  - Run update-manager, get prompted to do the transition
  - Go on with it, but while snap-store is downloading, kill the network (just turned it off using network-manager)

It took a while - perhaps how long it took for snapd to timeout - but I
got the normal 'updates are complete' message at the end. No indication
of any errors taking place, but I actually had a system with no gnome-
software and no snap-store either!

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
