Snaps not included in image manifests

Is this change expected to appear in Stable Releases? Does it conform to Stable Release Updates policy?

Since snaps are now being shipped in images for stable releases as well, and
as a result their manifests are currently incomplete, yes.

In my view, yes.

Hello Cody, or anyone else affected,

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Hello Cody, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.408.42 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

We aren't building daily xenial ISOs currently (since we're past the last point release), but I checked the log for the latest bionic daily:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/bionic/ubuntu/+build/154102/+files/buildlog_ubuntu_bionic_amd64_ubuntu_BUILDING.txt.gz

and it looks like this is verification-failed, because the log shows livecd-rootfs 2.525.12 from -proposed being used, but http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/bionic/daily-live/20190110/bionic-desktop-amd64.manifest doesn't show the snaps (e.g. gnome-system-monitor).

Marking v-failed.

Please note that for now this bug only applies to cloud images.

Cody, could you please verify if this works for cloud images now? If yes, could you please set the tags to verification-done-bionic?

Verification done for Bionic and Xenial.
