Mantic preseeding of LXD using incorrect track/channel

[Philip Roche]

Recent Mantic cloud image builds fail - see https://launchpad.net/~cloudware/+livefs/ubuntu/mantic/cpc/+build/604087 build log for an example.

```
+ UBUNTU_STORE_ARCH=amd64 SNAPPY_STORE_NO_CDN=1 snap download --cohort=MSAqIDE3MTI5MDgwNDcgNWIzNmM3MmIwYjVmNDIyMjQ5Y2NmY2JhNjA4MjAyNTliYzAyNjA4NWYzMjA1MWNlN2U3Y2Y3NjE5NzgwMmZkMQ== --channel=stable/ubuntu-23.10 lxd
Fetching snap "lxd"
store_download.go:142: no host system xdelta3 available to use deltas
error: cannot download snap "lxd": no snap revision available as specified
```

The was due to the default track now pointing to "5.21" instead of "latest". That change was made 20240411 which corresponds to when we started seeing failures.

The long term solution is to preseed from "latest/" for all snaps and no longer assume that "latest/" is the default.

[ Impact ]

All image with preseeding of the LXD snap will fail

[ Test Plan ]

 * Successfully build image with LXD preseeded with these changes
 * confirm LXD is preseeded/installed and works as expected.
 * Confirm that preseeding other snap like google-cloud-cli for example in the GCE images continues to preseed as expected.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * If other snaps are also preseeded they might not be preseeded as expected. This is covered in the test plan.

[ Other Info ]

 * A temporary workaround has been made to point 5.21/stable/ubuntu-23.10 to the 5.19 LXD snap but this will expire in one month.

This does not affect Noble as we no longer preseed LXD in >=Noble

Hello Philip, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into mantic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/23.10.59 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-mantic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

This issue affects Oracular/24.10 too.

[Philip Roche (philroche)]

Verification done for Mantic now.

 * Successfully built image with LXD preseeded with these changes
 * confirmed LXD is preseeded/installed and works as expected.
 * Confirmed that preseeding other snap like google-cloud-cli for example in the GCE images continues to preseed as expected.

Accepting mantic from unapproved is blocked on this being fixed in oracular, or at least in oracular-proposed. The same goes for releasing mantic-proposed into updates.

[Philip Roche (philroche)]

I have marked Oracular "Invalid" as this is specific to the releases prior to Noble where preseeding of LXD was still supported

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for livecd-rootfs 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.
