Comment 11 for bug 2058554

Hi,

We tried to update snapd to the beta but at the current state snapd can not install any updates, not even itself. "snap refresh" also get locked.

root@juju-5ff7db-2:~# snap refresh --channel=beta snapd
^C

We can download the update (as the codepath for download does not seem to depend on that mutex that blocks the rest of the process) but we can not install it from the snap file itself:

root@juju-5ff7db-2:~# snap download snapd
Fetching snap "snapd"
Fetching assertions for "snapd"
Install the snap with:
   snap ack snapd_21184.assert
   snap install snapd_21184.snap
root@juju-5ff7db-2:~#
root@juju-5ff7db-2:~# snap ack snapd_21184.assert
error: cannot assert: cannot communicate with server: timeout exceeded while waiting for response
root@juju-5ff7db-2:~#

We will reboot the container to force snapd to remount everything.
