Bug Description

While doing a do-release upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04, I got an error. The script wanted to install the Chromium snap and apparently while doing that, it failed.

Original summary generated by Launchpad:

package chromium-browser 87.0.4280.66-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: new chromium-browser package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Turns out, a lingering install of chromium-browser-l10n may have caused the problem:

Sandor, I'm not sure what happened, really, but you're saying that the problem is resolved now, is that right?

Do you have the chromium snap installed and working?
