Likely need to keep both UBUNTU_CODENAME and VERSION_CODENAME in xenial forever, to avoid having to add a (very) icky "Breaks: snapd (<< fixed- version)" to base-files when we remove it.
Though, in the interest of correctness, I suppose that Breaks would also be necessary in yakkety, but maybe we can get away with handwaving past it, if it doesn't critically break snapd on upgrade. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Adam Conrad (adconrad) ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Adam Conrad (adconrad) ** Description changed: - The os-release specification was updated in systemd > 230 to also - include a VERSION_CODENAME parameter: - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/646b997c118e261c5ececc434dd40d0dbdbac4d8 + [ SRU Justification ] + UBUNTU_CODENAME was added by the snapd team, then proposed upstream in a more generic way.
