Test Case
1. Upgrade from Xenial to Bionic with update-manager -d
Result
At some point, after the deb packages have been upgraded, the UI freezes completely (cf Screenshot) for several minutes (6 minutes on my test system from a default xenial installation without any snap installed) seemingly doing nothing while the upgrader is installing snap packages.
It should at least inform the user that snap packages are being installed, ideally with the currently running action like for debs.
Additionally, if the machine being upgraded loses network connectivity at this stage, it hangs there forever and the only way out is to manually abort the ongoing snap change.
