Public bug reported:
When doing some ISO content checks this cycle for Lubuntu, I noticed
something strange:
$ sudo ls -lahR /var/lib/snapd/ | grep "\.snap"
[...]
-rw------- 2 root root 4.0K Feb 16 19:24 bare_5.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 74M Feb 16 19:24 core22_1748.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 259M Feb 16 19:24 firefox_5751.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 12M Feb 16 19:24 firmware-updater_167.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 517M Feb 16 19:24 gnome-42-2204_202.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 92M Feb 16 19:24 gtk-common-themes_1535.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 45M Feb 16 19:24 snapd_23545.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 4.0K Feb 16 19:24 bare_5.snap

-rw------- 2 root root 517M Feb 16 19:24 gnome-42-2204_202.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 92M Feb 16 19:24 gtk-common-themes_1535.snap
-rw------- 2 root root 45M Feb 16 19:24 snapd_23545.snap
There are *two* copies of every single snap on the ISO. And they are not
symbolic links.
I thought, perhaps this is a consequence of my ISO bootup, perhaps snapd
likes to put them there for some reason?
Nope:
$ sudo unsquashfs -ls /cdrom/casper/minimal.standard.squashfs | grep "\.snap"
[...]

squashfs-root/var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_23545.snap
This is a release blocker for Lubuntu 25.04 and Lubuntu 24.04.3. Whether
this is a snapd bug or livecd-rootfs bug, there must only be one copy of
each snap installed.
