Title:
  Update manager converts chromium to snap, pauses "pending restart"

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

Bug description:
  I ran update-manager to go from 18.04 to 19.10. It wanted to convert
  chromium-browser to a snap. Apparently after it finished installing,
  it then halted and displayed the message as attached in the photo.
  After 45 minutes I held my nose and rebooted, and luckily was able to
  recover the rest of the installation via apt & dpkg, but this could
  just as easily have bricked the system.
