Title:
snap install seemed to crash the machine, reboot now put package
management in a bad state
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Related to bug #1886414
Ubuntu 20.04 LTE desktop VirtualBox VM
Tried installing chromium-browser.
Seemed to hang at "installing chromium snap".
Terminal and desktop were no longer responsive, so I had to reboot the VM,
which apparently left the package manager in an inconsistent state.
doug@ubuntudesktop:~$ sudo apt remove chromium-browser
