[SRU] 2.61.3

[Philip Meulengracht]

This is a new version of snapd. It was created only because 2.61.2 did not build on noble.

The changelog is available here https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.61/packaging/ubuntu-16.04/changelog, the raw git changelog is available here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/2.61 (note that the debian changelog is auto-generated from the merges of the git commits so there is usually no need to look at the raw git commits).

The snappy team released a new release that we want SRU into focal+. The process described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdUpdates was used and we have done integration-tests on the snappy images, autopkgtests on classic and unit tests.

GitHub Actions test runs can be found at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/actions?query=branch%3Arelease%2F2.61

Accepted all the snapd uploads. Besides running the automated testing, I'd like someone to run the proposed snapd for every series and try some basic snap interactions (and a reboot) just in case. I'm fine if someone convinces me that automation tests all of that already though!

The failure of snapd autopkgtest suite looks like infrastructure issue:

1099s - Download snap "go" (10555) from channel "stable" (Get "https://canonical-bos01.cdn.snapcraftcontent.com/download-origin/canonical-lgw01/Md1HBASHzP4i0bniScAjXGnOII9cEK6e_10555.snap?interactive=1&token=1710280800_3e59ace000f75f3bf9d5b52c1de3c09f8aedd5bb": net/http: timeout awaiting response headers)

In mantic-proposed I see
snapd 2.60.4+23.10.1

[Sergio Cazzolato (sergio-j-cazzolato)]

Manually tested all the supported versions and ran tests.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Has anyone looked into the systemd autopkgtest regression? It doesn't *appear* to be related, but the failing DNS test appears consistent and is not obviously a broken test.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for snapd has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

oh snap, that was a mistake, didn't notice the test failures before hitting accept

that said, the failures are not due to this update but something earlier, possibly kernel
