[ 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-{calculator,logs,characters} as APT packages rather than snap
apps, and gnome-software as a snap app (called snap-store) rather than
an APT package.
Following an apt full-upgrade in late February, I now have:
* both the snap and the APT versions of gnome-{calculator,logs,characters}
* 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-{calculator,logs,characters}
* 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-{calculator,logs,characters} and manually install the snap-store?

[ Testing ]
With the linked branch applied, update-manager will now (post-upgrade)
update snaps according to the seeds described in /usr/share/ubuntu-
release-upgrader/deb2snap.json.
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=latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04
+ snap refresh gnome-3-28-1804 --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-18.04
snap install libreoffice
snap install gnome-calculator
- snap refresh gnome-calculator --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04
+ snap refresh gnome-calculator --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-19.10
snap install gnome-logs
- snap refresh gnome-logs --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04
+ snap refresh gnome-logs --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-19.04
snap install gnome-characters
snap refresh gnome-characters --channel=latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04
update-manager
`
Once the update completes you should have:
- the gnome-software deb removed,
- the snap-store snap installed from "latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04",
- the gnome-3-28-1804 snap installed from "stable",
- and the gnome-{calculator,logs,characters} snaps removed.
