Comment 8 for bug 1824237

I used:

autopkgtest -s -U snapd_2.38+18.10.dsc -- qemu ./autopkgtest-cosmic-amd64.img

The image was built with:

autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -r cosmic

The tests indeed pull stuff from the store (I bet the core snap at least) but even if we assume the store is unstable it does not explain how a snap that was installed can become broken.

In snapd world a snap becomes broken when meta/snap.yaml cannot be loaded, for example, it would imply that the core snap was simply unmounted. The question is, if that really happened and if so, why?
