Comment 19 for bug 1873550

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 a couple of days ago, however today I started getting delayed shutdown due to this bug. I even tried re-installing Ubuntu 20.04, but after the first system update itself the shutdown was delayed.

$ snap --version
snap 2.44.3+20.04
snapd 2.44.3+20.04
series 16
ubuntu 20.04
kernel 5.4.0-31-generic
