Public bug reported: I ran update-manager to go from 18.04 to 19.10. It wanted to convert chromium-browser to a snap. Apparently after it finished installing, it then halted and displayed the message as attached in the photo. After 45 minutes I held my nose and rebooted, and luckily was able to recover the rest of the installation via apt & dpkg, but this could just as easily have bricked the system.
