[Bug 1999975] Re: Snap crashes while firefox upgrade.

[Amin Bandali]

Hello, and sorry for the slow reply here.

Were you trying to upgrade your installed packages, or upgrade your
Ubuntu installation as a whole to a newer release of Ubuntu?

Also, in addition to removing the Firefox snap package, had you removed
its corresponding deb helper package too? (using e.g. 'sudo apt remove
fireofx')

I believe a reason this happened may have been that the 'ubuntu-desktop'
and 'ubuntu-desktop-minimal' packages declare 'firefox' in their
'Recommends' section, which I think by default results in apt trying to
install/upgrade them when upgrading packages.

As such, if you were trying to upgrade your installed packages, you
could try something like 'sudo apt upgrade --no-install-recommends' to
tell apt not to pull in 'Recommends' packages.
