Bug Description
[ Description ]
I'm trialing the development release of Ubuntu 20.04, installed in December and kept up-to-date by regularly running apt full-upgrade.
I understand from [1] that 20.04 will ship gnome-{
Following an apt full-upgrade in late February, I now have:
* both the snap and the APT versions of gnome-{
* still only the APT version of gnome-software, no snap-store
Is this normal? A user in the #ubuntu+1 IRC channel reports that a fresh install of the development release:
* only features the APT versions of gnome-{
* features the snap-store (but also the APT version of gnome-software)
Are users of older installs of the development release supposed to manually uninstall the snap versions of gnome-{

[ Testing ]
With the linked branch applied, update-manager will now (post-upgrade) update snaps according to the seeds described in /usr/share/
There are three possible update actions:
1. A seeded snap that is not already installed gets installed.
2. An unseeded snap that has dependants gets refreshed to stable.
3. An unseeded snap that has no dependants gets removed.
In case 1, if the equivalent deb is installed and was not installed manually, it gets removed.
To test all three cases:
`
sudo apt -y install gnome-software
sudo apt-mark auto gnome-software
snap remove snap-store
snap install gnome-3-28-1804
snap refresh gnome-3-28-1804 --channel=
snap install libreoffice
snap install gnome-calculator
snap refresh gnome-calculator --channel=
snap install gnome-logs
snap refresh gnome-logs --channel=
snap install gnome-characters
snap refresh gnome-characters --channel=
update-manager
`
Once the update completes you should have:
- the gnome-software deb removed,
- the snap-store snap installed from "latest/
- the gnome-3-28-1804 snap installed from "stable",
- and the gnome-{
