Bug Description

[Impact]

 * A xenial image that preseeds a snap based on core18 will
   end up with core instead and preseeding on boot will fail.

[Test Case]

 * Add a binary hook that pre-seeds lxd (which recently moved to a
   core18 base). Ensure the snapd and core18 are pulled in by the
   build and core is not present. Boot the image and ensure
   pre-seeding is successful.

[Regression Potential]

 * Images with pre-seeded snaps regress in some fashion. We will need
   to check these builds but there are no pre-seeded snaps in the
   livecd-rootfs tree for Xenial so this is a low risk change.

Hello Robert, 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/2.408.59 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

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

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I've looked at the ubuntu-image autopkgtest failure on ppc64el. The failure was a network timeout on a 'pip' command. Re-running the test has passed and this seems acceptable. I will continue testing the SRU per the testcase in the template and update this bug.

Built ubuntu-cpc images and tested that images with core or core18 based snaps build as expected. The core snap was pulled in for snaps without an explicit base while core18 & snapd were pulled in for snaps with an explicit core18 base, and were there were both we have core and core18 without snapd.
