I also hit this today while running 'do-release-upgrade --dev' to upgrade a system from eoan to focal.
I was hesitant to kill the release upgrade and restart it, so I used a different workaround: - opened a second terminal - Run 'ps -A fwww', notice the following line: 2629 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/bin/snap wait system seed.loaded - Kill that process After doing this, the release upgrade continued. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776622 Title: snapd updates on focal never finish installing.
